    Most epic load I've hauled... Full trailer like 21 pallets of the #1 fingers for baseball games weighed like 2500lbs

    A load,I've hauled that was the most memrobale I brought the new penny's into California two full trailers of 45klbs of them from Colorado to the underground San Francisco reserve bank equaled around 500,000$ worth of pennies. My cousin brought around 800k of the new nickels a week later. So cool to know that.

    Noticed little orange trees in half quart size containers being sold at a TA in Florida, I just knew they were shipped in from California. There is no such thing as weird.. anymore

    Hopefully you charged them for a trailer load.

    Hi dca, got that right. Like buying milk in Wisconsin that was from California ( California surpassed Wis. in milk production a few years ago) I don't remember any really weird loads, hauled a load of "copper chops" in palletainers once to a recycling center. 22 pallets 44,000 lbs.) of these boxes of copper "dots" that must have came from a punch press something. I'm sure that was worth some bucks, and a load of lead ingots once. 7 small bundles (2x2x2). In a 45 footer, ( I know, that dates me) 4 in the front, big space, 3 on the tail. (I had to nail a 2x4 in front of the ones on the back) I said, um, that's it? The forklift guy said, well, you have 44,000 there. Who would have thought lead was so heavy?
