cxn613 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Heard today that Martins Potatoe Rolls in Chambersburg Pa has ordered about a dozen new Macks. They were a long time Mack customer years ago and then started buying IH. This is good to hear for Mack. Also heard that Chambersburg Waste Paper will be taking delivering of some new roll offs soon. They have always bought freightliners and western stars. If this is all true it will be great for Mack.P.S. Today the dealer took care of our boost pressure sensor problem finally.

Mack 3P Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 1 of 12 ran down the line today. It's a baby blue CXU sleeper. I've seen some old Martin's CH's and MH's on Rt 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack 3P Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I heard from the saleman that Martin is trading in the MH's for the new CXU's. The MH's were the last new Mack's they bought. They had bought some used CH's but the rest of the fleet has been International. Looks like they are buying some Mack's due to International's performance.

vision386 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I realize weight is not a concern,but i was always curious why Martins insisted on running "spoke"wheels on all their equipment,seems to me steel or aluminum wheels would be more appropriate at trade-in time for re-sale etc......just a thought, Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

The baby blues looked like Martins color, but they had polished aluminum wheels and were tandems. Are these Martins??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
