Curious for all the drivers that Have been out there over the years and I suppose it would have a lot to do with what company you work for, but what’s the most high valued load you’ve ever hauled? And what things did they make you do different?
I just got done hauling a bunch of new Toyota engines. Not sure on total value, but I’m guessing $ half a million in the trailer. I was required to check in at every stop, told where to stop and wasn’t allowed to leave the truck unattended. I also had to overnight at a partner’s secured yard, not allowed at a truck stop.
Are there like security companies out there that run security for like high-value pharmaceutical loads and stuff like that? I can’t imagine hauling a refrigerator trailer worth like $200 million. Lol

Trailer full of cigarettes for JB Hunt out of Phillip Morris in Richmond VA in 1999. They told me to run 300 miles non stop after I picked it up. I remember the lady in the shipping office was a defiant smoker.

I've hauled PreTarped loads out of Skunkworks that I am sure are very valuable. Not sure what they were, but they were heavy and wide,

But the dispatcher nor the bills mentioned anything about what was on the trailer
The bills just mentioned the weight and the item number.
i stopped by my girlfriends house, dropped the trailer in a parking lot and bobtailed to her house for the night.
Went on the the delivery the next day and when I swung the doors open was stunned to see a load of ciggs.
I inquired about the value and they said about $2 million .bzinger, LoboSolo and silverspur Thank this. -

Scrap catalytic converters from Nova Scotia to L.A. , value 2.5$ million and weighed 12500 lbs. Just a plastic seal on and I picked the trailer up at a truck stop where the shunter had parked it the day before! The security at the receiver was mental, I didn't dare tell them I think they'd have passed out
