LOL, No sir, I will answer for MR Skinner. Apparently you don't know what a 359 is either. I don't have the patience to keep educating you. The 359 is the Last of the million mile chassis Peterbilt made. I know guys who have 5 million mile on those trucks.He has one heck of a truck. A lot more truck than a Mack could EVER be.

Man if you really think a Pete is going to end up in a junk yard first over a mack you are the most dumbest, idiotic, mentally retarded person i have ever seen on a internet forum, how come i see Petes from the 80s, like the all mighty 359 runnin around, yet hardly see any superliner? Which is the only real mack ever made.

Yea, I see quite a few Mack OTR truck's around here. Builder's Supply and a couple other local companies have the new Vision's and several have full size sleeper's. I believe they are auto's though because I was watching one and he never reached to shift gear's. Those 84" Millennium sleeper's are nice. I've never seen one paired with anything other than the Vision cab's. Never a CH model. I don't know how they ride or what they look like on the inside buy they sure do look sharp when setup on the right set of rim's. Those triangle rim's look like ####. I wouldn't mind having one with a Cat or Cummins in it.

We have a Mack dealer here in Shreveport/Bossier City. You'd never know it though unless you looked it up. Hell, we even had a hard time trying to find it and I've been living here all my life! It's tucked off a side road just off Hwy 80 in Bossier City. West bound side of I-20 if your on the interstate but you won't see it, not even on 80. It's acually not all that far from the Petebuilt/Rush Truck Center off 20 as a crow fly's.

This Mack dealer hardly had anything on the lot last time we were there and we were there for a Kenworth part. They also have one a Mack dealer in El Derado, AR. Mix truck pulling a tank was a Mack Granite day cab. Had to follow him over there to the dealership to have the truck worked on because something was wrong with it. I guess being a new truck, all the bug's hadn't been worked out. Even got to drive it around the yard a bit after everybody else left for the day. Not to bad of a truck. A LOT more comfy than the B model day cab. Still like my Freightshaker's though.

Argueing is spelled ARGUING- 2nd grade education.

Now you call us 2nd graders. I was shifting gears popping pills and getting down the line, long before your Volvo and you came around. You should just bow out gracefully. One more thing, YOU COULD NEVER DO MY JOB -NEVER, you don't have it in you or your Volvo.
