Damn, If you got caught in a flood your trailer would be dry as a whistle.

Still, I got you beat- used sex toys (vibrators/dildos/ect) when I was in HHG.

How about 35K of "SEDATIVE". Medical supplies... To a very small town up in Canada with the name of CHURCHILL... For the POLAR BEARS that wonder into town uninvited... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or maybe a load of HAZMAT. Phosphorus tri-chloride... This stuff is REALLY BAD NEWS. A small spill means a FIVE-MILE EVACUATION AREA DOWN WIND, and it MUST BE REMOVED. It can not simply be washed away. The stuff is so bad, they make you watch a 20-minute video on just how dangerous it is before you are allowed to leave the shipper. Picked it up north of Philadelphia, and took it to NC. Asked the customer what they use it for... THEY MIX IT WITH ANIMAL FAT AND A FEW OTHER INGREDIENTS, AND SELL IT TO HELENE CURTIS FOR MOISTURIZER FOR MAKE-UP Now, picture all those women lining up at Wal-Mart, and how many other places, at the cosmetics counter to be able to put this stuff on their faces.

Sometimes it's not the load, but where it's going that makes you go hmm.

I once hauled a load of beer, INTO Milwaukee.

Hauled a load of lawnmowers to Tucson once, and didn't see a single lawn in town (unless you count decorative rock, but I don't think that needs mowing.)

I've hauled many loads of oranges from California to Florida.

Once hauled apples from Wisconsin to Washington

I once hauled a load of salt from Kenosha, WI to a Chicago suburb. As soon as I got to the shipper, they swapped paperwork with me and I took the entire load to Madison, WI. The funny part was that the place I took it to in Chicago was owned by the place I picked it up at in Kenosha. Now that's some quality dispatching right there.

I was dispatched to pickup a load of cardboard boxes in Lima, OH that was going to Aberdeen, MD. The load consisted of 2 pallets, maybe 1/2 full. I could've put the entire load on the top bunk of my sleeper.

I have had plenty of loads to make me cuss though. The first one (and most memorable) was a load of beer to some tiny town in north-central PA. When I opened the doors on the trailer, one of the pallets of kegs had came apart and I was greeted by a full keg of beer that landed on my foot. How it didn't break it is beyond me.

Meh, probably not, unless they really liked your makeup or pants.


It's a sad statement on a subculture when the best way to get into a girls pants is to wear girls pants.*
