Question about Mack ?

The reason is parts. Hard to find. I ran a few macks back in the day. They tached lower on shifts than other trucks did. I liked them. You will see freightshaker, volvo, pete dealers etc, but when was the last place you seen a mack dealer. Kind of like a unicorn you hear about them, but see one???

 

My boss owns 25 '05 and '06 Mack Vision road tractors . I have over 430,000 miles on mine . You see a lot of them pulling tankers . I don't have any problem finding dealers . I've need service 4 times in Ontario . Cambridge Mack gave me the best service I've had anywhere . I like the Mack a lot better than a Freightliner .

 

Out of all the states I have run I have seen maybe a handful at best of mack dealers.

 

Might be a regional thing . There are quite a few up I-75 . Maybe some just aren't close to the interstate . Their website says they have over 500 locations in North America but that probably includes Canada .

 

I didn't run regional.

 

This is funny to see a thread about Mack trucks for 2 reasons, Frist reason, i just drop off a load this morning in Joliet IL. right across the street from the Central U.S. Mack D.C. Second reason, my friends that live behind me, there two girls saved there money up and just bought a Bulldog a week ago. They asked me what they should name it. There Dad, who also is a trucker, and I said there is only one name you can name him, Mack. You don't see as many anymore, not like when i was a kid rolling with my Dad. Mack's to me when i was a kid were the coolest trucks, only because of the movie "Convoy" Long live the "Rubber Duck!"

 

I wasn't implying you ran regional I meant there might be more Mack dealers in certain parts of the country .

 

I got that. Just saying I seldom see mack dealers anywhere. I just about see a freightshaker everywhere tho.
