I was looking for a picture of that truck! but couldn't remember the name of the movie! thanks Ernie! I think in the movie they said they had about $12,000.00 tied up in the truck and trailer! I know one thing,theres NO WAY anybody would have closed me up inside that tanker trailer! I would have had to been the driver or stay home!.....................................Mark

I found this picture and thought I would share it,that Superliner sure looks familiar! it's a great picture too!......................................Mark

"Ok chief,it's twenty till 7,two hundred miles to go,and I want this freight in Buffalo by NOON! I don't care if you're hungry,or when the last time you slept was,now get in this thing and get rollin'"!........................................Mark

A good friend of mine in Jersey had a similar experience,he was leaving for work (he pulled a dump trailer with a KW conv.) when a woman came down a get off ramp the wrong way and hit him head-on,she was killed instantly (which was her wish) according to her suicide note. Bob on the other hand spent six months in the hospital,lost his truck,eventually his home and family,plus an extended stay at the "nervous hospital"............... because of some dumb-ass women's husband had cheated on her. Bob is still paying on a hospital bill that is almost a million dollars,un-able to work (in a truck) and this happened almost 10 years ago. People like this infuriate me! if you want to end it,go ahead and get it over with,but don't take an innocent person with you and ruin their lives as well............Mark

Neat picture! that is a White "Super Power" (probably model WC-22) not a Mack,i truly enjoy seeing these pictures of everyone elses families involved in trucking,thanks for posting!...........Mark BTW,where you from in Jersey? born and raised in South Jersey myself,but now living in VA.

My personal favorite First-Gear Brockway..............................Mark

Nice one Al! I thought the Cannonball was a neat looking truck,do you remember one from Overdrive,tractor of the month, it was yellow/black with a double, polished, Mercury sleeper on it? sharp truck!.................................................Mark

Found these old ads for them................................Mark

Thanks! I couldn't remember the name of the KW dealer,but I did recall they advertised in OVERDRIVE magazine,that was the place I saw my very first KW aerodyne C.O.E. I remember eating in the Mayflower diner many times,as I recall they had pretty good stuffed cabbage...........................................Mark

This is just one more indication of how the lack of respect for our country has grown in the past few decades,do it right,or don't do it!..................................................Mark

Those guys at the truckwash actually do a decent job! I've had my truck washed there a few times too.......................................Mark

When is the last time you saw a sign like this? sure wouldn't fly today,descrimnating against somebody!.....................................Mark

Another pretty famous shithole! Secondi Brothers Milford,CT.........this place has been a dump as long as I can remember! used to be a really nice KW dealer behind them,one of the first truck dealers I remember with an indoor showroom!...............Mark

I was in there a few times back when I still ran the "coast" they actually did have some pretty cute girls working there (in the restaurant that is) Lol!....................................Mark

I'm surprised no ones mentioned CHEMICAL LEAMAN tank lines? they always ran Macks up until near the end,i saw Freightliners,Vulva-White-GMC Cabovers.............................Mark

Some nice stuff Rob! the only Siku I have is the gold R-Model wrecker..........................................Mark

Could'nt resist this one,brings a tear to my eyes when I see it now!.................................................Mark

I sure do Chuck! Al Villy was a neighbor of my cousins from Pennsauken,the two DM-800's are parked in front of his shop in the picture (Helmrich Towing & Recovery) also based in Pennsauken. And the WHITE trailers and dump bodies were built in my hometown (Elmer,NJ) for many years. Mack had an ad or brochure featuring an R-Model hooked up to a WHITE dump trailer,i wish I could find a copy!..................................Mark

Super trucker at the (new) drive-through?..........................................Mark

Awsome! very cool video,thanks for posting this,i prolly would have done a job like that given the circumstances! Nothing but a Mack truck could have done that work!...............................................Mark

"Ok Pop,lets pull this crate up on the scale,looks like your 1250 pounds over on the steer axle,and let's see that logbook! you sure you ain't got any contraband in that wagon?..................you in a heap o' trouble,that's for sure! Judge won't be in till the morning,so it's a night in the jug for you"! "damn no-good truckdrivers!".......................................Mark

Thought Otherdog might get a kick out of this one,way different now eh?........................................................Mark

WAWA dairy/convenience stores in Pennsylvania ran all Macks up until a few years ago,now it's an assortment of Macks plus "brand-x".................................Mark (pictures from WAWA's fan website)

Brocky,I got that picture from the interweb,it was taken at their terminal in Louisiana,but I lived/grew up about 13 miles from the terminal in Swedesboro,the old terminal building is now a Kenworth dealer!..............................Mark

Best wishes for a Happy Birthday Vin!............................................Mark
