    I "hauled" a "load" out of the Lucas Films offices once.. It would have fit in the glovebox.. it was the masters for some computer game. Why they chose a trucking company to deliver it is still a mystery to me.

    trailer loads of cigarettes, the named brand ones, not the generics, and the old Circuit City electronics, and alcohol/liquors from Kentucky.

    Booze and cigarettes are watched because if one of those goes down.. the government is losing money..

    we had to go from MA to VA, or the carolinas, or to Kentucky, then back.

    we were told to NOT use I-95, or not to even stop along the way...

    uh excuuuse me, i came out and said, i need my breaks, my food, and if i have to use I-95 I WILL and if i have to stop...I WILL.

    strangely enough, nothing NEVER happened to us "northern boys", but SEVERAL of thier "southern boys" got jacked. one was even arrested as an "accomplice".......

    looks like they were taking to the wrong "boys"......

    Must have been a storage facility in the north bay. Skywalker Ranch and the Lucasfilm offices are on a very narrow and winding road near San Rafael, and I don't think you could get a 53 footer in there.
