Chatted with him a month or so back on Instagram. Maddog is right, he is working the blacktop game.

Some really nice stuff in this recent batch.

The Autocar near the road is an interesting one. An early form of the AT64-F. You don't see to many of them around.

I would say having an existing factory in place was the biggest reason Volvo decided to expand but hey, what do I know.

I am a daily visitor to your website, we have very similar taste in trucks.

Thank you! I've always been a vocational truck fan. A long nose Peterbilt with a lots of chrome does nothing for me.

Wow, I gotta head to St. Louis!

I echo Kevins statement. In all of Upstate and Western NY, with the exception of two dealers, Autocars are distributed solely by International Truck dealers. Where will their true loyalties lie when an undecided customer walks through door? Of course if the truck is as popular as social media indicates any dealer would be a fool to not sell what the customer wants.

I'll give Autocar the benefit of the doubt, they seem to have tackled their first problem, actually making a truck, with a solid plan.

While I find the headlights to be a little goofy looking I like it overall. It really does seem to be a design that the DC/DK could have evolved into over the past 30 years. Congrats to Autocar for actually building a truck and getting themselves setup to produce a truck instead of just producing vaporware and computer generated photos.

It will be interesting to see how this sells. Most Autocar "dealers" sell primarily other makes of trucks that would be direct competitors to this model.

I'm sure attorneys for both sides are already busy billing hours. 😂

are there many trucks left in that yard where that R came from??

 

Yes, many trucks. I was only able to look at a few that day. Plenty of heavy equipment as well.

I see that Ford has trademarked the names Scout and Bronco Scout for possible future use. The Scout will always be an IH product in my mind!

What is Penske power? Another nickname for a Detroit?

That truck has some serious underbite going on.

Send the bill directly to Daniel Ustian's attention.

To me, this is the most damning evidence against Volvo in the entire article. Mack couldn't gain any market share if they wanted to...the means of production are simply not there.

Mack, which in early 2018 started building its new highway truck called Anthem, has been continually hampered by supply chain constraints and has watched its market share in the North American heavy-duty truck market dwindle. Most recently, in January, WardsAuto.com data showed Mack’s market share dropped to 5 percent with 1,019 of its heavy-duty trucks sold that month in the United States, Transport Topics reported. Still, Mack’s Lower Macungie factory will be plenty busy this year, working through a hefty backlog of orders collected over the course of last year.

Similar setup at their Syracuse terminal a few years back.

Interesting that a truck was built for the movie instead of just sourcing any existing rig for an afternoon of shooting.

You should be able to change your browser homepage to be any website you want. So instead of going to aol.com it would load directly to bigmacktrucks.com

Is it late in the year for bear cubs? I don't know anything about bears other than to stay away from them in the wild.
