This is my dad, Robert Dean, on the left, and another unidentified driver on the right. What makes this one special is the CAT emblem on the front. This truck had what's likely the first v-8 cat engine ever put on the highway. They had two engines for the truck. While one was out being disassembled and measured, the other one was running. Dad drove the truck regularly, and said it was possibly the most powerful truck he'd ever seen.
Dad told me about one time climbing out of Denver. A Greyhound bus passed the truck-loaded, and dad suggested they return the favor. The other driver, who'd never driven the truck before, looked at dad like he was crazy-nobody passed a bus, not in a loaded truck. Dad just told him to get with it. Next thing you know, they passed the bus, and then some.
The pictures were taken in 1965 by Caterpillar. Robert Dean Collection.

Here is an article that I think came out of TRANSPORT TOPICS and I see that it was dated March 1969. The pair didn't leave together as implied. Enlarge this picture and you can see the lettering, such as the D on the left extended to DIRECT and the C on the right COAST to COAST. The colors were very close to Mayflower with the yellow on the doors and maybe the letters.
DC didn't buy these tractors and only ran them until the weather got warm enough that air-conditioning was needed. These did not come with AC. One of the drivers complaints was that as co-driver, you set so high in your seat that you had to dress before you climbed out of the bunk, if you should be in town. You were exposed and as the driver, you felt like you could jerk the wheel and throw your partner out the window. Other complaints were the Greyhound mirrors. I could go on, but It wasn't very long before the GMC engineers stopped meeting the drivers and asking what they thought. Me and my co-driver Don Vanston (retired in Arkansas) got to make one trip before they were passed back to General Motors. I remember we got a lot of attention as we crossed America. Fred Veregge Collection

Here is a very unusual pic of a set of WOLF WAGONS that worked both the city and the road. Both units had (322 cu in Chev. engine with six speed Allison auto. transmission and when hooked together pulled in unision. The idea was that yoou would load in one city for delivery in the next city without having to cross-dock the freight. (didn't work that way). The driver had an inside door leading to the freight compartment. The engine set in the middle and you could only check the radiator thru an inspection door in the freight box. Also, the only time you were on the road was when you crossed it. This was the spring of 1958 and before the year was up, POWELL BROS. TRUCK LINE sold out to TIME giving them direct authority between Tulsa OK and St. Louis, MO., also Memphis and KC MO.
These wagons were hard to control, as back then they didn't know to put the lighter one on the back. I always remember this one old timer returning from Kansas City down OLD highway 13 using that saying, describing his experience. "The only time I was on the road was when I crossed it."
The designer and builder of the these was a man with the last name WOLF from Dallas Texas. He had sold (?) several units to East Texas Motor Freight. He also sold some to ARMOUR Packing Co. in KC to deliver their products. These at Armour had the appearance of a half cab and had a diesel mounted up front. Fred Veregge Collection

Here is a print of a water color of a D C truck done in 1968 just before they merged with TIME, and after they dropped the ONLY COAST TO COAST CARRIER. There were four of these prints done, and done up what looked like the four seasons. This is the only one that survived that I had. I gave the rest away by the time I left DC in 1971. There should be others out there and would be great if the rest of the collection could be found and displayed. The original prints were large, close to 28 by 9 inches.
