J & R Xpress Couriers is happy to pick up and deliver anything. From documents to auto parts to machine goods to tires to pallets of plastics to steel pipe. However, even with this being the normal practice, occasionally something comes up that makes us wonder...
We received a Hot Shot order to take some containers to an oil field in another state. The plan was to drop off the containers and then to pick them up a few days later after they were filled up with rock samples. When we got the call to make the return trip, we received instructions that an armed guard would accompany our truck back to Utah. When our driver arrived at the designated pick up location, he was met by the armed guard, along with two black SUV's full of armed security men. He was instructed to follow one SUV with the other to trail him. On the way back to Utah he was told to follow the first SUV in a detour off the freeway. They drove for almost 45 minutes in what appeared to be an effort to elude any possible followers. In the end, they arrived back in Salt Lake City without further incident.
Those must be some very valuable rocks...
