Oh yes. I drove one that didn't even have reverse lights. Those were nasty little beasts to drive, the brakes would lock up with even the lightest touch of the pedal, and the BH door was just about 1/2" shorter than I was, perfect for whacking my head on every time I forgot to duck.
Drivers had to check the oil as part of their pre trip but the car wash would also check and add oil overnight along with washing and fueling all the package cars.Do you remember how we had to check the oil?
The P600s were horrible. Manual steering and brakes, wooden shelves, and horrible shifters. I was once following one back to the Hub and watched it go completely airborne. The driver was getting off I-20 at the Fulton Industrial Blvd. exit to go to the first Atlanta Hub. His brakes went out so he goes into the grass trying to stop. He hit a little hill and I saw daylight under all six tires. Somehow he kept it straight when he returned to earth and geared down or something to finally stop it. I imagined he had to clean his pants out after that. That image of a flying package car will be stuck in my mind forever.

And the high roofIts a P-600 for sure, I can tell by the wheelbase.
Doesn't work when your dispatcher gives you an extra car that goes on a completely different routeIf truck gets over loaded . Just load the extras to the truck next to it. Leave a sticky note on drivers window. That way he knows .
I don't recall but its some place in the southern supplement that can do this.
You consider that piddly lil number a peak number? That's my average daily number for a slow day. During peak I will have around 2000 on my four cars.
If they keep me in the same spot. I've got 12 drivers fighting over whose cars I should load. Apparently common sense is in short supply when it comes to loading trucks.
So much for leaving a car length space in traffic bI'm having a hard time deciding if this is a P-6 or a P-8. I think its a 6. I looks different in certain shots. Notice the old clip board.
