Joey Mack Posted yesterday at 12:25 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:25 AM I remember seeing drivers in nice slacks, shirt and jacket and wearing a tye. And it wasnt the milk man.. drivers kept themselves neat and orderly when i was a kid. But im not old enough to know more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49946-the-mack-worth/page/2/#findComment-571102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM that's the challenge for us old folk ;; WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO know more then that. words can't explain . didn't need to be a shirt and tie ;; it was the positive attitude . I drive every day on I-84 in ct. parts are which are 3-4 lane. there are tractor trailers in 2nd lane going up hill lower then posted speed (65 mph) while 3/4 th lane empty !!! NO ONE CARES . not patting myself on back ;; BUT yrs back couple of disabled trucks were repaired by stopping and assisting. no $$ just "gettum going' 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49946-the-mack-worth/page/2/#findComment-571103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family/ friends, even the food we eat!! speaking of proud moments and helping a Friend== passing by a truck I knew well , hood open side of the road. there stood Mr. Moffo Sr. short version =I stopped : cummins no start; as with many things of the day (no computer) a simple turning of pump screw to bypass electrical shut off got things running. payment = = a hand shake and Thank You, from a Man so respected by me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49946-the-mack-worth/page/2/#findComment-571122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted yesterday at 01:43 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:43 PM I stopped for a broke down truck northbound 99 Manteca some of you probably know where that is. This was about 30 years ago young kid just started accelerator spring broke. All I did was Ben the spring a bit . It was still hanging there and hook it back on. The kid was standing there scratching his head. Oh my God you’re a magician it took longer to tilt the nose aaaaaaaaahhhhh the good old days 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49946-the-mack-worth/page/2/#findComment-571126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted yesterday at 02:05 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:05 PM No, that was the fastest repair. I think I’ve ever done in my life in fact back then that was way before I even owned a computer or a cell phone. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49946-the-mack-worth/page/2/#findComment-571131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
