Hi guys I'm new in the area of Mack trucks been dealing with an 2004 nightmare called Freightliner Columbia and well I'm ready to wake up and get Freddy off my neck and move into a Mack ASAP! What I need is a truck year that will be comparable with California laws next year and I really need to know if 08 was a good year or should I search for 09 and up which engine etc and yes its for over the road I haul dry goods right now. Thanks any information is appreciated.
