I hauled 3 pallets weighing a total of 300 lbs from Laredo, Tx to Louisville, Ky. Nothing but Saturn gauge clusters. Shipping dude took photos and had to watch my put the big meaty plastic tag on the trailer doors. He then took a pic of the tag.

I haul a manual road stripe machine(it was pushable, looked like an oversize lawnmower) on an RGN from Atlanta, Ga. to Fontana, Ca. back 1997. The thing only weighed abt 300lbs.

Never had any load I considered truly weird, although my teenaged daughter seemed to find it hilarious to know her ol' dad was dragging around 35,000 lbs of tampons one night.

Kids.. go figure!

Talking

While driving for Freymiller, I loaded at a place that made products for Johnson & Johnson...It was a nipple factory.


Running team For DTI the codriver loaded, scaled us out at 80K. This was about the first time I experienced a "full" load. When I opened the doors to back in, the trailer was EMPTY, except for a row of pallets blocked in. The load was tin cans, before they became cans.

There have been quite a few, but one that stands out in my mind......(and elsewhere) :lol:

15,000 lbs of viagra. This was back when it first came out. That load was worth some big bucks.

If only the ladies knew what I was carrying
