    Future anthropologists will definitely have an easier time disseminating what period a mummy or skeletal remains are from. Apart from an old cellphone found near the bones(kind of like older bones with either rusted belt buckles or weapons nearby), trace amounts of plastic in the bone cavities will draw the conclusion of; "yep. late 20th to late 21st century. Sure glad we went back to strict metal mined from the asteroids!!" **eerie glow in future humans eyes from mass radiation poisoning from consumer space metal**

    if a load of fresh chicken can be left on a dock over the weekend in 90 degree weather im sure the same boondoggle can happen with cadavers.

    I see human remain shipments at the Cargo warehouses at the airlines all the time. Funeral homes pick them up usually.

    Time flies, I had stated that I had hauled them not to long ago turns out to be in December 2001. Seems like a short time. And the load back to the NY was produce out of Salinas....

    Stevens did a high priority load of cadavers. Not sure the reason. But you can't use the trailer for food afterwards. It has to be destroyed. But they include that in the cost.

    They used an old trailer that would have been put up for sale.
