A Dead Dog.

One of my first jobs on my first day as a courier.

The vet apologized that they had run out of boxes, would I be OK with it in a garbage bag.

A cold, stiff, dead, doggy, in a garbage bag.

Had to carry it to the Car,
had to drive it across town,
had to carry it into the autopsy room of the Veterinary Dept of the University.

A dead dog!!!!

If we're voting, LOS' art load wins, no question - it doesn't get any stranger than that one.
[Though I really liked the frozen carrot, lol]
My strangest load was an aircraft nose cone.

2 skids of SPAM from a warehouse in the bay area of CA to a hotel in LA for a wedding reception.

Had to have been a Hawaiian wedding, who else would serve SPAM at a wedding?

Hmmm....

4-900# bags of taco meat seasoning

Optic assembly for James Webb space telescope

Some piece of satellite equipment hot off the shuttle

One skid of empty chewing gum wrappers

One cooler with two mason jars full of wastewater for testing

3 Books of Marriage Records for "Colored People" from the 1890's


Edit: Almost forgot - 3 barrels of Crown Royal Special Reserve. Never left the gate with that one (we can't haul alcohol), but man, did the truck smell good for days after that one. The barrels were leaking a tad.

When I first started in my trucking career I worked for Werner enterprise and I hauled a refer trailer with cadavers in it to UCLA for new medical examiners to study. Perhaps I should be an ME the work is always steady

A Spongebob Squarepants costume shipped from the National Aquarium in Baltimore to Disneyland. That was very strange on many levels.

Disaster drill training equipment. We had a full load of "dead bodies and body parts". We were hoping some DOT officer would ask us to open up the doors.
