Interesting Loads

We had picked up a 4400lb tank of a special liquid and delivered it straight through to an unnamed paper plant located in the south arriving about 02:00.

I was told that the entire facility was waiting for this shipment and that had we not made it on time, the plant would have had to shut down and send hundreds of workers home. This would have been a disaster due to the plant already being behind on its shipments and tens of thousands of Americans desperately waiting for this product.

I ask what the tank contained while standing on the dock when we got unloaded.

As it turns out, we delivered a special glue. This glue is what makes it possible to roll toilet tissue on a cardboard roll.

Had we not made this critical shipment, the economic collapse just may have been sooner and much more profound than what we have seen since.

Our work is very important. Let's not forget this.

We hauled 10 airplane toilets from San Antonio Tx to Florida. Truck loaded from front to back with toilets. Couple days later we picked up a load in Charlotte NC 13 skids of toilet brushes. :D
