Hopefully 2010 ends up being a good year for the bulldog.Lets hope Mack keeps outselling Volvo. I would love to see the look on the faces of those arrogent Sweed's in their board room when they see the numbers. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

dockmen027 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 What are general specs? S/A or tandem engine/trans. Any "goodies"This purchase should put the total number of Pinnicles since 2008 to almost 800 units, all single axle with the MP7 engine and 10 speed Roadrangers.

granitefan713 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Here are a few pictures I took when I was at Macungie this year. They are nice looking trucks, they just need chrome bumpers, 11R tires, and a radio!.

jaysm35a2 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I love the steering wheel , thats a step above the ones from the 90's and early 2000's. A few years you can buy them at a ABF auction and the cycle will hopefully continue.

bulldog man Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I Figured that ABF Must had either Ordered New trucks or just took delivery on some new trucks.Cause Here lately I'VE Seen a handfull of the ABF CH612 That must be coming out of service they were the ABF Green but had a different name on the door . These Ole ABF were shuttling trailers in a yard down in Memphis.Later yall Quote You Cant Fix Stupid. But You Can Numb It With A Sledgehammer.

rhasler Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I talked to one of our local ABF drivers today. The terminal here hasn't got any of the new trucks assigned to them yet, but they had one here the other day covering for a truck that was down for maintanence. He said he really liked it.

Mackpro Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I talked to a ABF driver that delivers and picks up at our shop and have gotten to know him over the years. He didn't know anything about the big buy. The first thing he said is "How can ABF afford this, they keep telling us were broke". He has 3 years left till retirement and ABF just closed our local treminal. Now he has to drive more than 75 miles one way to work for the next 3 years. He wasn't to happy. I do all the Mack warranty at our shop and for years we always returned the large warranty items back to Mack via ABF. Well about 2 years ago Mack said dont use ABF anymore. Appartley Vitran bought more new Macks or Volvos than ABF did and now we have to use Vitran and our second choice is Yellow Freight. Hopefully with this new ABF purchase we can go back to shipping with them. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14727-mack-makes-large-sale-to-abf/#findComment-61995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrd6bbst Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 What is the difference? the money still goes in Volvos pockets. Volvo / Mack what is the difference they still use Volvo engines disguised as Macks!!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14727-mack-makes-large-sale-to-abf/#findComment-291575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
