And then there was the chickens, well not chickens yet..eggs from Canada....delivered to the U of NC farm research...
I asked...so what are the eggs for?....he said well they are for Ovarian cancer research....because the chickens reproductive system is the closest to a womans( LOL explains a few things right there) and chickens ovulate every day the research goes quicker...

which changes up the old question.....who came first, the chicken or human female? LOL

The set to seaquest from universal studios Hollywood to Universal Studios Florida 14 years ago or so.

What it looked like on TV wasn't what the set looked like, set was all plastic and wood. even the paint didn't look good but it did on TV.

Got to meet the head of Universal Orlando when I delivered, cool guy gave me passes for a later date.

One of the transformers for the Harry Potter Village at Universal Studios. Not a Potter fan but we did get a behind the scenes tour of the village before it was open to the public.

One of the strangest was a dentap chair from Ohio to New Orleans convention center for a dental convention.

Next would be the nda " I'm guessing, non disclosure agreement " load we did so mi. Deep into the China lake facility.

I also did one of those! I asked the guide, "What if I run outta fuel way back here?" ... He said, "We have lot's of diesel fuel."

I was never allowed to see, or know, what was on the truck.

I think the "neatest" thing I hauled was a particle accelerator from the SUNY facility out on Long Island to the Fermi Lab near Chicago. While loading a fella that looked like Ludwig Von Duck (from the cartoons), approached the truck and asked if I was taking his baby?

I told him I was and asked if he had cleared the insurance with Roberts as it was valued much more than a million dollars.

His response? "No insurance, this is one of a kind, it is not replaceable I have spent 20 years on development and construction. If you damage it, just commit sucide!"

That got me puzzled, and I called Roberts, they assured me there was no libality on their part, or mine, DOD had this baby covered!

Delivered it unscratched, and as said above .. moved on.

One other, ...

I deliverd a material witness from Phoenix, Az back to West Virginia.

Some sort of minimg control panel that maintained the air inside the mine. It was "summoned" to appear in court in Az because of a mining accident out there using the same type control panel.

I had to park in front of the Federal Courthouse to load. The parking cop was going to have me towed from the no parking zone, I took the citation upstairs to the Judge, who sent down a Federal Marshal, (they are bailiffs in federal courts, not a trucker's story), to secure my truck from the tow truck!

Kinda cool...kinda funny. I picked up a load of stage equipment to be delivered just outside of L'ville. I didnt really pay much attention to the consignee until our safety manager called. It was a nice weekend load.

So Mark, the safety mgr calls on Friday and I answer the phone, he says "is this Kenny?".... yep....he started calling me names?? Im thinking..." wow, musta really made a mess out of my logs this time"

Then he says " your delivering to Valhalla?"....ummmm (looking at my delivery info)..."yep". He says "to the Ryder Cup?"...I say "yep, guess so" :D. Turns out I was delivering the video equipment for the media center to be used during the tournament. Mark was obviously a golfer (I'm not) and apparently he was jealous :D

Sooo, when I called in my POD on the following Monday, I gave the info to the dispatcher, then asked for the safety man. I started out with telling him that dispatch was busy so they transferred me to him for the POD. He stutters around and finally gets ready to take the consignee signature. I say "well...man, I barely can read it...wow...well, it's Jack....(pause) Nick..Nick..Nicklaus...that's it, Jack Nicklaus...says he's a golfer" :D

Long pause...then he realized he'd been had...then, he called me more bad names. :D

I forgot about this one.
A whole truck load of dead and wounded dummies used for triage training at disaster scenes.
At every weigh station I was hoping that some DOT cop would want to do a freight securement inspection.
My freight was listed as training tools.
