Sailboat fuel.

Stick out tongue

Doesn't that usually travel in MT's being returned to the home road?

It's a non-revenue commodity and generally created in its heated form in Board Rooms in mass quantities.

Whats the lightest product shipped by full car load? I'd guess it would not be helium, feathers, bubble wrap or packing peanuts,,, but I could be wrong.
