    I think so, but I think the U wasn't as heavy built as the DM. Maybe more of a linehaul application truck?

    Hence the fiberglass hood and trying to lighten it up possibly

    Beaverdam, OH... Did the "drop" portion of a drop and hook a few hours ago in Lima.... Now have to wait until morning to get an empty trailer. So personal conveyance 15 miles bobtail to a decent truck stop with a shower was absolutely called for in this situation.

    As I recall, there were way more U's in Freight Ops than in Dump Ops

    Also, weren't the DM's Double Framed?

    Of course. The hood was shorter, so you were closer to it.
