St. Louis Mack Trucks

[autocardc 87]

See a lot of trucks fron the northeast on this site but thought I would start a thread on Macks in St. Louis. When I was a kid it was nothing but fords, macks, internationals and autocars. In the city and a radius up to 18 miles outside of it tri axles and quads can gross up to 120k. Below are some pics. As for tandems you can gross up to 80k. Outside of nyc it seems like St. Louis allows the heaviest trucks.

I see "mega dealer" Vanguard Truck Centers bought St. Louis Mack in 2013.

Alike Caterpillar, the day is coming when there will be 15 or less Mack brand distributor principals nationwide. At distributor meetings, Volvo will save on catering.

Nice pics of dogs getting dirty!

Load to the top of the sideboards and then some.

120k!! Our roads are grooved enough from 80k, I can't imagine what that would do.

Trio of dm’s and a couple granites, included the granites as they could be older than the first two dm’s.

I wonder how many old macks are hiding around in garages and back fenced in areas of the big cities. Probably a gold mine out of sight out of mind.

Always good to see rd and rb models working. Cherry on the top was finding two rusted b models hiding behind buildings.

Valley Material runs an all Mack fleet with the exception of a few sterlings. Nice seeing nothing but Mack’s on a concrete pour. Never seen mixers with overhead water tanks in St. Louis but love that setup. The dm’s came from Louisville.

Used to be common on Rocket mixers.
