    IAP- Does that mean that the driver is less than intelligent?

    Would make the perfect Mack mid range /class seven truck.

    Alright EPA enough is enough. I thought president Trump was going to reign in those out of control beurocrats.(I don't have a prayer of spelling that right).

    I saw one of those years ago on the interstate. Afterwards I had no idea what I had just seen.

    That's the one. Thanks

    Senile me messed up. The long nose GMC set back axle was a Preston 151 line truck. Terebecki the trucking pioneers book two page 184.

    Yes it might have been a 9500. I guess all of those Yellow freight GMC's were 8500's

    There is money in heavy haul to my way of thinking. In the northeast when Mack didn't offer a decent priced right heavy haul product Paccar filled the bill. When Paccar got there foot in the door the dump trucks followed. Cases in point in Connecticut; Tomasso, Manafort, Cherry Hill etc. Mass RI Vt & NH are probably similar. eKennedy and hicrop10 lets hope you are right.

    I was looking through one of the Terabecki books the other day and under the yellow freight segment it showed a long nose set back axle GMC 8500. Never saw one of these before. I wonder what the story is here? What engine? Yellow had numerous 8500's at one time . May still be a few kicking around along with the ABF CH Mack's and IH 9000's.

    KS: I believe Volvo is thinking along these lines. In order to establish a heavy haul presence for Volvo they would have to eliminate some competition, namely an easy target the Mack Titan. Eliminating the rest of the competition is not so easy. The truck buying public will do that by not buying Volvo heavy hall.

    KS: If it is not very expensive for Ford to produce a new medium duty cab then it shouldn't be to much money for Volvo to make an extended hood Pinnacle to take a big bore engine. Now we know that the Mack medium duty is late to the party when is this mystery model scheduled for an appearance. Not to soon I guess as they only have two engineers assigned working out of a storage trailer.

    Back to hauling pork chops for that driver.

    Mr. Hancock to the rescue.

    Anyone out there have these in their fleet and how do they stack up. I know Mack says the Granite is the number one construction platform but this doesn't seem to square with the number of 800's and 880's all over the place.

    Fuel costs should be through the roof.

    Way to go Oshkosh. Be careful if you get too many orders or the Europeans will gobble you up.

    Mr. Hancock: Very insightful about the Paccar comment. Paccar shareholders are very happy.
  18. james j neiweem
    Very popular construction truck.
  19. james j neiweem
    Throw a little cash to Volvo and buy out Mack.
  20. james j neiweem
    Cummins /Eaton should be a Mack option.
  21. james j neiweem
    Overall bad. While trying to increase market share over the road. They lost heavy haul, and are losing the construction and garbage business.
  22. james j neiweem
    That B81 is a keeper. Hope they don't get tempted to go Paccar.
  23. james j neiweem
    When the DM 800's first came out I thought they were ugly. Boy was I wrong.
  24. james j neiweem
    DIDN'T all H models have sleepers?
  25. james j neiweem
    I didn't realize those European Cab overs had hoods/bonnets that opened.
