These were our first 9000s
The RPX box wonder the trailer was to compete with UPS
They could swap it out in about 30 min.
Charl to Atl each day at noon, regardless loaded or empty.
They dropped and ran over a few, it lasted about a year and hauled very few parcels.
We only ran Budds.

Company I worked for as a teenager bought a few of these B 67 Macks from Hemingway, got lots of miles out of them. The gold radiator shell and bumper was for their 50th anniversary.

Really? I thought Dayton wheels were the choice on the east coast.

These were more common than UPS trucks when I was a kid. Railway Express.
Almost every decent sized RR passenger station had them around. The passenger trains usually had Railway Express cars behind the locomotive and before the passenger cars.

Worked casual at Pilot Carlstadt both P&D and road. Very first time pulling doubles was at Pilot. Running a Baltimore turn out of Carlstadt, I was sent to Philadelphia on the return trip and was dispatched from there back to Carlstadt with a set. Knew how to hook them from my occasional switcher days at PIE, my seniority job, but never pulled them on the road. No one asked if I had pulled doubles before or checked me out. Extra careful driving for sure on that last leg.

Just think of all the places you couldn't fit with that thing.
UPS had a few Diamond Reo cabover tractors at Secaucus back in early 1970's. Drove them a number of times. They and the Ford CL9000/CLT9000 cabovers at Maislin years later were two of the highest/tallest tractors I believe.
Not for Ryder.
