  1.   

    I have this Superliner on my phone! Took several pics up at the burn plant in Concord NH last summer. Belongs to a crane company. Beautiful rig!

    I loved that truck when I saw it, I met the owner awhile back. He wanted to sell it but wasn't sure what he wanted, then I was on vaca in Plymouth and saw it at southeastern mack. Took it for attest ride and loved it, 400 18 spd. I wish it was in my garage, I hope the new owner is good to her.
  2. I think springs are good for antiques and heavy tandems. I would want air ride with 50 rears for my tractor or tri axle. Look at what the mixers do, you can't get any more severe duty than that nowadays. Just a shame it's Hendrickson that as the heavy air ride.

  3. Thought I would generate some excitement today by going across a steep curvy mountain closeby...did pretty good...hardly used the brakes, gave the engine brake a good workout! Learned to use the engine brake when I needed a "quick" upshift!

    Up ahead is the mountain we will cross See the power line...that's where we will cross! Twice!
