    Been looking at a glider and talked to these guys today. Here is one of the trucks they have on site. Any of you heard of these guys? Talking to them on the phone they seem to know what they are doing and offer a 4 year unlimited mile Caterpillar warranty on the engine and trans. They seem to do really nice work but I have never heard of them... What are you thoughts?

    I been seeing their trucks advertised myself on truckpaper, I've heard of them being from Kentucky and all... But I don't know anyone who has bought one of their gliders. That is one sweet looking rig though, and Mack suspension? Wow! Let us know if you get one and how well it does!

    Is the Mack suspension better for heavy haul?

    I have no history with the mack air suspension at all. I am looking for one as a Tri-Axle dump truck. I am thinking about getting the Hualmax. I would like the ride that the air will give us but off road I have heard they suck.

    Air ride was never intended for off road. The chalmers suspension is said to be the best for logging, dump, mixer applications.

    I have two trucks with chalmers and 3 with Hendrickson RT and I will NEVER buy chalmers again.... They are great but cost about 30% more to keep going...
