james j neiweem Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Finally they have a web site. Sharp loking paint scheme blue with red frames. Seems like they alternately buy 5-10 Cascadias and then 5-10 Pinnacles. Used to be an all Mack fleet R's and CH's. Then they slid in a few Columbias.

granitefan713 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 All of their trucks have (that I've seen), have regular Fuller 10 speeds. They have one pre-emissions Pinnacle (CXP613) with a 9-speed. 1 Quote http://www.flickr.com/photos/granitefan713/-Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Truck 333 at the local Mack dealer.Is there something about the bumper brackets on CH/CX's that cause them to bend easily? I've seen several like this where there is no visible damage to the bumper itself. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joe Ditchkus Posted September 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2014 2 stack that rolloff picture you posted that is owned by Bolus Motor Lines was mine at one time. When I owned it it was a single axle with a $75.00 tag axle I put on it. It had a 237 with a 5 speed and Dynatard. I ran Seattle Washinton and California steady with it for about 2 years it never let me down. When going across Wyoming in a headwind I would stick my hand out the window to see if I was moving.It replaced a GMC Astro I rolled over in Montana with a load of apples.I made money with it but worked my butt off.I was beyond broke when I bought it but that truck turned things around for me. I remember one time at the scale in Montana they called me in,when I went in I asked whats wrong they said nothing just wanted to see what kind of man would drive that truck steady from coast to coast.I had a 24" sleeper on it that I could not get into. Joey Bolus put I think a 350 Mack engine new trans and rears.That picture brings back memories. Joe D. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreese Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Is there something about the bumper brackets on CH/CX's that cause them to bend easily? I've seen several like this where there is no visible damage to the bumper itself.On the one I drive, I have just loosened the bolts and pulled the bumper back up into place and re-tightened the bolts. The bumper just seems to drop over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bumper just seems to drop over time.I guess that would explain why it seems to be so common. Thanks. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
