Here's a couple Mack Bigfoot ore haulers in Australia, definitely big dogs.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

We had brought stone from Propples back in the 90's for a sears warehouse we did up in Ashley.

That was the first Union job that I was asked for my card daily to get on the property.

I think I remember a few problems on that project .

They left 1 million on the table to do interstate 81

Heard 5,000 ton failed and had a laundry list of other problems.

They have a contract with Allison that is ending.......they agreed to make Allison exclusive in the vocational models, in return they got a cheaper price on them. That's why for a long time it was cheaper to get Allison's in Mack's than most other makes. The M-Drive is coming for Granite's.

If you think they won't handle off road, you should check out the 700 h.p. Volvo loggers over seas.

TN is 66,000 on tandem, 74000 on triaxle, 80000 on quad, bridge law chart on interstates, my triaxle granite was only good for 53,500 on the big roads.
