The only high risk areas are where you start, and where you finish, because those are known positions. Everything else can be variable....and nobody is any the wiser, because the only thing that's really different is that the trucks have zero DOT/MC numbers on the side and they have GSA plates on the truck/trailer....and I highly doubt that they stop at Weigh stations along the way. :)

- AnimalMuppet 5y agoBack in the 1940s or 50s, they were trucking an atomic bomb casing (no nuclear material, just the case, but that was still highly classified) between Sandia and Holloman Air Force Base. This was in a standard army truck, not a semi. In downtown Albuquerque, they got in a collision, and the tailgate fell down, and the bomb casing fell out in the road. I don't think it was their own guy who hit them, though...
- chasd00 5y agoMy stepdad told me a story years ago about a nuke getting left on the tarmac when he was stationed in Korea. Apparently they thought it was a practice bomb but it was an actual live warhead. I don’t remember the details except “it was a big deal and we all got in a lot of trouble”.
