Popular Post mack mhe9 Posted December 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2013 This old Autocar passed me in Hartford Ct. Bad pics for a nice truck.Then I got to go to a job site and while waiting for my chance to back down I look over and what do I see.A heavy haul CL from daily transport.Then I got to back down to the dam. Gilboa NY. Got a counter weight.That was tues. morn then it started to snow so when it stopped at 4 pm they say well we will load you tomarrow and that created a lot of problems for me for the rest of the week.Didn't get many photos cause for the next two day I averaged 2100 miles in 48 hrs. Don't do the math I doesn't work. This was done buy a professional driver on a closed road course.Loaded that counter weight to Carlise Pa then loaded a fuel tank in Mt union Pa for Boston Ma. Then loaded a container with machine parts for Lexington Oh for 7 am fri morning. Un loaded the container then took it to Cincinnati. Then took a napDid get to see a few trucks. A superliner pulling a dozer in Ct. And a cabover KW with some custom headlight. And a R in MA. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack mhe9 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 The Acar was pulling a black race car trailer like the NASCAR teams have. Had a small British flag on the back in the corner. You could tell it was well taken care of. I don't think it was used for making money, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmeitz Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The Manitowoc on the Daily truck and the counterweight you picked up belong to the crane rental company that I'm the NE Area Sales Manager for.

I hauled to Dailys yard in Carlie Pa. I stay with the easy stuff. I'd like to try the heavy junk but don't have the equipment to move it. And don't want to buy it at my age.

Maddog13407 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 yup 990v off 30. we take that route a lot just for a sunday drive. there is a Harley bar on the other side of the dam on 990v that looks over the waterfalls that lead to the dam actually. and if you take 990v all the way around the hill you end up up the road from Oldmacks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
