Strangest Load Hauled
 

Ok, we've all heard the "backed under a mountain and had to stay in the truck secret military base load" story so please keep this factual.

I once hauled an empty, 3 x 8ft plywood box on a flatbed from LA to Salt Lake City. It was the only thing on the trailer. They really, really wanted their box back I guess.

would this count...?

In the mid 1990s, I hauled the Hippie Memorial that has since been re-installed in Arcola, IL. The junk art object consisted of car body parts welded to frames similar to farm gates, and originally erected on a fence owned by Bob Moomaw, the "artist". His property was sold and the Memorial had to be moved elsewhere. My co-worker, Gus Kelsey, was a friend of Moomaw's. (These people can be verified by searching "Hippie Memorial")
Kelsey asked me to save the Memorial by hauling it from Arcola to Benton Harbor with a load of Budweiser that I picked up in St. Louis. Years later, Kelsey convinced Arcola to honor hippies and Moomaw by making a real tourist attraction, but I am not certain that the original pieces made it back home.

A load of dinosaur fossils, from a museum in Ohio to a museum in WI. PITA to secure in the trailer, and priceless.

A super secret hazmat load of ping-pong balls..... I would post photos, but I have been sworn to secrecy.

Well, that and it's at the bottom of a lake somewhere. Stop trying to gloss over the facts and stick with the truth. You can't take pictures because you don't have an underwater camera. Geez.

I once hauled a full load of intelligent dispatchers and honest recruiters from Chicago to Atlanta packed into a 53' van. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hauled a single 5 gallon bucket of drugs (cocaine, mescaline, marijuana, LSD, methamphetamines, ketamine, etc., etc., etc.) back to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth from out facility in Houston.

Seems someone included some stuff from TCU's drug research lab in a Lab Pack shipment that came to our facility.

I was assure it was "probably legal" and that the company would "back me up" if something were to happen.

Yup.

-p.

I call BS - there's no way there're enough of those to fill a 53'van!

There's likely not enough to fill a 7 passenger van!
