New Macks

South Jersey apparently has a new Pinnacle coming in today from talking with them earlier today. The TM there said he is mostly trying to keep Mack's and Pete Aero's only apparently corporate is still ordering some internationals as well.

 

I can't remember the guys name that got the new Mack at the terminal......but I laughed my butt off when someone(I know who) put a 'print out' of a long standing employees name on who it was reserved for! Gave him a text and he said, I'll stop by the gas station around the corner and get some gas to burn that thing! haha

 

No adjustable arm rest on drivers side so still a POS. Mack will never figure out their ergonmically incorrect design is causing physical injury to drivers and of course companies don’t care, drivers for Mack’s are a dime a dozen
Other than lack of adjustable armrest they are pretty decent truck. Quiet inside. The factory seats are great.

 

i drive a 13 pinnacle with over 800k on it. it’s honestly a quiet truck. it crunches over big bumps but the other 95% of the time it is very quiet. it’s a day cab, to boot. they’re not bad trucks after they go through the teenage years/dpf issues.

mine calls for a regen about twice a year. the truck literally runs 24/7 mon morning-sat morning. ill keep my current assigned truck as long as i can. the brand new ones don’t ride much better but they are gutless in comparison and have far more electronic nannies. and somehow they are 2 mph slower with the same governor.

 

I see Westcan up here in Canada has a few sneaking around pulling super b tanks. Actually look pretty sharp in red.

 

Look at that storage! The pinnacles and visions i drove were just a shelf.

 

I guess Im going to have to come down from the highland and defend the Mack Interiors to a degree with fire and sword.

It is first necessary to celebrate Mack's Achievement in construction. If you knew the entire success and or failure of the line.
