Part of the reason is the cargo in that box. In certain types of freight it's really expensive. Cheaper for me to knot a man on the head a few times than it is to cover the cost of the theft.
Been there done that, it wont be the first time.Texas_hwy_287 and snowlauncher Thank this. -
I don't know how many times I've had a customer tell me the $ value of a single piece of freight that I'm delivering....
Usually it's in the thousands or tens of thousands.
I'd rather not know, but I think it's safe to assume that just about everything I'm carrying is worth some bucks.Captain Mudsocks, x1Heavy, Texas_hwy_287 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Once I showed up at a customer with a large crate to deliver. I had no idea what the contents were until I hopped up into the trailer to move the crate back to the tail. As I was moving it, I noticed a large puncture hole in the side of the crate, probably caused by a forklift. I peeked inside and saw big game antlers... At that point my heart did jump a bit, worrying that an irreplaceable trophy had been damaged in shipping, and how the customer would react to it.
We got it down and opened the crate. It was a trophy bull elk mount, head and all. Turns out the customer had gone on an outfitted trophy game hunt out of state and paid thousands to take it.
Fortunately, there was no damage to the trophy, but I was a little scared at first. How do you do a freight claim on a priceless trophy that was taken during a once in a lifetime opportunity?

@FlaSwampRat this picture came in mind when you wrote about kicking someone in the chest for attempting to open your door.
