Popular Post PeterMack Posted May 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2015 Corn products off I 55 by summit are they still slow as molasses unloading there or did they get faster since the 1980 sJust depends on how bad they want the corn. If they have a train to unload they'll let you sit there, or if their bins are getting full.Still a-holes down there though. I have a picture of my Dad's first black Mack on the lift. Was probably taken in the early eighties.I have two pictures I took in 2010. The dump is in the exact same spot, but about three years ago they took out the truck lift/scaleand paved over that. They put the new scale way before the dump now. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/90/#findComment-289001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take wheat and still use the lifts. The only guys that use them are the TTI trucks.Usually all Pete's with covered wagons out of Wis that bring wheat down and take steel back. They have side kits in the flat beds with doorson the back that open so they can tip the trailers. I've been to the Cargill across from the casino in Hammond but they just have regulardumps there.

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted May 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2015 Saw this RD and a couple new Pinnacles with interesting paint schemes down at Mack of Chicago in Summit. I really like how the logo was painted on and had some pin striping. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/90/#findComment-289137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted May 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2015 Was down in the city the last two days battling fog and traffic. Saw a few Macks while I was there. All Prairie trucks. I took pictures of threeand there were 10 I missed. Also saw a big crane on a barge, a ton of traffic, and the Trump building while I was sitting on upper Wacker DR.Was warm and sunny today so there was some decent scenery to look at, but I couldn't gawk too much because I had to watch out for peoplewho seem all to willing to step out in front of a truck or walk into the side of a trailer. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/90/#findComment-289149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 What where you hauling to the city in the bags topsoil or brick mixTopsoil. The building where I was going has a $250,000 landscaping budget per corner of the building. So, I guess with that kind of moneymight at well take out the old dirt and put in new.Looks a little scary the way the crane is picking those two pallets up.Ehh, just gotta stand back and cross your fingers. They all made it off my trailer, was a good day 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/90/#findComment-289582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted May 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2015 Al reminded everybody about the Maggio's/ATHS truck show this coming Saturday on the events/shows section and I will here.All are welcome to come out. Old, new, any make or model, just come on out. And don't worry about any scratches in the paintor anything else. Hose the bugs off and bring the trucks out. Its all for fun. A couple years ago I brought all my trucks and mybosses two Macks. A B and an LJ. I brought five trucks to the show. Two Pete's and three Mack's. Had to find a couple drivers,but I managed. Going to try to bring a couple this year, hopefully the weather holds. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/90/#findComment-289585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
