Dave, Are you aware Perkins sold out? Century Aggregates from Albany bought all the Perkins facilities. Century is Clemente. Clemente came to US from Italy in 1903 -his grandkids run it now. He also started Bonded ready mix in Albany . Check out their website. PS This is my Mack on the scales at Sterling a couple of years ago. this was my post in the ATHS 45th anniversary book. My caption was..."as I pull off the scales at the quarry I wonder if the gGranite in back of me will be on the road 60 years from now."

Wow- forgot about that. What ever became of the site? Wonder if that method is still used? A lot has changed in almost 40 years as far as construction technology. We always bitch about government imposed safety regs but I guess good example maybe of what can happen.

I think that was Patsie C's Dad

I said same thing first time I saw one..get rid of that curve on top and for sure by today's standards a winner in the looks department. From a safety viewpoint I also like that stand alone turn signal

Thx for the review😎

Would that be the Beard site on rt.1?

That should work- imagine it would be a tight fit😎

Agree. I just discovered this thread because of your post. I would imagine it had some sort of "slush box" of some sort out of an MX Mack or some other off road truck.

Well sooner or later the material in close to major population centers runs out. Boston Sand now runs trains from the Ossipee Region of NH. Huge pit a mile from my house is now a huge solar field..nice one as it is completly out of view. Trucks are running Rt 2 all the time now to pits on northern border. In my "youth" Rice had the pits all along Washington Ave from the center of North Haven to the P & W plant. Pretty soon the environmental loons on the Cape if they don't change their "Beach Nourishment" bullshit will have trailer dumps running off cape to get sand.

Where is Rawson's pit (s)?

It was the New England Chapter of ATHS that Mrs Fox, wife of late owner left the truck to.. ATHS claimed a chapter could not own anything. A lot of BS going back and forth. ATHS ended up selling the truck.

I missed the live show but just watdhed the video. Over an hour long..very well done show..teleprompters were in the floor. Truck is good looking..much b etter looking than Cascadia or any of the Paccars. I can't imagine what it will cost..Also the number of systems it has, almost scary in terms of complexity.

What I can't believe is the weight on what looks like a wagon on the ass end! Likewise the front axle -I assume the rubber is solid?

Nice A-Car..air conditioned at that..If you like hot air coming off the hood😎

Rivian I think..and aren't they up to their ass in alligators??

Back in the "old days"- 70-90's- IMO if you were buying tanks, IMO it was either a Fruehauf or a Heil, just a matter of who was the hungriest for the business. And Fruehaufs? Factory branches all over the place.

How is the new trailer doing?

Looks like an international with a Jeep cab??

Boy..does that sound familiar. Plus i'm into my fourth year of "covid long haul". Some people say"no such thing- I say bullshit. It just effects people in different ways. As for me, lack of strength, tiredness, brain fog.."where is that XX?"..right where I just looked five minutes ago! Last year I started bitching to my PC doc about how this was dragging on. He looks at me and says..."But you are 80 years old"! I said yeah and two years ago I was 78 and I was doing stuff a lot of 58 year olds could not do. Case in point I was having troubling starting my Stihl 036 saw. finally I'm searching on line and find some gal who works on saws..subject was hard starting..and she says..." now you guys who have these big Stihl and Husky saws, it takes a lot of snap to start these""🤔I ended swapping it to my son for his smaller saw.

EJ..where is it now??

Maybe...but CH cab is like 36 years old-time flies!

Well Paul the aerodynamic issue is key in US. No horns on the roof, no fender mounted "lollipop" turn signals etc etc. The turn signal issue really gets me. Some trucks the turn signal IMO is compromised when its included with the headlight package.

Hah My bet is the battery died at the job site and they have been jack hammering the concrete out of the barrel ever since😎

How many yards were those? Can't believe they gained much with all that weight of the extra axle -or was max allowed higher because of the axle?

Or dumb like a fox. the next announcement from Sweden will be...." After careful consideration and to remain competitive in the market place, given th commonality of drive trains, the Mack organization will be integrated into the Volvo operation blah blah. History repeats itself. White Motor bought Sterling in the early 50's then said..."duh but we have Autocar". end of Sterling. Hope I'm wrong
