Yes you will see Cardi Macks running at 55 mph on the interstates and return home ever night without breaking a sweat.

Would the original maxidyne have been better with another gear/ gears between fourth and fifth. I think the cummins high torque copy had seven gears. The original maxidyne died on the hills.

What. No golden shovel or ribbon.

More jobs for the crusher boys.

Any back story why greyhound didn't go Mack. Who mkes greyhound buses now.

Or heavy haul.

Good point. Then how to you repurpose one of those curb sniffers. Old Macks could always be repurposed.

Only Cummins in a Mack is for the MHD I believe.

Nice looking Daimler/shaker tanker. Paccar strikes again.

Saw in truck paper a rare MH-613 dump. 50 inch bbc/aluminum dump body/E-6 350/18,000 fronts/38,000 camelbacks/100,000 miles/35,000 dollars/. Quite pricey but definitely unique. May make a great farm truck

Nice. Paccar killer no more.

It has always been true that Mack was a rugged construction truck until maybe lately. The common current thought as Mack tries to get back into the over the road market is that Mack is not thought of as an over the road competitor. But that was not always the case. In the 40's thru the 80's. Mack was a very popular fleet truck. They probably had 20-40 percent at times of market share. L,H,B,R,U and F's were every where. Then along came the 90's with Renault, the close of the Mack west coast operations and the CH and vision and Mack over the road sales stalled. The CH never caught on with Roadway, Overnite and other former fleet operators . It seems as though the CH was kept alive by ABF and UPS. The CH and Vision were never thought of as classic big bore trucks. Thus they lost the west and the mountain states. The CH elite tried and failed to fill the bill. The period of the 90's and 2000's was a further nail in the coffin for Mack.

Grayhair: Actually the poor guy has nothing positive to say about Mack going forward because maybe there is nothing to say. Paccar is kicking Mack's ass in construction and waste removal.

You would be stylin in that RM but a little harder to turn around.

As well as UPS I havn't seen any ABF Anthems either.

Probably saved enough on the Petes to get a couple of extra. Also saw on the internet where Paccar leasing leased their 1000th truck from Paccar. Not necessarily a thousand trucks to LaFarge

Surely a Paccar reject or Burger King upgrade.

Volvo Any interest in putting a bulldog on that beast

KS: Is there a publication that breaks down truck sales by model. and also what fleets bought what.

Guess where the Anthem fenders came from. You got it -axle back CH

Ford and Navistar better watch out for the VW shark.

I'll bet Daimler would have been successful marketing the Titan.

And they were cheap to repair and overhaul too.

Does this mean that there is a Granite M900 series for civilian/commercial use?

Keep those Valueliners alive.
