Cash-rich Pennsylvania giving fleets free money to go natural
Brocky replied to kscarbel2's topic in Other Truck Makes
I passed a UPS tractor on LNG on I-81 going to Winchester last fall.. He definately was getting paid by the hour as it was seriously holding up traffic on every grade!! -
I have also read that Brockway made some "Modifications" to the F model when they used it for the 457/459 COE's, But I cannot remember exactly what they were.. It is somewhere on the brockwaytrucks.org site..

Kframdiesel I just sent you a PM about the Orange Rollback -
12 valve cummins in E model
Brocky replied to kframdiesel's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Let me see if I can find out who owns the roll back -
Ken I am an "El Cheapo"!!! Have rooms in the Econolodge!! Hope Tom brings the Winfall Wimmin for the Nooner!!!

Not to defend ATHS, But the thinking behind the charge to sleep is to cover the additional facilities rental cost to include the use of the showers.. AND Johnson as usual went way overboard!!! The non fueling price of a shower at a truck stop is only in the $10 range. Board member Rick Knox brought this up last year, but did not get anywhere in lowering it.. Maybe with the new management AND if you could get enough people to complain to their RVP it could get changed by 2016.

This was at the 2012 Cherokee NC show.. I can not remember if this is a repower or a sheet metal transplant.. Possibly I can find out??

Ken and Larry If you need Mike's email addy PM or email me as I have it
-
Ken You will have to contact Mike H Superdog directly to get an honest answer to your questions..I Know He stayed in the Bulldog Hilton last year at Springfield MO and may not want to put all that info out in public.

Basically it is how much a fan of a brand a person is.. A dedicated REO person would go further and spend more than the average Joe.

Here is a link to it.. Be sure to let the ad run thru then it plays OK

Wonder if that Diamond T was stock under the hood??? Have not watched any of it.. They seem to get WAAAY too much money for stuff at that auction!! Did anybody hear what the DT went for??
-
Tom Thanks for the pictures.. How do those coils on skids ride in a van with no way to tie them down??? Must have to turn corners VEEEERRRRRY carefully???
-
Mark Thanks for the info.. Bet that last R model is praying for NO crosswind!!
-
Part of this sped limiter issue also comes from the corporate bean counters who have NO experience with trucking..If some so called "experts" say that slower speeds will improve fuel mileage, that means we are more efficent, have to buy less fuel and therefore improve the bottom line. They forget that one lawsuit resulting from an accident wipes out the profit from a LOT of miles of .5 MPG savings. I used to work for one such company(Cut to 60 MPH), sure am glad I was able to retire!!

Mark Was that last picture taken at a NASCAR race??? The Yellow and Blue edge of the very right hand COE looks like Dale Earnhart Wrangler colors?? Wrangler also had some Pete COE's in their company fleet painted like that during that era.

Plenty of Macks, especially RM's, But it takes a month of Sundays to go thru the whole topic.

Tippatone and others If you like snow removal equipment, take a stroll to this link, The topic is 10 years and 570 pages long!! The first 200 pages cover most of the antique stuff., http://www.plowsite.com/showthread.php?t=20489

Ken Hopefully Doug Maney will reply to your Idea of Gerharts as well as any other parking places in East Central PA. As far as the ATHS convoy/tour after the show they have always been WAY OVER PRICED and for the big dollar boys as far as I am concerned, BUT each to their own.. I think they all started in 2007 with the climb up Pikes Peak???
-
Ken What is an UTV??? As far as the insurance, You must have some kind of liability coverage, in case you run over somebody or into somebodies truck, Never have done it my self but would think it would be a rider on either your home owners or an all vehicle fleet policy. I have the same agent for both(State Farm) so I would check with her. I know Daryl Gushee, (on JOT and ATHS forums) was having trouble getting liability on his unlicensed vehicles before 2012 Springfield Mass and ended up with something thru the Northeast Rockbusters chapter of HCEA

I have the one in my avitar, have not done anything about restoring it. Was born and raised on them. Cortland is halfway between Binghamton and Syracuse on I-81, probably 5-6 hours from the GW Bridge.. let you figure how long it take you to get there. 2 choices: I-80 to Pocono to I-380 to Scranton and up I-81 or take I-87 to Harriman and up NY 17 to Bingo and I-81. Their website is brockwaytrucks.org

tippatone No they were not, Autocar was started in the 1910's and were made in Ardmore PA and were bought out by White in 1953 and the name/badge now belongs to Volvo. Brockway started as a wagon maker in Cortland NY in 1865, First prototype truck in 1910 and formally made a seperate corporation in 1912, Bought out by Mack in 1956, closed due to labor dispute in 1977. Have a museum in Cortland open all year and have a big gathering, parade, and show the second weekend of August with anywhere from 120 to 160 Brockways attending.
