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 80dsMostly 5 speed Maxidyne's with a few older Uni-shifts back in the early 1970's.
Don't forget that 318 and Oh yeah weren't they governed @55 .
I think the single axle,jiffable version had the Mack engine, Super....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.

“Jiffable,” explain that to your great grand children. They’ll know you’re crazy, for sure!I think the single axle,jiffable version had the Mack engine, Super....
I could jiff (or unjiff ) a Roadway tractor without getting any grease on me ( other then my gloves), after years of trial and error.“Jiffable,” explain that to your great grand children. They’ll know you’re crazy, for sure!

Speaking of those grandkids, I'm gonna charge you another -15% if you leave them at the Coop again like you did last weekend. They ran Donna ragged....My grandkids already know I am 15 percent short.....

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.Good thing you don't work for Saia.
