				the volume of tourists, weather conditions, or dates of local celebration.
				Employments in this classification include, but are not limited to,
				drivers/engineers, guides, lecturers, hostesses, and maintenance personnel.
				Ticket sellers may be reported separately in classification 4904 provided that
				they do not handle baggage and that the conditions of the standard exception
				general reporting rules have been met. On-board food service personnel may be
				reported separately in classification 3905 as long as their duties are limited
				to food service and they do not facilitate the train ride or train ride
				operation in any way.

				services for others. The duties include driving ahead of, or behind, various
				types of vehicles.
This classification excludes employees of an employer assigned
				to drive escort or pilot cars in connection with the delivery of equipment,
				buildings, goods, or similar items which the employer sells or contracts to
				deliver. Such employment is reported separately in the classification
				applicable to sales or delivery of such items. For example, an escort driver
				employed by a common carrier transporting a modular home to a customer's site
				is reported separately in classification 1102.
1404-12 Cabulance and paratransit
Applies exclusively to establishments that provide on-demand,
				nonemergency transportation services to passengers with special needs. Vehicles
				used are usually vans that are equipped for accessibility to accommodate
				passengers with mobility limitations including passengers in wheelchairs or
				gurneys. Work contemplated by this classification includes, but is not limited
				to, operation of the vehicle, assisting passengers in and out of the vehicle,
				and maintenance/repair of the vehicle when performed by employees of an
				employer subject to this classification.

				classification
is not to be
assigned when provided as an
				incidental part of a taxi cab service subject to classification 1401. A
				cab-ulance service as defined in this rule will need a specialized van or bus
				to transport passengers as opposed to a passenger automobile that is not
				equipped to accommodate special mobility needs. The transportation service must
				be prearranged.
