I had the dubious honor of rolling servers on office chairs and hundreds of drives from an EMC box in a sterilite to get it upstate to a satellite office.
There was about $5M of gear in my wife’s grossly overloaded minivan. The bean counters tried to deny my mileage because I was using a personal vehicle without prior auth. lol. My boss was ready to kill.
Not fun but educational.
