  20. you know mark i grew up pretty much the same way as you did,,third generation driver,and nowadays you cant even get anyone to key up on the cb,and say anything anymore,,out here,and everyone snubbs me in the truckstops...was wondering if it was the same way,back in the east coast...i mean not a friggen peep all nite on that radio..bob
  21. ya thats not cool at all,ive been out of macks for 21 years now,used to be an owner op,,company driver now,,,but thats not good business at all.we run cummins,in our kenworths,they seem to be unbreakable.only petty electric switch problems.what i didnt like mostly,about mack,at least here,was those dam fuel lines exploding,leaving you strandid in the middle of nowhere,nearest parts like 300 mile from where you are,and i usually had to tow it.ca ching ca ching.just for a dumb fuel line nobody had,rite?...bob
  22. thats very interesting,,glad you found what you need,unfortunate about the warrenty,i had pretty good luck with warrenty 20 years ago...seeya bob
  23. ya,man,,,you might find you dont even need the cdl,for the antique,not commercial anymore,and your not working it.check it out.im on short term disability rite now,,i cant do anything,or go anywhere,,bob

  24. but then again california rules,read its not classified commercial vehicle,unless company signs on both sides,and again most states have have similar rules.good luck babba,look it up...bob

  25. you know i dont know,of course every state runs a little differant,i believe here you need the physical,,,all aside it is a cute little puppy lol.
