Umm.. why is it necessary to take the trailer there empty to bring something back? Logically the trailer gets emptied in NO anyway.

I hate moving bodies.  It feels creepy when you feel the bones grind while your moving them.  I remember one time I was loading a body on a plane when the bag busted and started leaking body fluid all over.  Three months later that same plane came back and I about lost it when I opened up the hatch because you could still smell the stench.

water in, bodies out - makes sense to me

get past the boogie woogie kiddy thoughts of "dead people"

as long as they are properly sealed to protect you and the truck from disease, why not?

I always seem to get more upset over a dead dog then a human, if I don't know the person.  But I've never had to move children and I think that would realy bother me.

Not to be callous but if you are going to help those in need you shouldn't be surprised about it. Getting bodies taken care of is a major concern there for health. It isn't a matter of want, they need to clear bodies so that disease doesn't take more lives.

for helping them.
