So who is the big Heavy Haul concern now down under ???

Doolans I think is one of the bigger ones remaining. 

McAleese is now Rivet but not sure if they are doing heavy haul. They seem more interested in tippers.

I rarely disagree with you, but........I think the LTL was the best looking Mack built.

Going back to the LTL era, there certainly wasn't anything more beautiful.

The built in-house by Mack Trucks F-model (and CF) cab was something we were very proud of. It was heavy, but you couldn't wear it out. I personally do have a strong connection to it.

^ Correct. Washington or Oregon. He drove it across the USA and it was on loan and displayed by the Mack Trucks Museum. Picture taken at Trucktoberfest 2015 I think. 

 

Wow! I guess depending on the age there were no restrictions to bring in right hand drive truck. Just the shipping alone must have been a fortune.  Most of the time if I buy something in Australia the shipping cost more or almost as much as product lol.

No restrictions here against right-hand drive anything. Many folks own old mail jeeps and foreign vehicles.
