I think I’ll start a thread about how advanced Mack Trucks really were technologically superior in the 70’s and 80’s. Anyone still lay awake dreaming of Sophia Loren ?

I don’t know if we hijacked it or kept it alive.

What he said.

Moot, hearing you have so much Mack experience, and often have a similar thought process as me, I wonder if the Mack ride of old van be linked to CTE ?

That Maxidyne was so advanced technically that people couldn’t understand it. I was hauling gas in Chicago and we bought a U model as it was priced so much less than a R Model. I loved that sidecar. It’s rare to talk to another U model driver. Moot, what was your U model experience like ? The...

I betcha this is the first year John gets a Family Dollar gift card for his birthday.

Happy Birthday John. You know you’re important when you need TWO threads to hold all the birthday greetings that are projected.

Memories..... Favorite truck to ever drive was a RS700L with an air shift 4x4 .I think they called it a 12 speed. I just remember it was so smooth and had 4 reverses.

Looking at the back of the dog, did you have to tolerate “Its one A-Hole looking at another “ comments ? Or, when I dressed one up “ Puttin chrome on a Mack is like puttin perfume on a pig “.

Nice truck. Nice video. I cut my theeth on R Model Mack’s.. Growing up in the shop, prior to computers, my Friday nite date nite was spent at various dealerships looking at micro fisch films and paper build sheets of each truck. I’m thinking how far we’ve gone. Also, we’ve returned to...

Southpaw, although you occasionally can get mechanical advice here, it’s easier to get Hino advice here because we’re blessed with some good Hino mechanics. Also Freightliner advice because they are so common in this segment. It’s really not a mechanical forum. You may get some help here, but...

Some good stuff gets to auction. I hope this guy gets some good ideas soon. A no start can be a very good buy. Or not so good, depending on the repairs needed.

I’m going in for reduction surgery next month. A do-over., They didn’t take enough off last time. I may have to change my handle. Jk. A guy actually told me this years ago.

The longer Kapernick sits at home, the less protests on field I think you’ll see. He can protest all he wants. Away from work. Not while representing my business. I’m sure Fedex, Panther, and Elliot (one tee, new nickname ? ) would be very unhappy if you protested anything in front of their...

If I operated under 10,000 lb vehicles, I’d want my drivers to pass a physical. It’s a piece of mind thing. It can bring issues to light that may be overlooked if the physical wasn’t required. And it could be a positive in any court proceeding. On the flip side, A guy I knew passed a...

There’s nothing wrong with someone assuming you failed a DOT physical. Although your question could have been academic, almost anyone asking that question does it because they can’t pass a physical., It’s a major reason older/experienced drivers look at under 10,000 lbs.
