Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2013 There was a time when America's truckmakers led the world in technology. The Europeans were clearly behind us in every aspect of truck design. America's most cutting edge truckmaker, Mack Trucks, for decades put the world on notice that U.S. heavy truck design was second to none.And yet look at where we stand today. For a country in which trucking figures so prominently, it is a tragedy that all the trucks on the roads of America today, with the exception of Navistar and Paccar, are produced by the Germans and Swedes. It is a national disgrace that America no longer has the ability to compete and lead in our own domestic truck market.We are the greatest nation in the world, and yet we have allowed our trucking industry to be sold out to and controlled by the Europeans. If our industrial might and abilty for cutting edge innovation is now resigned to the history books, we should all take lessons in humility. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 those are some impressive trucks any idea what the specs are on them.Keep the pics and history lessons coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The whole country is going to hell and it is a shame we let Mack go to ...that other company...Anyway on a brighter note those are amazing machines. We aught to rescue them some how and get them under a roof and able to make some black smoke again. We should start a fund! Easier said than done but cutting those up would be a shame. I'd toss in a few bucks to make them safe and ours.Its a thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvam Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Perfect timing! I have been looking for something to replace my Subaru Outback for commuting to work. No need to worry about weather, traffic with these trucks.These trucks are very cool. Are you going to try and get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 45LMSWM Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Kscarbel2,Please DO NOT POST other people's pictures without their permission. The bottom picture is mine, copied from my Flickr page. Save them all if you want to, post a link to them, fine. No problem. But do not directly post without permission.Even worse, the first pic is my brothers and has been pirates from Hanks Truck Pictures and the water mark has been removed. That's wrong.Thank you,John Pearson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that you intentionally put these wonderful pictures of America’s trucking history into the public domain, I’m at a loss as to why you are upset that someone thought to share this pictorial history with the wonderful members of this forum who value our country’s truck history I’m sure as much as you. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 45LMSWM Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Kscarbel...More of a point that you should credit the person who took the photos. And you removed the credit from the first picture. Why would you remove the photgrapher's name and repost it?-John Pearson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cropped the pictures so as to present the best image of the trucks themselves (with less distracting peripheral area around the trucks), what people on this forum are the most interested in. We all appreciate you taking these photographs of stunning examples of American heavy truck engineering. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DailyDiesel Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Techinically when a photo is posted on Flickr the poster of the photo owns the rights, it is not considered public domain unless otherwise stated by the owner.

Popular Post bullhusk Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 OK GEEEEZ are we gonna turn this site into a freakin DEM. Washington DC S_ _T hole just stop all this cause before ya know it we will have a problem on this Mack site with all this liberal hootin an howlin and before ya know it Barry will be forced to shut it down! So don't say I didn't warn ya! And yes I have seen this before and it starts out like this and it never ends well for the people who value this site for the fun and info it was meant for in the 1'st place! Before ya know it next month someone is gonna say something about 'Marry Christmas everyone'I respect everyones rights but this is a Mack Truck web site for guys with trucks and ones with out, to have some conversation with out any monetary gain! So I'm sorry if anyone is offended cause It was not my intentionThanks BULLHUSK 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rsb502 Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 I agree with Bull, if we can't keep it easy going it won't last. In my opinion if you don't want someone to share your pic, don't put it on the internet. I grant permission to anyone here to use any pictures I have taken and posted to this site, and you don't have to credit me for taking a picture of a truck its something I like to do. 1 4 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDiesel Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I feel the same 84Superdog and I've said the same thing about my photos.I run my website because it's something I like to do, it's my hobby. I watermark my photos simply to direct a few visits back to my site if and when the photos get out there. I probably would be a little P.O. if someone cropped out my name when it would only take a moment or two to mention where the photo came from. Oh, and one more thing...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

rsb502 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think somebody needs to go save one of those trucks and get it back on the road to some shows, I vote MHE9 (Ray) to do it, hes close enough and he already has a detach to haul it home!
