When I first started with Overnite in the summer of 1986,we were running around our down town city routes with them second story flat back Mack twin screws hauling 45 foot,102 wide dry vans.
Talk about a total nightmare.
We city slugs always inherited the line haul hand me downs,the ones with,the million miles plus on them.
Yes I know you all will say,they were just broke in.
I say more like they were duct tape specials,it didn't break my heart when those monsters were replaced by the (R) Models not that they were any prize,however a little better than the old flat backs.
I always had a laugh when the youngsters would whine about the newer stuff we were driving when UPS rebranded us,they really didn't know how good they had it.
