guy i started working for has done the same thing...about 35-40 trucks...always mack until the 2012 - 2015. now has 3 kw t880s, 5 on order, and plans to phase out all the macks. saw the Stark Pete at homer yesterday and today, looks sharp

had full lockers on my pete...never, never, never used them to get IN. regular diff lock to get IN. full lockers to get OUT. as far as I am concerned,if you want me to get in...fix the road. If you use the full lockers to get IN, you'll either break something or won't be able to get out. Regular diff lock should be fine. That is why they make dozers!

found this diagram on the interweb...says "drivers footwell" sounds simple! haha 8e56958b-0fc1-4644-abbe-310a02747259_D__Mack+Pubs+DVD2_Disc+4_viewer_internals_conlocplate.pdf

ran 1 set of double coin drives. JUNK. barely lasted a year. you get what you pay for. if you buy a $200 tire, you get $200 out of it. just my 2 cents

dump trucking in chicagoland is no longer fun. Time for a new career

no kidding? the way I understood it, the MDrive can't be in gear and have the PTO function at the same time? Maybe there are different ways to set it up...company here can't spread with their MDrive tractors, only the allisons

M-Drive won't engage the PTO while in gear, while an Allison will. Big negative in my book

saw s&h, also ALWAYS mack trucks, between the s&h, s&s, and united leasing fleets, with a green KW. Not good

could be the air compressor, friend of mine chased his pushing coolant out the overflow for a long time...finally put on a new compressor and it went away

That's crazy...in Addison they put the trailers in a different "contractor" lot outside the fence

they pick the trailers up at a yard just outside the fence at ups. where the ups spotter puts the trailer so the "contractors" can haul them

how do the teamsters let a bunch of scabs haul for ups when it's not even christmas time when they're swamped?

caught this nice superliner just as it went by today

Hiding in traffic I caught the palumbo superliner yesterday
