Empty trailers were the product...does that count?

Michael's lightest load so far was 2 pallets with a combined weight of 83 pounds taken from a Michael's (the craft store) DC in Tracy, CA to two stores in Salt Lake City. I joked that he should have taken is pickup.

A couple years ago I was all hooked up and heading the gate, my dispatcher called and said to pull up in front they forgot to put a shipment on the trailer.

It was 1 box of Keebler cookies, I was like "someone is paying a trucking company to move 1 box of cookies".

Dispatcher:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

I picked up 4 "hot" toilet tanks in Las Vegas and took them to Salt Lake City with a step deck once. Made me a little nervous not being able to see the load.

Also regularly go up to Pendleton or Ontario OR from SLC with half to a dozen stops in Idaho, one time the only thing I had left after Ontario was a single 20' long 2" diameter copper pipe bound for Portland.
