james j neiweem Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If Mack USA had the independence that Mack Australia has it would be a good thing. Volvo has the dog on a choker collar over here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Why doesn't mack USA offer a nice big sleeper likes those on the titans here ? It would be a big hit in CanadaYep they would be a big hit in Canada......If Mack felt there was enough of a market share to gain in building them.....It took almost 4 years to get Mack to build a less then 40" sleeper onto the Titan. When I spoke to Mack Canada's marketing man about sleepers on Titans a year after the release that was his answer. "Not enough money to be made in that market segment". God forbid you build a big heavy truck with a sleeper you can do more then rest your head in. Meanwhile every KW, Pete, Western Star, and Freightliner go by here hauling heavy with an average of a 60" midrise sleeper on them. Mills Heavy Haul from Halifax Nova Scotia mounted a 60" slightly customized midrise on a Titan. He has blown the doors off me a few times passing through Ontario. It looks beautiful. It took a customer to do it on his own.This is as good as it gets in North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well let me see. If you are not in the market segment at all does that mean your not making any money in that segmant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I love how lots of Australian Macks have the Bulldog mudflaps on the double humps. Does anyone know the dimensions of them? I can't find any hear. Was wondering if I could order some from there. Though I see them in white. I would lke black with the white Bulldog logo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
