What is the most valuble load you have moved ■■■■, Spirits,etc
This load was worth a bit. Its the Quarry Men who became The Beatles
20’ container loaded with coin blanks into Llantrisant (The Hole with the Mint!) years ago. No idea of the value though.
Also carried about £800,000 in a REM vehicle with the GPO (even more years ago).
I picked up waste carbon sludge in Greece it had silver in it and was worth so much the customer insured it ,I had to call in my locations like ferries and overnight stops.
My dad used to pick up Ugandan coins from the royal mint that had been stamped and bent ,25 tonne loads went for scrap to Sheffield .
Scotch Whisky. Grants bonded warehouse in the Gorbals, Glasgow, to Liverpool. On a flat in those days and had to rope and sheet outside, the men waiting at the entrance to the council yard opposite queuing up for casual labour scared me to death before I even set off with it.
two light aircraft nose cones fitted with computer/camera equipment , approx. £250 k each !! had done these a few times before and thought nothing of it , until I was having a crack with the guy sending them and he mentioned their value . I was driving much steadier after that . 
Caviar from Paris with armed ■■■■■■, £100,000 in 1979,
Mobile Cranes from Zweibrucken up to £800,000
Automatic seam welding machine from Frankfurt £500,000,
My boy Henry, Priceless !
My last job before I packed up driving was one delivering cigarettes out of Nottingham for a regular customer of ours most pallets were worth about £100k so a full load of 26 pallets was worth a lot mind you the security was immense and we never felt worried but one good thing about carrying ■■■■ was when you delivered to RDCs and cash and carrys you jumped the queue there was no waiting mind you some of the looks other drivers gave me when they thought I was jumping the queue used to make smile
Pharmaceuticals, Italy to China. 24 tons at a time. The value was written in Italian lira so it looked like the distance across the universe.

Used to do loads of booze out of Nurdin & Peacock in Didcot, 1 run was 26 palletts of Export Whiskey to a Bonded warehouse in Bootle, Liverpool. Dropped the trailer in Nurdin’s the night before & their shunter would load it, you went in early next morning & it was loaded/sealed ready to go, you had to go straight through with it. You had a book in time & they had you straight in (for some reason they didn’t want it parked out on the streets of Liverpool 
), When they tipped you they had a customs bloke standing by the fork-lift checking the numbers etc, & he walked alongside the forks all the way into the racking, watched him put it on the racking & walked back with him, this was done with every pallett/load every time I went there. What a distrusting society we live in 
in the 60s i carried kegs of raw tobacco from the bond in liverpool to players in nottingham . was only allowed to carry 3 kegs ( 30 cwt ) because of the value , had to assure the loaders that you were not parking up en route .
747 engine - £7.5 million
Just over £2.5 million in uncut diamonds !!!
Many years ago I worked for a motorbike dispatch co.
I did a run quite often on a Saturday from a big house in Golders Green to Leeds with a well sealed box, i found out what the “load” was the day I got a puncture and was nearly 2 hours late.
I was made to sit in the kitchen in the Leeds house and wait for ages whilst the box was taken away and its contents checked.
It was the last day we were used as we then knew what we were carrying!!! And having thought about it after I decided that at aged 19/20 i would have done a bunk abroad with the contents if I had known.
I think whisky in a tilt was the most risky but some of the edible oils and perfumes I carried in a tanker had some horrendous values on the invoices
I used to haul 24 Tonnes of Vodka From Louchers Lane Warrington up to Asdas at Washington the rate wasn’t that good either but it was a load & go job without stopping, Regards Larry.
The Sarge:
20’ container loaded with coin blanks into Llantrisant (The Hole with the Mint!) years ago. No idea of the value though.
Also carried about £800,000 in a REM vehicle with the GPO (even more years ago).
I did exactly the same load when I was pulling MAT containers, parked outside the house all weekend, when I got to Llantrisant on Monday morning, they were on strike, so I dropped it at the containerbase in Cardiff.
For me it was 2 x RB 211 marine engines this was in 79/80, I was told they were worth around £3,000,000.
Carried 9 x 6 liter Jaguar XJs’s down to Bloxham and back for Tom Wilkinshaw to doctor on many occasions worth over half a million
might i stop yall, i thought human life was more than whatevers in the back thats an answer i gave to a tm once it left him stumpd
A few loads out of a Place near Newbury, each load was worth Millions, all the usual escorts 
4 Pallets of Harry Potter books (something of the phoenix), the day of their release. One to each Makro we covered.
May not sound that expensive in Value, but I got to jump the queues at every Makro, and the pallet was on the shop floor, opened, and half sold before I had the paperwork signed. So it was valuable in it’s desire.
I suppose combined payload, I have rarely exceeded £50,000
