Me and some friends ran special forces all the way to 4/4 after loosing a tengu and a ishtarUgh we finally managed to break the tank of the overseer unfourtunitly 0 drops not even overseer effects.. strange..but even stranger was that just before we killed the overseer a random npc hualer with a strange name warped into the plex, we thought that we would finish of the overseer then take care of the hauler but by the time we finished with the overseer the hauler had warped off. Has anyone seen this hauler/convoy type npc warp into their escalation before and if you have killed him what type of loot does he drop, thanks.

So you're saying a strange NPC Hauler warps in on grid when the Overseer is going down, then warps out just before the Overseer dies which didn't drop any loot.

The strange NPC Hauler probably had the Faction loot.

EDIT :

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Special_Forces

That page doesn't mention anything about a strange NPC Hauler, although that page does need to be updated with more info.

Maybe next time when you run that expedition, you could take notes and then edit that page with current up to date info.

It's not really strange when the end of an expedition doesn't yield anything - a pity yes, but it can happen. Overseer effects only come from DED sites (disregarding the special cases like serpentis/angel pseudo ded 6) and faction or deadspace items are not guarateed.

There is something you can do when the final 'boss' is a ship, but i am gonna leave it to you to find out. Both because i know there are people that still think it's a little secret and because i personally think it borders on exploiting game mechanics.
