bulldogboy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was on the island of St. Maarten a few weeks ago. For a small island there were quite a few Mack trucks; "R", "CH", "DM", and" Granite" models. They weremostly tractors and dump trucks. No Mack fire trucks but the French side, St. Martin, had several fire trucks built on Renault chassis. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24226-st-maarten/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more Mack than any other heavy truck that was american built. I also remember the Renault trucks as they were also common.We were there on a cruise and visited St. Maarten for a "port of call" had a lot of fun once they let me on the sailboat. There was conversation due to my size and they didn't seem to want me to go.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Mack is definitely the truck of choice on every Carribean Island I have been to. IH and Ford (Sterling) are distant 2nd and 3rd. Surprising not many Autocars. St. Maarten is about our favorite Island. Joe D.

Rob Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 They tell you to keep in the middle and don't look over the side as you may over load the one side?It was an open bow and with they had me and "Momma" in the front and eight others in the back offsetting the weight. We were in the middle come to think of it. They spoke french so was hard for me to understand.Rob 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

bulldogboy Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 And the photos are where?Was it a vacation or for work - you werent exporting nice macks were you? Ha!Still on St. Maarten. The only thing I do worse than photography is trying to post pictures online. Close your eyes and think about what white Mack"R"s and "Granites" look like and there's your photos. It was a vacation; took a walk on Orient Beach!!bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24226-st-maarten/#findComment-112210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
