kscarbel2 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I can now join the ANTI VOLVO crowd. I was just informed that Volvo "has obsoleted" Cruiseliners from their data base. Meaning Mack cant look up anything by the VIN. Thanks AGAIN VolvoNow, now, you're developing a bad attitude. According to MackLegacy, you should be grateful to Volvo Group for taking over an American icon and reducing it to little more than a Mack brand nameplate on a North American Volvo truck platform.If you keep this up, he'll quickly accuse you of "breeding negativity" on this website against savior Volvo Group.Next, MackLegacy will take a poll about you and try to figure out why your attitude towards Mack brand owner Volvo is so poor:1. He/she used to work for Mack and was fired for a poor attitude.2. His/her job was lost in the move from Allentown (this would be truly sad and the only good reason in the list to be upset)3. A Mack truck ran over his/her favorite dog as a child.4. Doesnt have anything better to do and is a grouch.Related reading: http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/2094-is-volvo-good-or-bad-for-mack-trucks/You might want to save his posts though, because he has this odd habit of deleting them soon after.

Bob Dwyer bought it in 1990 at a time when an IRS rules change forced Mack to begin selling its factory-owned branches.I'll say it again because I can't say it enough...............The factory-owned branches of Mack Trucks deserve special mention. From Atlanta to Richmond to Dallas, from Denver to Salt Lake City to Seattle, from Chicago (both the Wentworth Ave. and O'Hare branches) to Buffalo to Queens, no truckmaker in the history of the United States ever had a finer and more capable sales and after-sales support network than Mack Trucks. The Mack factory branches, I feel, set the benchmark for the entire industry. I can't say enough good things about the dedicated Mack men and women who made it possible. Job well done. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41370-volvo-what-are-they-good-for/page/3/#findComment-301521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well I just finished a 1100 mile RT out I-84/80 to western PA towing a tandem U haul 6 x 12 open top to pick up a 1500 pd. Land Pride power rake. The fools at Uhaul still have the ban on renting to Explorers so I could not use the wifes 2010 Explorer 4.6 3V/6 speed with 7300 lb factory tow package. instead I borrowed no 1 son's 2005 F-150 crew, 5.4, 167,000 miles. Old girl did great- over 14 mpg, AC never skipped a beat and if you had her up to say 2100 RPM when you hit the big grades, did a good job of holding OD before it would jump out of OD.Now may be my imagination, but it did seem, the truck most likely struggling on some of those long grades, just happened to be a Volvo. Must be most Volvo operators tend to load to a higher GCW than operators of other makes???

Nobody454 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 this 2001 Volvo is not any good for turning left. he just had to make the light at the end of the ramp...ooppps. ended up on its side on the guardrail. the non English speaking driver only cared about if we could deliver the load after we unloaded his destroyed 2015 trailer Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41370-volvo-what-are-they-good-for/page/3/#findComment-302844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
