Hauling For NASA

I was thinking about some of the neat conversation about the companies and types of runs a driver gets when pulling for Concerts, Plays and other traveling stage events and it got me to thinking about other interesting industries and types of work that's out there off the beaten path.

Do any of you guys and gals know what carriers NASA likes to use for moving equipment and supplies around? Considering NASA is a very large and diverse organization with locations all over the country, I presume they have loads that would fall under all avenues of the different trucking specialties out there.... Dry Van , Reefer , Tanker, Flat Bed ... and of course there are perhaps many loads that could be high value and involve national security.

Have any of y'all done any pickups or deliveries at say Kennedy Space Center in Florida or the Johnson Space Center in Houston?

I think it would be a pretty cool conversation to be able to say you pulled a load that is now part of the International Space Station in orbit. That's a load that is quite literally "out of this world". lol :)

I don't know who or what he hauls. But a guy that lives a few miles from me hauls government loads. Most times he has no idea what he is hauling.

Doesn't know where the pickup is or where the drop is until the moment he sets in the seat. And there are times he has a "guide" along that just tells him which turns to take.

And, the real kicker. He is not allowed to talk to anyone about where he has been. Or if he knows what he has hauled, he can't talk about it.

But the pay. As an old saying goes. "Over the moon". He works on average about 6 months a years. He makes enough in that time to support his family for the whole year.

Keep it safe out here, the life you save might be your own. The Blue Angel.

Sounds like he must be hauling some pretty sensitive loads with such tight security on them that he is kept in the dark and is bound by an NDA on what little he does know.
