Bullheaded Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The contractor I am hauling for was always all Cat, but they bought a Mack/Deere/Volvo equipment dealer. So the first new Volvo loader just showed up today. Check out the humpback on that thing! I guess you don't need to see anything but the camera. And I don't know if they are that good, or if it's the sales incentives, but Mack Anthem's have taken over the highway up here. They are the majority truck I see all day now. All the big fleets that were running Volvo's have now bought Anthem's. And I see them pulling heavy 5 axle tankers, live bottom trailers, wood chip trailers, etc. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62684-anthems-and-a-big-volvo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Saw another Anthem today. I used to work for the sister company of this fleet years ago.

Mack Technician Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 They are a humpty unit with the box style exhaust process up high right behind the cab and direct couple between engine and trans. Short’n fat. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62684-anthems-and-a-big-volvo/#findComment-452211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
