Green Dash Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 My name is Hal Morris. I worked for Mack Trucks in the summer of 1960 as a "common laborer" 4-12 swing shift. I may have helped build some of your antique trucks. My Dad worked for Mack Trucks 1940-1961 and did not transfer to Hagerstown. It was difficult times for our family and the Plainfield area. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who worked there at that time.Welcome aboard.It must have been very hard for your Dad to start over after 21 years of service for one company. What did he do next? Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20028-mack-factory-plainfield-nj-pics/page/3/#findComment-278173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 There is a thread on Allentown factories somewhere on here with many photos. I think I started it but I wouldn't know how to find it. I guess you may be able tosearch Allentown factories. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/34219-mack-trucks-the-facilities/?hl=plainfield#entry226401 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20028-mack-factory-plainfield-nj-pics/page/3/#findComment-278211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Niebergall Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I grew up just across the street from the Mack Building on Everett Place . (1959-1977)Moved out when I got married in 1977. My mom and grandma were there many more years . I also worked in a part of the building when I worked for Knickerbocker Toys. There was an assembly line for some of their products. Loved growing up there. It was the beat 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20028-mack-factory-plainfield-nj-pics/page/3/#findComment-449150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
