My personal best was 6000lbs of Laffy Taffy in 300lb bricks that had to cross half the USA overnight.

What kind of emergency requires taffy?

As they say, If you get paid to haul it, who cares why?

2 pallets of crackers to sams club from raleigh to little rock, I was one of 6 trucks going all over with CRACKERS!!!

I hauled some kind of munchies from a WalMart or Sams Club. It seems that this stuff goes to some sort of "market", where the area managers or buyers would pig out on this stuff and then decide what stuff they wanted to carry in their stores. At least that what I was told.

RIGHT OF WAY example..
6/21/07

Several firefighters were injured in two separate crashes on yesterday afternoon while responding to previous crashes in Texas. The crash occurred when a fire crew of the Sandy Oak Fire Department responded to the scene of a previous crash in Southern Bexar County. An 18-wheeler somehow lost control and slammed into the fire truck at the intersection of Highway 281 and Mogford Road. The impact of the collision spun the fire apparatus around 180 degrees and spilled fire hoses out onto the highway. EMS sent a 49-year-old firefighter to University Hospital and a 30-year-old firefighter to Methodist Hospital. The 59-year-old driver of the big rig was taken to Southeast Baptist Hospital. There is no word on their conditions.

we hauled the prototype for fedex and the gov. manpass project. they would not even speculate a value. northrop grumman had a team of 21 people working on this 24 hours a day almost 365 for 3yrs. it was a pod that hung on the belly of fdx overseas cargo planes that would jamm surface to air missles. they also hoped to use this on domestic overseas flights . saw a release on abc news about this a few months ago. del. this to mojave airport to fedex and mojave test associates {testing contractors for the gov.}. pulled on the tarmak along side a 727 fedex revamped out of the decomisioned stock that mojave keeps there. if you have ever noticed all the planes on your right when you are on 58 going past mojave thats the place. anyway lots of fedex poeple around, would not unload till the execs showed up {2 leer jets full of them} then after all the introductions, {all very nice and helpfull people} they asked where their pod was we thought it was here at 9am this morning, we replied it is and pointed at our conway now truck. they then asked the question of why a fedex involved project was on a conway trk instead of a fedex trk which my witty wife spoke up and said when it absolutely positively has to be there over night. we all got a good laugh, they unloaded us treated us very well and were just as gratefull as if their own trk would have del. it. as i restate, really great bunch. initially very odd though.

my first owner i drove was telling me how he got a run going i think from delaware dowm to st pete fl
it was some type of prototype druugs and the run he said i think was like almost 10 grand and it had to be temp controlled an at that time his reefer was on the blink wouldnt cool down past 68
so he turned on his bunk a/c and cranked it all the way up and kept it in his bunk (which the box was like 3 pounds)

and when i was driving for bruno me and his brother got a nice one going minn min to socorro nm it was 4 foot high dummy rounds for a really huge gun
funny thing was when we left the pick-up where told the color of the day to get out
think it was passion pink or something like that

Goofy load I had one time while running for EGL was a full truck loaded front to rear top to bottom. Weight was around 1500 lbs. of empty toilet paper rolls. They were a new thing, they were trying out sented ones. Not liking the smell of perfume, I thought they stunk almost as bad as used toilet paper.
