Green Dash Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Excellent, thanks for posting!HOWEVER, the caption under what appears to be one of the gold "Maxidyne 300" promotional tractors says it's a Western with a Detroit Diesel. I belive that is an R-700 hood latch in the photo. I guess we can let that slide considering how awesome the fleet is and how much time has passed.

Green Dash Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I see now that the hood latch is in fact attached to the fender (not the side of the hood) making it a 600. Thank heavens the caption is incorrect.

maxidyne237 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I wouldnt mind having that one! A R700 with a 318 is on the list. Im surprised that it has a 15spd and not a 13.

Maddog13407 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 don't they still have an old R?

2stacksuperdog Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 While were on the topic of old trucking companys, Does anybody remember Lopez Trucking out of Rhode Island or Massachuesetts. They had all Brockways with V12s and they hauled flatbeds up and down 95.
