Ive asked this question before
One guy who drives a mack called me a liar and seemed offended I would even ask

Another driver worded it this way
"Try and get one fixed while your OTR"

 

i see alot of macks everyday around here. mostly ch613's. ups runs macks, some heavy haulers. even see about a dozen superliners still on the road. most any mack is a daycab though. i pedal a ch613 and haul powder in a tanker.

our company was all mack, and then we started buying internationals, due to cost and poor service.

 

Worked with Sharkey Transportation, they ran only Macks. The owner owned the local Mack dealership and thats all he would use. Nice trucks, big sleeper.

Kinda closed my eyes to the color, green and yellow. You can see them coming.

 

That is Mack's specialty. Heavy Duty chassis for heav duty work...fire engines, dumpers, etc....

 

Mack is a heavy work low distance truck mostly.
That is there nitch. A newer mack does not seem to take the abuse that the older ones did though. My first truck was a 1970 mack. 10 wheel dump with a twin stick. Darn thing ran several million miles on its origional engine, most loads were over 85,000 many around 90,000 lbs, and that was just when I was running it towards the end of its life.
Truck would beat you to death, but kept on ticking.
Finally the owner of the companys grandson ran it a few months and ragged her out.
I was making my final run with her and the engine blew.
Oil shot out the radiator and the old winged hood blew off. I was loaded, called the owner on the radio and asked what he wanted me to do, I was 3 miles from our yard.
He said run it in and get the load off.
I did as he asked, dumped off the load and parked it in the yard.
She never ran with that engine again. He sold her to the wash plant as a mud hauler.
I still love that old truck lol.
