slpwlker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have seen the Titans out but never seem to be going the right way to see how well I hang with them or they hang with me. Haven't seen them in a while. But hell I haven't been there in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I spotted one of those critters yesterday at the local Mack dealer....CX tractor pulling a landall trailer. I was gonna post the pic and make a poll out of it since I'm not sure what to think....but no need for duplicate threads.1) Sacreligeous2) Oughtta be a law against it3) At least they know who makes the better truck4) Better than a V*lv* running around with Mack letteringWell, that was my progression of thought on the matter....from my gut reaction to seeing it up through thinking about it a little bit. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Green Dash Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The camera is pointed to high to be certain, but I think the guy in the blue shirt is churning butter with his right hand. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This is a typical Volvo ad. Note how the gentleman never identifies himself nor his position. He's just an advertising company employee.In the days of Mack Trucks, a gentleman would speak with credibility, something like this:"Hello! My name is Terry Warmkessel and I'm the product planning director at Mack Trucks"He told you his name and his position in the company, and you could feel that Terry knew what he was talking about.You immediately sensed that he was not only a truck person, but a passionate Mack truck person. To the truck buyer, he had integrity and was believable. He was a hands-on real world person within Mack trucks and you had no doubt about that. By the end of his promotion, he'd gained your respect and you knew that you could confidently weigh his comments in making your truck buying decision.The inclusion of "Global Fleet of Volvo" is no accident. That's a Swedish pride jab, a subtle reminder that Mack now is merely a Volvo Group brand name. My background, from the US to the global market, has allowed me a much broader perspective on Volvo (and the other European truckmakers). Volvo's core allegiance is to Sweden (which is to be expected). Volvo's just in the U.S. for the money, and to get market share towards their dream of being the global no. 1. They don't care about Mack or America. The Mack name is just serving a purpose (for now anyway) towards their goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
