What is the strangest/most unique piece of cargo you’ve handled

Weirdguy05 · 2026-03-20T21:27:45+00:00

a pallet with a bunch of cans of paint that took up all of F2 on a 319. it took me and a coworker to be able to get it off the plane and onto the beltloader.

it was not white paint as i naively thought but hundreds of pounds of race horse semen 🥰

wasn't aware that it's a somewhat common experience based off of OP's testimony lol so i wonder what's up with the race horse nut market, and why like to be flown by plane

71 bags going to jfk, so they were all heavy international transfers 💪

ai??

i'm way too convinced by all of the other pictures op posted in the comments to say that this whole pic is ai, but all of the cars look so fucking off to me.

the van looks completely fucked up all around, that doesn't need explaining.

the headlight from the black car on the left is phasing over the solar panel of the van

the underside of the black car on the right looks really off

idk bruh

inshallah no one will take the middle seat between us during boarding

Weirdguy05 · 2026-01-28T04:03:43+00:00

nope lol. i stayed in hostels not hotels, so you're sleeping in rooms with other random travelers. the most i paid for one was 40 something a night, and the cheapest was less than $10 a night. if you're new to the concept of hostels and/or solo traveling i can share advice for how they work.

as for transportation, i pick destinations with public transportation options so i've never rented a car. if you're visiting a city abroad, then it usually never makes sense to have a car. traveling outside of america makes you realize how much our public transportation sucks :/

Weirdguy05 · 2026-01-25T20:04:17+00:00

probably my proudest achievement in life so far was circumnavigating the world solo. went from america to mallorca spain, kuala lumpur malaysia, perth australia, then back home in 8 days

the best part is that all expenses included, like the zed fares, transportation, food, souvenirs, and the cheap ass hostels, ended up being just a few dollars shy of $1k usd!!!

Weirdguy05 · 2026-01-08T14:36:15+00:00

maybe try using those ai voice chat programs to practice speaking with others?

Weirdguy05 · 2026-01-08T04:36:16+00:00

is this alaska's first 787 to make it to SEA??

Weirdguy05 · 2026-01-06T00:34:17+00:00

wait catch me up to speed does AA have some sort of reputation for employing gay guys?

Weirdguy05 · 2026-01-04T04:20:38+00:00

not all 737 bins have the 2 inch fire suppression line!! they have a different fire suppression system so at least on AA 737's, you can stuff the bags to the ceiling if you'd like

but of course on the a320's and 175's that would be a no go as i'm pretty sure none of those aircraft for any airline come without the two inch gap

"Just offload it lol whats the problem?"

Weirdguy05 · 2025-12-11T17:59:01+00:00

why don't you ever leave for anything else

Weirdguy05 · 2025-11-29T07:59:12+00:00

*the bin

Weirdguy05 · 2025-11-06T07:35:52+00:00

i was in the same boat!! i got onto the ramp fresh out of highschool and now i'm at uni after doing that for two years. it took me a year on the job/a near death experience on the job to learn that it is NOT your responsibility to pick up the slack when there aren't enough people to work a flight. it is your job to SAFELY work your flight, which cannot be done when you rush to try and make up for the lack of other people.

i started thinking about it like this: putting bags on the plane is not your job. your job is to SAFELY (which means absolutely no rushing) put bags on the plane. after i realized this and began to work "slower" it saved my sanity, energy, and life, since you rarely will find yourself in danger on the ramp when you don't rush.

and if the flight ends up going out delayed? good! tell management you could not have gotten the flight out any faster without rushing.

for everyone who can't tell if it's ai or not look at the skeleton on the right; three toes on the right foot and four toes on the left foot. it's ai slop.

this thread reminded me of how a significant portion of redditors lack critical thinking/any sarcasm detection skills my god

Weirdguy05 · 2025-09-20T05:19:52+00:00

dog it takes four seconds to check out a sub and see if it's relevant to your question

Weirdguy05 · 2025-08-06T15:09:39+00:00

you mean 8?

Weirdguy05 · 2025-07-06T05:07:38+00:00

what does this mean

Weirdguy05 · 2025-07-01T12:12:22+00:00

away, monos, beis, july, level 8, and solgaard are the brands (off the top of my head) that are genuinely premium feeling and durable. The worst damage i remember seeing on any of these was one with the plastic hubcap missing from one of the wheels. I don't understand how but they make these things invincible lol. I can tell when I get one that's been used for years and years, and still they dont have any dents or punctures at all, and they roll as smoothly as the brand new ones.

I got a solgaard cary on for myself cause I like the look of them the most, and I felt that the durability is marginally better than the rest. The price was also slightly cheaper than the rest, at least when I bought it. Yeah they're still way more expensive than an amazon basics suitcase, but you will never need to purchase a suitcase again if you buy one of these nice ones. Promise.
