Depends on if they are very well sealed. I can not stand the smell of a corpse. I had to deliver to a funeral home once and I walked in the front door and had to go right back out to keep from puking. The last place I worked our delivery doors faced a funeral home across the street and on monday mornings sometimes they would air their place out and you could smell it from 100 yards away.

And these I guess were regular old embalmed. I imagine those ones been floating around for the better part of the week smell to high heaven.

Only 327 miles? Sure, I'd do it, if its legal. Should pay pretty good, too.

I'd clean that sucker out real good with bleach afterwards, though.

Would I do it? Of course.

Am I glad you're doing it and not me? Of course.

I can't seem to get over the gitty, touch something dead it migth jump at you feeling...

It's gotten better since having to move euthanized dogs to the freezer for the crematory to pick up, but the dead limp weight is hard enough, I can't imagine stiffness, and grinding, and then the humans make noises when dead..

before you guys jump on JT just remember he's done more to help out than most of us. Driving to NO with water for free was an awsome deed man

About the bodies, I have to ask.....since it's for fema, will you be getting paid.

If yes I might be more inclined to drive dead bodies. Either way it helps but like somone said it's hard to get the stench out if the bags break.

ALso, would you have to do any of the loading/unloading or are you strictly drive only?

I think that odds are the trailer will be useless for any cargo that is going to be consumed after that. Hard to believe that the smell won't linger for the life of the trailer. You could haul metal stuff in it but you'd never be able to haul a load of food or clothingagain.

If it wasn't my trailer from which I derived my livelihood, yah, I'd do it. Of if they were going to give me a new trailer after this whole thing is finished.

But if my income depended on using that exact trailer in the future, I'd probably have to say no.

Im with Toad.

Those bodies have to be putrid by now.

Never mind. Everything I wanted to say sounded too ghoulish.

You have bigger cajones than me.

The smell and bacteria can easily be cleaned up with a special enzyme based cleaner that crime scene cleanup crews use to cleanup after homicides/suicides.

And yes I would do it.
