    It is called a DP endorsement. For deceased person.:biggrin_25522:

    The worst thing about it, is all the dead weight you carry.

    Being an aggregate hauler myself, I have delivered grave fill dirt/mix to cemeteries before....little weird. What I hate the most is seeing the concrete boxes that the caskets go into, ESPECIALLY the ones that are only 2-3' long, you know what those are for. :biggrin_2557:
     
    Lilbit and HFC Thank this.

    Since it was a mixed load of chemicals, it could be that the reporter couldn't spell Formaldehyde...

    I had one driver call it Formagehyde, LOL....

    Sounds like the reporter was not near a computer with Spell Check at the time !

    Oops, the title in the subject heading should read "reporters who can't spell the name of a chemical" ... I can't type, too many typos and reporters can't spell. Sorry about that.

    One of the things on my bucket list is to dig some graves.....with a backhoe...might need some practice, so I figure just one would not be enough....

    ....also want to fly a crop duster plane and be a railroad engineer...

    I worked at Dick's Sporting Goods for a week helping to set up a new store, and plowed snow with a pickup for 2 shifts.....you could say I am shiftless, but my elbow gets sore from grinding gears. :biggrin_2554:

    When I was driving bulk tanker, I had to do a spread job in a cemetery... That day with the pump going, the dead did not sleep to well..

    I spent 5 years diggin graves. It was probably the best job I've ever had, but it dosen't pay too well. They have what they call "Costum Burial Chambers (CBC's)" The concrete vaults were all laid out, and then filled over. When you dig those graves, you spent most of the day shoveling to dig it. You couldn't go too deep with the backhoe, or you would end up cracking the lid of the vault. They were a pain in the ###. Always hated digging them. Luckily only a portion of the cemetary had them in it. but anyway.......truely an awesome job!!
