    I often get a 4x4 or two nailed to the deck.

    I picked up a load of cased iris tubers (bulbs) for a Grand Rapids MI greenhouse one year. The owner gave me a tour of the plant and grounds while I was being loaded. After which he gave me a whole crate (apple box) full of a large variety of iris'. Some of them were being sold in the catalog at over $150 each.

    When I was pulling a reefer I got all kinds of stuff. Candy, frozen pizzas, cases of soup. I ended up having a whole pallet of paper towels refused once. Several cases of aluminum foil. 12 cases of 60 watt light bulbs. I still have some of those. Last fall I ended up with a pallet of tomato juice. Cases of clorox. Years ago when I was a company driver I had Sams club refuse a TV because the box was damaged. I called the claims dept at the company and they told me they would get back to me on what to do with it. That #### thing sat in my truck for almost a month. I finally dropped it off at the terminal in West Memphis. It ended up in the drivers lounge.

    I used to get one of those at least once a day! Too bad I never kept a pair of garden shears on my truck, I could've started a collection!:biggrin_2559:

    Wasn't a shipper but some nice fella left me a powered subwoofer at the fuel island. I suspect it's out of a volvo and from the rattling inside, the amp must have died. I guess he didn't want to take it to the dumpster and it wouldn't fit in the trash can so he just left it on top of one of the concrete pillars there. Nothing wrong with the box or woofer so I'm taking it back to the house to do some repair work and have me a little thumpity thump in here.
