Ever have a load make you feel sick? I think this one might have done something to me. It was a front axle for a school bus, with a strong odor of grease from the ball joints. Add that to a questionable meal, and yesterday I felt like 40 miles of bad road. Now I feel better without the load in the van, so who knows?

Yes. Hot machine oil on parts that had not been out of the soup long enough. Windows down a bit for a few hundred miles helped.

Worse. A good deal worse. You haven't been to load-Hell until you've transported several boxes of chicken packed in ice. Picked it up at a packing plant that smelled so bad flies would refuse to go in there, and the bloody watery mess it left behind made the van smell terrible for weeks afterwards.

Man-- that was a decade ago at least, two vehicles since then and I can still remember that incredible smell.

Today--- I'm at home, probably won't go anywhere until late tomorrow at the earliest-- with a load that won't be anywhere near as objectionable.

That gets my vote for putting some Vicks under the nose, - grooooooosss!
Even worse than Moot's famous "cheesy" load, lol. ;)
