LMFAO.........

Glad you're happy with your Mack though. I could never bring myself to even step onto a mack lot.
I unfortunately drove a CH613 E7-427 super10 for Beelman out of St.Louis (RATTY OUTFIT) for about 9 weeks....They had over 400 of them and had so much trouble out of them that they switched to Pete and Freightshakers.They are JUNK....Nothing more,nothing less.And 38 grand would have bought you a REAL truck that when you got ready to sell it would have got you some money back....Course with the price of scrap being up,you may do ok.

The answer for that is NO. That's not why we have all of BS. The demand for the truck driver increased. The industry couldn't keep up. As the demand for the driver increase so did the supply of steering wheel holders. Not drivers, steering holders. To be a driver it takes more than 25,000.00,(in your case 2,400.00) 25 miles, and 25 minutes.

Every Thing I Posted Is A Verifiable Fact. The Longest Road Train Was In New Zealand 113 Full Size Trailers Weighing In At Over 2,000,000 Pounds It Beat Kw's Record Of 83 Handily. The Truck Was A Mack Titan.the Warranty Is A Fact. The Term Built Like A Mack Truck Appears In News Papers All The Time It' A Fact And The 1300 U.s. Patents Is A Fact Including The Very First Truck Maker To Put Air Ride On The Cab Of It's Truck .everyone Is Still Playing Catch Up. Until This Year Pete Could Only Claim That It Built A Chassis They Didn't Build Anything Else And There New Engines Are Mann Diesels Out Of Austria.

755000 Miles And Still Going Strong We'll See.

Let me give you all the facts you need to know....Check the prices of used Macks and the same year 379exhd and you'll see pretty quick which is the best by what consumers are willing to pay for each of them.
