Most Interesting Load

One complete log home that was disassembled by hand in Poland, loaded on 2 40' ocean containers and shipped to Edwards, Colo. They same guys (a crew of 6) who disassembled the house and loaded the containers were brought to the states to unload the two containers completely by hand, then rebuild the house. It took them 6 hrs to unload each container, and 4 days to build the house, entirely by hand the old fashioned way. Took the US plumbers, electricians, etc. 6 weeks to make the house livable, in Poland, the woman (it was her family home) moved all the furniture and fixtures out in 5 days and they had it disassembled in 3 days.

 

I always wonder how many people screw their trucks up by NOT turning off the engine on the "rocket launcher"?

 

I hauled 80 foot trusses on a trailer that only extended to 60 feet, talk about some wide turns. Hauled in a reefer, plates for computer boards,oh and animal blood meant for cancer patients, white blood cells.

 

When I was hauling cars I got to haul a Aston Martin v8 Vantage,....Only worth about 100,000 grand,....From MN to Chicago for a oil change,....lol...

I got a tour of the Aston,Ferrari,Maserati, dealership when I dropped it off,.....That was a neat place!!

 

I hauled a WWII LCT Higgins boat from Pa. to a private collector just outside of Salt lake City UT. This boat had been used in movies such as saving private Ryan and the HBO series Band of Brothers. This guy in UT. has the largest private collection of WWII artifacts in the U.S.. After I deliverd it he took me on a tour of the hangers filled with old tanks etc., and before I left he handed me a tip....it ended up being a $100.00 bill.

 

I had to deliver 2 loads of pig manure to a large garden with a front end loader.I almost lost my lunch about 20 times.

 

Hauled tiger's for barnum and baily circus from place to place. Only animals that didn't ride there train.

 

Why didn't they ride the train?

 

The owner of them didn't want them to i guess. Were in the cage and put on rgn's. 2 loads of tiger's. will have to load some pictures some day.

 

Sound/stage equpiment for Buck Cherry concert in Daytona Beach last summer. Took our teen daughter and her friend and got to hang with the bands and visit the Harley Museum there too. Got great pics at the museum.
