MackMann85 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I heard from a buddy that works at Mack they just got an order for over 400 trucks from UPS. Looks like Mack might finish the year strong! Plus more workers are being called back to the Macungie plant which is always good.Long live the bulldog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus more workers are being called back to the Macungie plant which is always good.Long live the bulldogUPS ordered 250 which have to be delivered by Thanksgiving. Another 250 are possible. We are still building Chrysler trucks, they had multiple orders, the latest are going to Canada. ComCar ordered 99 CXU's. There are a number of DOT's ordering Granites. We're building alot of sleepers right now. NYC is supposed to order some garbage trucks this year. We've also been building some Titan's lately.Next Monday the rest of the new people start. The plant is busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upsman Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I wonder what units will be retired? CH's, Sterlings, Visions Cornbinders or a mix. probably some of our baby cornbinders and our million and a half mile CH's. I wish it was this crappy three year old pinnacle I drive. It spends two months a year at Mack on recall issues. We haven't seen any new trucks come in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Does it look like a very busy peak season? When I heard the news of the big UPS order I thought that business might be picking up, but maybe they're just replacing the old baby binders, etc.?

When I heard the news of the big UPS order I thought that business might be picking up, but maybe they're just replacing the old baby binders, etc.? I went to my local Mack dealer a few months ago to get an oil change and they went to checking if it had any recall items. They said there were issues with the headlight switchs on some CXs mine wasn't on the list I asked what year models were effected and the guy told me all of the CXUs...volvo wiring harness I said. Cheapening the brand... 1 Quote THE GREATEST NAME IN TRUCKS MACK TRUCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granitefan713 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 We are currently building 79 more CXU's for Pitt Ohio.I swung by the plant this past Sunday, and was glad to see the amount of trucks there, much more than I remember seeing the past few years. I also spotted a new CXU for NEMF the other day, that looked sharp. Quote http://www.flickr.com/photos/granitefan713/-Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 We have ordered 25 trucks for stock, thats the most our store have ever ordered for stock in the 22 years i'v been here. Sure hope were not setting on them for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhasler Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 When the '07 engines came out we ordered something like 20 trucks and I think we ended up with 10-12 sitting for over a year. Hopefully the '10 engines hold up and sell a lot better! 1 Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Covert Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 All of the new Macks that were supposed to go to Lexington, Ky actually ended up in Sharonville Ohio. They put in a DEF tank in Sharonville at a cost of 60k, so UPS wouldn't put in a tank in Lexington. We got the old Internationals from them.I would rather drive my old CH till the wheels fall off.

Mack 3P Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 A few big orders going on. UPS ordered 50 more trucks, ABF ordered 300 more, and PittOhio orderd 70 more. Some larger export orders 30 GU's to Saudi Arabia, and 70 to Chili on top of what has already been built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
