Mack Trucks: 'Significant Upward Pressure' on Class 8 Orders Date: March 26, 2018 FleetOwner.com “Things continue to hum [and] everything is working in the economy,” noted Jonathan Randall, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Mack Trucks, and that’s putting what he dubbed “significant upward pressure” on Class 8 orders. He explained during a press conference here at the Mid America Trucking Show that the U.S. economy continues to display “good momentum” in 2018 with 2.88% gross domestic product (GDP) growth expected this year compared to 2.3% in 2017. As a result, strong freight volumes, tight capacity, and rising freight rates have combined to generate a surge in Class 8 orders. Though Randall said Mack still expects Class 8 production to total 280,000 units this year, he stressed that number may go higher as orders increase from the long-haul sector and from fleets. “January and February were two of the biggest Class 8 order intake months ever,” Randall added. “There has been an influx of 70-in. sleeper orders and day-cab orders are now surpassing straight truck orders. It’s not just a replacement cycle [for older trucks]; we’re seeing growth [of fleets] as well.” He also noted that in 2017, the over-the-road sector comprised 41% of Class 8 sales, but over the last five month rolling average, that’s increased to 48%. Randall said Mack’s new highway tractor, the Anthem, is benefiting from that demand.

Fxfymn thanks for the correction. The F750 is gvwr at 33k. The F650 on LPG is rated at 30k. The f650 was released first and Roush LPG conversion has them with 30k gvwr and a 3,000 gallon lpg tank. Then the F750 launched with an auto gas option and got approved for lpg conversion allowing for the 33k gvwr. Here they run both but I believe are migrating to all F750 as they are now available. They claim cheaper and better performance than the Freightliner with the 8liter v8 LPG option. Im a gm guy too 8.1l 6spd Allison in my 2500HD.

Local Propane company here has been very happy with their F650 v10 torqueshift bobtails running loaded around 33k pounds. No major mechanical issues or failures and high driver satisfaction in the hills here in upstate NY.

My wife has given that book as a birthday present to more kids than I can count!!

Do you worry about the bottom end on one like that after rpms and who knows what operating angle?

Auctions international just sold one with an 8v92 and 89k miles. Day cab municipality owned. Went for ~$8600 plus buyers fees. Went past my limit but almost came home here. https://www.auctionsinternational.com/auction/11919/item/1986-ford-ltl9000-tractor-72958

The Ford V10 is readily convertible to Propane fueling. Interesting UPS is going with a gasoline option. We have heard several school districts here going with gas busses moving away from LPG and diesel for overall cost factor.

Nice job! Glad to hear she fired right up.

Clist ads around here are $16k-$22k for comparable stats. Cut my teeth on a ch like yours. Good luck!

Love a story with a happy ending! Glad it's fixed.

I typically buy a pigtail adapter they often come with a wiring diagram. Quick google search netted one for $25.

My friend built this one to mow his land lot out in California, says he dials the throttle in by ear to get 540 on the pto.
