We,almost never saw those telephone booths east of the Mississippi.
 
Don't forget that 318 and Oh yeah weren't they governed @55 .

These had the 318 Detroit V8, they ran about 73 when I went to work for them, all Stewart Warner gauges, the only plastic in the cab was the dome light cover. Handled like they were on rails.

These had the Mack engine, Econodyne I think, they were governed somewhere between 55-60.

These had Detroit 6V-92 engines.

I must have been traveling the wrong direction, never saw a Big R that didn't run faster than 55!
I'm sure the Hendrickson suspension was made to torture drivers, we never ran them, thank goodness
 
Good thing you don't work for Saia.
Actually, the steering wheel, on the Saia Volvos, is designed just right to park your Dr Pepper can on the bottom cutout. You can make a left or right turn and that can will sit still. Even an order of French fries, in a cardboard case, will sit upright. Put some ketchup on them, turn up the oldies but goodies, and cruise on down the road. Good stuff late at night.:1036316054:

Are you pulling my leg?
From what I hear, if you are caught eating, drinking, using phone, picking your nose, etc. they cut off your hand.
I better check with Train on this, they need to get a camera in your truck.
 
Looks like UPS and a fleet of F models.They also had Diamond Reos out of Chicago and they ran those 1963 reos right up to the early 80ds

1972 NJ. Had a couple of Diamond-Reo's and even an Emeryville besides the mostly F model Macks back then.
