What you refuse to haul

Empty five gallon pails. Not shrink wrapped or banded. You couldn't nest them because they had tops.

Animal hides of any kind.

Dead animals of any kind. We were asked to haul dead horses to the slaughter house.

Crushed cars or bales of scrap metal

Bales of cloth. Bales of wool. Bales of hay. Bales of rice straw.

Fifty pound paper sacks of paint pigment. They move around and the sacks break.

Bins of fish in salt slurry. They leak. The rust goes on forever.

Brined cherries in bins. The tops of the bins always leak.

We've hauled every one of these items at one time or another. Some of them we only hauled once. We're in a position where we don't have to any more. Call us and we'll refer you to one of our competitors.
Everybody is much happier...drivers, mechanics, the kids that wash the trucks on weekends, DOT, motorists, scale cops etc etc.

 

Styrofoam insulation. I get worse fuel mileage hauling it at 8,000 lbs than I do hauling 50k of rock.

 

Well, as a student of @TripleSix there is NOTHING I won’t haul.

I agree with everything in this list having a premium (real or imaginary depending on the lane), except for large bales of hay. Not my favorite thing to haul but I do it often.

Anything posted by “Scrapngo” or going to or from a scrap yard is double my rate plus the cost of a new steer tire.

First question is “is it tarped?”
Second is “legal dementions?”
third is (scrap or scrap yard?” (not everything going to or from a scrap yard is scrap)


Onions suck but I’m guessing I haven’t hauled my last load of them?

 

If you had a dispatcher, id cut my straps 2' shorter and then tell him it was impossible to haul insulation, cause then the straps wont reach the winches

 

Scrap metal is about all I haven't hauled yet, that crap is hard on a deck so hopefully manage to stay away from it. I'd rather haul oversized, 12 or so foot wide is about the widest I've hauled, than tarp something. I actually spent 3 weeks hauling oversized precast semi locally for a parking garage, didn't mind it much at all.

 

Green Cowhides.

 

Give me them onions, if they're at last years rates. Couldn't figure why everyone hated em

 

what’s not to love about elevators? Between All the sharp points and spending all day at the job site, I just can’t chose what is my favorite part.

 

Leave it behind boys!
Let us with the big hammers drag it where it's going.. Lmao
I also love trying to peel the clear tape off my smoke tarp they insist on wrapping it with..

 

Did a load like that before. Trailer looked like a yard sale. Every piece of securement was used,- and I kept allot. It was out of hand. All the loose odds and ends that should been crated.
