One pair of pregnant Pygmy Boa Constrictors...in the winter time had to keep the van at around 72 degrees...when I slept put the box on my tummy and a blanket over the 3 of us...*L*

Couple of different ones:

1. Entire staging setup for the Los Lonely Boys.. From Texas to Washington. Hauled guitars, amps, speakers, etc.

2. Lighting equipment for Madonna, Celine Dion and Flow Ridah.

3. Coils of wire for a power plant. Plymouth, MA to Arkansas

4. Gatorade Labels

5. Slot machines

6. Crop Duster engine

7.Jet engine loaded directly onto a aircraft carrier

8. Some sort of weapons loaded out of one armory to another..

I'm sure there is more, but I can't think right now.

Funnest was two 1200 lb bags of Fruit Loop Pelletts from Memphis To Larado

Movies to Fox

1 lb box of water treatment

Cat and Dog Food

Big skid of power cables to a football game in Jacksonville for Fox Sports

two boxes of staples

one 11 foot long brass rod

Not the strangest, but took a load of yearend reports to a bank. But got 4 hours wait time at the shipper due to waiting for the ink to dry....

Just a couple of weeks ago we hauled approx 13,000 lbs of frozen body parts. Yes indeed just about every body part you can think of. Freaked my wife out, especially when the frozen fingers would move around inside the box......what a hoot.

In Ann Arbor from one side of the hospital to the other

A wood door from Harrisburg, Pa to Nashville. The gentleman that it belonged to had grown up in the old house that it came out of. It had marks on it where his height was marked on as he grew up. He wanted to put it in his new home.

A very small fastener with an escort to boot - didn't have to pay any tolls for the turnpike or bridges, didn't even stop for the toll booths.

Worms for research.
