yarnall Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Saw this truck in the coal hills of PA today. It is a Cat, not a Mack. The coal business seems to be doing well up there. Loading one truck after another. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I know they had problems on I-81 same as when they did Green Ridge Street in Scranton. That street is the one Triple Cities Mack is on. They beat where I work Pennsy Supply on quite a few bids last year. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 They have a contract with Allison that is ending.......they agreed to make Allison exclusive in the vocational models, in return they got a cheaper price on them. That's why for a long time it was cheaper to get Allison's in Mack's than most other makes. The M-Drive is coming for Granite's.If you think they won't handle off road, you should check out the 700 h.p. Volvo loggers over seas.
