    UPS used Diamond Reo cabovers in the 70s. I remember, when the new Astros came out, many kept the DRs for a while. It was one of the few trucks that the name wasn't removed, a UPS custom at the time.

    That and you're also low to the ground, so you can have one hand free to pick the marijuana in the field

    How the heck can you jog inside your truck? In all seriousness, forget jogging and start jumping rope. You will lose fat faster and save your knees and hips.

    You can jog in place but who said I jog inside the truck? I half jog half walk. I've been doing it for quite a while and have no issues. Jogging for an hour burns quite a bit of fat. And I get to see the countryside and get away from the rat race for a while. I've also found over 30 dollars in bills on the ground in the last 6 months. Wouldn't have found anything jumping rope.

    I'd slow down in that area where I found the money. Slower speed, closer look... Higher yield.

    Story goes of the first CO Mack's Aker's put in service in the Carolinas. Team left out, senior man had some exp with CO' and drove out. Buddy got in sleeper and proceeded to extol how comfy, he'd just snatch a few zzzzz's.
    To sleep he went, old hand pulled gently down to a rest area with a very fine overlook view. Idled up to the edge head on, eased out of the cab and proceeded to short gently stroke the cab jack. Described as compelling when the buddy woke up; seemingly in motion, going over the abyss.
    What men will do to friends in fun...
