Curious, Anyone got to pull a really awesome load? Like I saw someone pulling an Army Tank on a flat bed. That was pretty cool. Or the over sized cranes that some of thoughs people haul. Or even this one guy had like 30 wheels going through nevada emtpy flat bed but sure long could you picture trying to turn in that? lol.

 

50,000 lbs of human poop.




Oh wait - you wanted cool loads, not stinky loads.




My bad.

 

I have hauled almost anything that you can imagine that has tires. I hauled one load of vintage cars that was valued at over 11 million. That was cool.

 

Beer, Budweiser to be exact. 53 feet and 43,000 lbs. of beer. If that's not a good load, I don't know what is...

jet engine to an F/18 fighter, if I could have got it lit, I could have passed those darn cluck trucks

 

Got to haul a load of postage stamps once. Only had 8 pallets on the trailer but load was worth a few million. By the way I had car follow me all the way to my destination.

Also, took a load of equipment for the Army to Fort Irwin in California about a year ago. It came from Virginia and they called me every six hours from the time I picked up the load. When I arrived at the base there way a plane waiting for me. I backed up to the plane on the runway, they off loaded the equipment and off to Iraq it went. Pretty awsome.

 

12 sidewinder missiles (not armed of course) with the heat sensor's/tracking thingy installed in the nose.... It was for a contractor out of Luke AFB here in Phoenix...

The guy showed me how they calibrate the heat sensors.. really awesome stuff... I had to drive to a building on a road that was litteraly 30 feet from taxi-ing F16's... cool stuff!

We also take wheel blanks to Bourget's here in Phoenix too... now THAT is a cool operation.

 

Wouldn't a cool load require a reefer? :wink:

 

I pulled a van with a brand new custom T.V. newsroom set for a New Orleans TV Station in it. It was from a company in NC. The load was screwed into the floor and braced like crazy. When I got in downtown New Orleans in the middle of the night it was really a snap to get into the fenced yard. When I got unloaded ( I helped and even got on the news that day and fed free pizza) I couldn't get of out of the lot! There were cars parked on both sides of the street and there was just no way to get out of the gates and onto the street. I had to sit there in the parking lot until the evening when everyone finally started moving their cars. It did give me a chance to goof off in N.O. for the rest of the day though

 

Biggest thing I ever pulled, from Denton Tx. to Fairbanks Ak.
