hush, hush load

Recently we had a load, picking up a trailer full of computers at Dell and taking them to DHL to be shipped out to their customers, even in this day and age this was a very hijackable load. There was extremely tight security going into Dell to pick them up, we were only taking them 200 miles to DHL. We had quite a few specific instructions to follow, before we picked up the load we had to fuel before going to Dell, once the computers were loaded Gary had to sign many, many documents. All with specific instructions, like once we were on the highway we could not stop for any reason, Gary had to take specific roads that Dell gave him to follow, we could not talk on our cell phones about what was in the trailer, plus here's the kicker, when we left the Dell lot there was a car following us to our destination. And the stupid part about the whole thing with the tighter security and specific instructions we had to follow, once we got to DHL, they popped the seal on the trailer, opened the doors and had us drop the trailer at the back of the building and drive away, it was completely unattended? We figured that we had done our part and it was outta our hands by then.
