Ya think you'll be sittin in a Titan 25 to 30 years from now? We'll prob be haulin em to the scrap yard with our Superliners and R's an B's

There is no comparison when comparing the legendary Quality of Macks from the 80's and back to the thrown together product of today. (keep in mind I own Old and new)

I couldn't agree with you more as I'm sure this plastic won't last as long.

It's still fun to give the new Tech a ride when you get a chance.

Very true, I see lots of newer Mack's in the scrap yards already.

the new trucks have alot of plastic i think mainly to save weight and money and hell plastic will last a few hundred thousand years without rotting away .

Danny had actually got Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan after Bone Crusher had got done working for the Pelletiers seeing it was the better Mack Titan out of the two and is the one that totaled it back in 2012, (It was totaled back in 2012 and replaced with a 2012 Cat truck) 

 

  Danny actually had three roll overs while he was in the Mack Titans, The first roll over was in the first Mack Titan that he had that is seen pictured up above, The other two roll overs were in Bone Crusher's old Mack and Danny had totaled the truck in the last roll over, Jeff had told me that they had bought back Bone Crusher's old Mack after it was totaled and than sold Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan to someone else to fix, Because, The particular person that had bought Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan bought it to fix, Because, They had a Mack Titan parts truck that wasn't fixable, But, Eve though the Mack Titan parts truck wasn't fixable, It did have some good parts on it that were used to get Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan back up and going 

 

Someone else had also drove Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan for a little while when Danny was on leave for a little while, But, Danny eventually came back and about a year later is when Danny had totaled it 

 

The truck that they called "The Curse" (Truck #71) during the first season of the show is the truck that got traded in on Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan 

 

Rookie Eric LeBeau is the one that got the Mack Titan after Danny had got out of it, Eric also had a couple of roll overs with it, Than, Eric had got done for the Pelletiers and another rookie driver had gotten it until they had traded it in 

 

Both Mack Titans are still around the area and are still going to this day despite that they've both been rolled over atleast three times each 

 

Truck #68 would of been the truck that would of been traded in on Danny's first Mack Titan a few weeks after they would of got the first Mack Titan, Truck #68 would of been driven by Tom Mushero that they called "Playboy" during the first season of the show and than Truck #68 would of later than been driven by a rookie by the name of Darrell Belanger that was featured during the second season would of the show that always seemed to have a problem with the truck and that beat on that particular truck quite alot 

 

Truck #69 would of also been traded in on Truck #90 the same year they got the Mack Titans, But, Truck #90 is a Western Star which is a truck that they still have to this day 

 

Truck #89 would of been the last truck that was the year before they bought the Mack Titans and Truck #64 would of been the truck that would of been traded in on Truck #89 

 

Truck #89 would of ended up being traded in on Truck #101 a couple of years ago 

 

The 2011 Cat truck that you posted a picture of is was bought brand new as a left over in 2012 and is Truck #97 and I'm actually the one who took that particular 

 

The truck that you see in Mackcl96's post that I quoted is the truck that was involved in a head on collision in the very last episode of the series during the third season of the show is Truck #74 at the time of the accident it was being driven by a rookie by the name of Jake Laweryson 

 

The Pelletiers had actually fixed Truck #74 and ran it for about a year until It was swapped in on Truck #97 which is the bright red Cat truck you had posted a picture of

 

Jake Laweryson would of got Truck #74 after Travis Mushero got out of it and Jake Laweryson would of had Truck #81 earlier in the third season of the show before he had Truck #74

 

Jason Walton which was a rookie that seen during the third season of the show would of been the first one to Truck #74 for a little while after it got fixed after being involved in an head on collision until Jason got a brand new truck and Jason would of also started off driving Truck #70 before he got Truck #74  

 

Dana Noble which was the rookie during the first season of the show would had Truck #70 before Jason Walton did, Dana Noble would of drove Truck #70 for a little after they had swapped in Truck #71 "The Curse" on one of the Mack Titans

 

Truck #81 would of been the Western Star that Bone Crusher would of had before he got his Mack Titan and Truck #81 would of been traded in on Truck #95 seeing it was one of the three trucks that the Pelletiers would of traded in because the cat engine in those three particular trucks were giving them problems and Truck #95 would of just got traded in on Truck #104 some time after the first week of June this year

 

Truck #104 I believe is the Pelletiers first International and Jason Walton would of also got Truck #95 brand new right after he got out of Truck #74    

 

Travis Mushero is Tom Mushero's brother and would of got Truck #83 after he got out of Truck #74, Truck #83 would of been the truck that Danny would of had before he got his first Mack Titan, Travis was also seen in one of the episodes of the show in I believe during the first season of the show, Travis ended up driving Truck #83 until he got a brand new truck during the third season of the show, Because, Truck #83 was one of the three trucks that the Pelletiers would of traded in because the cat engine in those three particular trucks were giving them problems, Wayne Pelletier also drove Truck #83 for a little while and was also seen driving Truck #83 during one of the third season episodes while his truck was down, They had to do a motor job on the tri axle truck that they call the three little pigs and motor on the three little pigs was still under warranty, So, The dealer told the Pelletiers to keep Truck #83 a little longer even though they had already traded it in until they were done rebuilding the engine on the three little pigs and that's when Wayne Pelletier had driven Truck #83 for a little while 

 

Truck #83 would of been traded in on Truck #94 and Travis Mushero would of been the one to get Truck #94 brand new and Truck #94 would of been traded in on Truck #103 last year which would be another Cat Truck

 

Tom Mushero would of had Truck #82 during the second season and part of the third season of the show, Truck #82 would of been the last of the three trucks that the Pelletiers would of traded in because the cat engine in those three particular trucks were giving them problems and is also the truck that is seen being hauled off on a wrecker during the third season of the show 

 

Wayne Pelletier would of been the one that would of drove Truck #82 brand new during the first season of the show before he got the three little pigs, Truck #82 would of been traded in on Truck #93 which is the brand new truck that Tom Mushero is seen driving during the third season of the show, Truck #93 would of been traded in on Truck #105 last year which would be another Cat Truck

 

Danny Pelletier started driving Truck #93 after he totaled Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan, Danny now is the assigned driver for Big Foot today, Which is the truck that Lester Dube drove during the show and I forgot to say that Truck #82 was also driven around by Steve Gilman for a little bit during the second season of the show while his Black Freightliner was down before Tom Mushero got it and Wayne Pelletier is also seen driving Truck #82 for one last time during a third season episode when he was pulling doubles in the rain and use a different truck to use on the highway to haul to a couple of loads to a mill when he had to separate his double trailers 

 

Wayne Pelletier still drives the three little pigs to this day         

 

Truck #98 is a Silver Kenworth with maroon fenders with a very small sleeper that they still currently have that was bought back in 2012 

 

Truck #70 would of been the truck that was traded in on Truck #98 and Truck #70 was also seen many times on the show, But, Was mainly seen on the third season of the show, Eldon hauled a delimber on a low bed in one of the third season episodes with Truck #70 and Dustin Pelletier was also seen hauling a highway load in the rain in one of the third season episodes with Truck #70

 

Truck #99 would of been the replacement for Bone Crusher's old Mack Titan when Danny totaled it in a roll over and the other Mack Titan would of been traded in on Truck #102 

 

Truck #99 and Truck #102 are both Cat Trucks 

 

Truck #98 and Truck #104 are the only two trucks that haven't been Cat Trucks yet ever since they've bought Truck #97 

 

Truck #96 would be the last Western Star that the Pelletiers would of bought and Truck #96 is newer version of Big Foot 

 

Truck #96 was bought brand new back in 2012 for Lester Dube and is still driven by Lester Dube to this day

 

Steve Gilman also still drives his Black Freightliner that he drove on the show to this day as well, Too 

 

The Black Freightliner is Truck #75 in the Pelletier Fleet  

 

They also still have both of the one single stack Western Stars to this day as well, Too, There's also two older Western Stars, Truck #60 and Truck #65 that the Pelletiers still have to this day as well, Too, But, They're both currently hauling low beds now, All the older Mack's are still in the fleet to this day as well, Too 

 

The use to be a Black Western Star 4900FA that was Truck #72 that was seen many times in the show, The Black Western Star 4900FA also still remains in the fleet to this day as well, Too 

 

 There also use to be a twin to Bone Crusher's old Western Star that he had before he got his Mack Titan that was driven by Jason Nice the first two seasons of the show and driven by the Preacher in the third season of the truck that also still remains in the fleet to this day as well, Too, Which would be Truck #79 

 

The three little pigs is Truck #85 which still remains in the fleet to this day 

Big Foot is Truck #80 which is another truck that still also remains in the fleet to this day as well, Too 

Truck #77, Truck #78, Truck #84 and Truck #86 still remain in the fleet to this day as well, Too

What do they run now for new rides.

 

Ever since they've bought Truck #97 they've bought alot of Cat Trucks 

 

Truck #98 and Truck #104 are the only two trucks that haven't been Cat Trucks so far since they've bought Truck #97  

 

The rookie that they called the Preacher during the third season of show would of eventually came back some time after the show was done and would ended up driving Truck #92 while Danny Pelletier was on leave for a little while and not to long after Danny Pelletier had returned Truck #92 was totaled in another roll over

 

I am also aware that Eric LeBeau actually originally started off driving The same light blue Western Star that the preacher was driving during the third season of the show before he got Truck #91 after Danny Pelletier got out of Truck #91

 

A rookie by the name of Reg Adams would of been the last one to have Truck #91 before it got traded in 

 

Reg Adams would of later got Truck #94 after Truck #91 was traded in and I believe Reg Adams currently has Truck #98 right now which would be a silver Kenworth W-900 with maroon fenders and a small sleeper 

[WesternStar96]

I also forgot to say that the two one single stack Western Stars is Truck #54 and Truck #66 and now that I actually think of it there's a third one which would be Truck #52  

 

Truck #52 currently hauls low bed as of right now as well, Too 

 

I also know that they still have Truck #48, Truck #55, Truck #61, Truck #62 and Truck #67 which are all Western Stars and are all currently hauling low beds now

 

Truck #51, Truck #53 and Truck #63 were the last three Mack RD-800's that were bought for the fleet in which all still remain in the fleet to this day 

 

Truck #36, Truck #37, Truck #38, Truck #39, Truck #42, Truck #43, Truck #44, Truck #56, Truck #57, Truck #58 and Truck #59 were all older Mack CL-Series that were bought for the fleet in which all still remain in the fleet to this day as well, Too 

 

Truck #30 was also a Mack RD-690 that would of been traded in on Truck #69 quite a while 

 

Truck #40 and Truck #41 were also both Ford LTL-9000's that would of all been traded in on Truck #70 and Truck #71 quite a while back 

 

Truck #20, Truck #27 and Truck #35 were all also Kenworth's that would of been traded in on Truck #68, Truck #74 and Truck #79 quite a while back as well, Too

 

And I also remember Truck #2 being a Mack Cabover that would of been swapped in on Truck #30 way back in the day       

 

Truck #48 came in with a batch of three other Western Star 4900FA's, The other three Western Star 4900FA's would of been Truck #47, Truck #49 and Truck #50

 

This particular batch of Western Stars would of been the very first four Western Star 4900FA's that the Pelletier's would of bought for the fleet and out of the four trucks, Truck #48 would be the only one to remain in the fleet to this day 

 

Truck #47, Truck #49 and Truck #50 would of all been traded in shortly before the show had started filming on the three problematic cat engine 2008 Western Star trucks during the third season of the show

 

Truck #50 would of been the first one to go out of the three particular Western Star 4900FA's and it would of been traded in on Truck #81 

 

Truck #49 would of been traded in on Truck #82 and Truck #47 would of been the last one to go and would of been traded in on Truck #83 

 

The original Truck #66 that was a Kenworth would of been traded in on Truck #87 some time during the second season of the show 

 

And Truck #73 would of also been traded in some time during the second season of the show on Truck #86

International is the base for the CAT trucks that they are running.  Not much of a leap to go with Navistar products.

It must of had happened recently since the last time I talked to them than... 

 

I actually live an hour north and a half of the Pelletiers, But, I do talk to the Pelletiers quite frequently 

 

It doesn't surprise me that they traded in Big Foot though, The Pelletiers talked about either possibly finally trading in Big Foot and the Three Little Pigs this year or possibly trading in the other truck that Lester Dube had got shortly the show got done 

 

If Big Foot was traded in like seen here that means the Three Little Pigs isn't to far behind it

[james j neiweem]

Sweet lookin IH. What are the specs.

 

[james j neiweem]

Yo Volvo: IH has figured out how to put a big bore under the hood.

[Maxidyne]

It's already been done, the CL and Titan used the current Mack cab and the plans and probably tooling are still around. Problem is that Volvo doesn't want to offer their 16 liter engine in such low volumes and doesn't want Cummins competing with their own engines.

[james j neiweem]

I believe you can get an X15 in a Volvo.

[Maxidyne]

Which means it fits the same chassis Mack uses. But Volvo wants to funnel "their" customers into buying a Volvo with a Volvo engine and transmission, and if the customer insists on a Cummins engine Volvo will punish them with a Volvo cab. Volvo's business plan is to push the customer into buying a Volvo with Volvo powertrain, keep it on a short lease via online tracking and reprogramming, keep it coming back to the dealer for service with extended warranties, and make it so unreliable and expensive to repair that it's traded in on another one after only five years and scrapped before it's ten years old.

Obviously letting the customer buy a Mack with a cab that will last at least two decades and Cummins engine and Eaton transmission that can be affordably serviced anywhere is a threat to Volvo's business plan.

Here are picture's of it a year later after the accident and after it was swapped in on the very first cat truck 

 

 

[WesternStar96]

Here are the two trucks that were swapped in on the two Mack Titan's back in 2009 

Sorry the picture quality isn't the best, But, In my defense the picture was taken out the window of a vehicle at the Mack Dealer

So anybody know what is going on with all their stuff for auction? Are they still in business? Seems odd they are selling the shop too.

[james j neiweem]

And they just bought a new IH
