kscarbel2 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thank you Ted. I know the author, Steve Brooks. I told him that he's the best heavy truck journalist in the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaican Bulldog Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Interesting article especially this bit. "There are those who say Mack is today nothing like its forebears, and they’re right. However, Mack today also produces and sells more trucks than any time in its ‘glorious past’." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about that also. But I guess the same could be said for any truck maker who is still around. Market share is another thing.

Chicago mack dealers once had new macks in the Lot, now we have no 100% Mack truck dealrships that I know of. M&K and CIT truck centers are what we have now. they sell KW mack others. you would be lucky to spot a mack in the lot, if you do find on it was just in for service. yet there will be 30+ New Volvo tractors front and center in the lot....
