    What is the strangest load that you did as an expediter?

    1999,picked up a 5 gallon pail of radio active dirt,and took it from West Mifflin Pa to nuclear plant in south FL,but what was really strange,it had to be temperature assured,and at the time,I had one of the few reefers with a recorder.
