That is a sweet ride,seen it in the Truckpaper before with a higher price I think. IT will turn my head if I seen it hooked to a Mac going the other way This truck would have to be seen in person because $70,000 into the truck is allot and really cant see it in the one picture and little info they give

Very true I deal with Blue Mountain same group,but was thinking with one truck you don't want to delay your customers load waiting on parts.Also I had problems years ago with liability insurance on older (Dump trailers) check to make sure a 25 year old truck wont give problems on your policy. I know you had a V8 and this 427 but I would really hook the RW to your dump and see what you think I ran both 350s and they are not powerhouses One last Thing, Is the Superliner a one or two early or late 85 and where is the PICTURE's

I see no problem with the RW trade. The Rw will hold its value longer in history then the newer trucks.the E6 is little weak since you are coming from a 460hp plus truck with a average MPG of close to 7. you can get 6 something out of E6.(you can turn them up) to run with 425 Cats but if its 2-valve,I found valve seats are weak and 4-valve I had cam lobs wear down But I cant leave things stock.Now if it was a E7-400 mech, That would be a potential ANIMAL. Around here E6 parts are not on the shelf at Mack dealer here.

Mack has done this since the 60's that I have seen and yes to cut load on switches and to be cool with the blink, blink switch (Mack was ahead of its time) if you have a tractor it will blink trailer markers, In a strait truck you can relocate your body lights to that switch.

Trucking News: FMCSA Eyes Boost in UCR Fees For 2010
mackcl96 replied to BMT Forum Bot's topic in Trucking News
What they are saying here is the few that have paid, now have to pay for those that have not in the last 2 years increasing the fee to I think 95 dollars -
I pasted it because the link was not transferring correctly 12/1/2008 New Federal Rules Tie Medical Certification to CDL The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration today published its final rule changing how driver medical qualifications are handled, tying them to the commercial driver's license. CDL drivers who are subject to the medical qualification rules will have to give a copy of their medical examiner's certificates to their state driver licensing agency. The state licensing agency must record that medical certification status on the driver's Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) record. If the medical certification expires, states are required to update the medical certification status of the CDLIS driver record to show the driver as 'not-certified," and then downgrade the CDL within 60 days of the expiration of the driver certification. The rule is effective Jan. 20, 2009, with state compliance required by Jan. 30, 2012. All CDL holders must comply with the requirement to submit to the state licensing agencies their self-certification on whether they are subject to the physical qualification rules by Jan. 30, 2014. Currently, interstate CDL drivers are responsible for providing a copy of the medical examiner's certificate to the motor carrier and for carrying a copy of the certificate when operating. Under this final rule, drivers must provide the medical examiner's certificate to the state licensing agency. A driver's date-stamped medical examiner's certificate (or a copy) serves as a receipt from the SDLA and may be used as proof of medical certification for 15 days. Except for using the receipt for the first 15 days, the driver is no longer allowed to use the medical examiner's certificate as proof of his or her certification to enforcement personnel or employers. Such drivers no longer have to carry the actual medical examiner's certificate, but must continue to carry any skill performance evaluation (SPE) certificate or medical exemption document while on duty. Motor carriers must place the driver's current CDLIS MVR documenting the driver's medical certification status in the driver's qualification file before allowing the driver to operate a commercial motor vehicle. Motor carriers may no longer use a copy of the medical examiner's certificate to document physical qualification in the file, except for up to 15 days from the date stamp on the receipt given to the driver by the state licensing agency. FMCSA says the new rule will help prevent medically unqualified drivers from operating on the nation's highways by providing state licensing agencies a means of identifying interstate CDL holders who are unable to obtain a medical certificate and taking action to downgrade their CDLs accordingly. The final rule will also serve as a deterrent to drivers submitting falsified medical certificates because FMCSA and state enforcement personnel will now have access, via CDLIS, to information about the medical certificate and the identity of the medical examiner who performed the examination. Electronic access will enable FMCSA and the states to detect certain patterns or anomalies concerning the source of medical certificates through queries of the licensing databases at any time rather than being limited to checking for such issues during roadside inspections and compliance reviews. FMCSA estimates that there are 3,000 trucks per year involved in crashes where there was either a fatality or serious injury, and the 'critical reason' for the crash was the truck driver having a heart attach or other physical impairment. Medical certifications violations are found in between 7 and 8 percent of driver roadside inspections, making them one of the most commonly cited driver violations. Data from industry indicate that approximately 7 percent of drivers fail the medical examination. This violation is cited in approximately 6 percent of post crash inspections, and evaluation of this post-crash inspection data indicates that drivers with medical certification violations may pose an increased crash risk when compared with drivers not cited with this violation.

If I remember correctly(20 years ago when I worked at a Mack dealer) Roadway was a Tough costumer lots of idiot lights no gauges The tach and speedometer was special built as one unit {not a tachograf} with a highbeam light indicator that was an R for Roadway instead of the Little Mack dog No mascot or truck company advertising just like UPS and some others Door on top of hood to check water You were able to check oil and add oil without opening hood The key switch was put on the left side so it could be started from the ground (union idea)

States have until 2012 to comply Pa was not ready but I guess NY is The main reason for this rule is too many drivers are making fake cards http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/news-deta...s_category_id=3
