How about the load to NYC with the barrels of bungs? Seemed like they were anxious for them. Also remember a load of maggoty spam from FL to NYC and sold to the street vendors.

Somewhere I have a picture of you pushing a pallet jack in the back of my trailer with bungs and the NYC police watching. As I remember you drove as far as the Jersey line then you refused to drive any further. :moon:
Yeah, who can forget Steve's load of Maggot Spam with all the labels in spanish and as I remember the buyer was excited when Steve pulled in with it.
You might see odd loads on flatbeds but the strangest stuff travels inside reefers well out of the publics view.

Before I got my cdl I sold auto parts and equip. , one day the Buffalo office called and was in a real jam with a customer and needed a part that we had RIGHT NOW. So we put it in the back of one of the cube vans and sent a new guy on his way, he was in such a hurry trying to make a good impression that he left his cell in the charger. He had been gone about 20 min when another driver came in and said "who took my truck".... Yep the parts still sitting here in the truck we put it in! The kid got to Buff. and had nothing but air in the back. Oh well, he made good time getting there.

a load that was supposed to be on a flatbed. it was a load of steel coils inside of a dry van. it wasn't fun going through mountain passes along narrow highways. got to my destination without a problem, though.

How about a load of "SKINLESS HOTDOG SKINS"...
No, it's no joke. They cook the hogdogs in the skins, then cut them off. They're made of a type of paper. Picked them up in London, TN, but don't remember where I took them... Think it was Dubuque, IA...

What did you need the 53' trailer for? That load would fit in the glove box of my truck!!

Once had a load going to Pueblo, CO, was labeled as air conditioner parts on the bills. Got to the destination, which was a military base, of which no one informed me I was going to a military base. Get inside they direct me to the warehouse. Stop, MP breaks the seals, I open the doors, look in, and much to my surprise I didn't know air conditioner parts where shaped like missile war heads, that clearly where labeled: US Military. Sat in the waiting area in the warehouse, which happened to have nothing but war heads. I said to the MP, "Interesting looking air conditioner parts" and he just ignored me. And this is a true story.

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt.

Almost looks like it could be a "veteran" of "THE LONGEST DAY". Except it's not that kind of Sherman.
Hauled an AMC PACER once... Well, it looked like one, but they cut apart three cars to make it into a LIMO. That was a movie star too, but looking at the welding under it, I would not want to try to make it very far on the highway.
