Brocky Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I have my show registration on the Pony Express and have a room in Cortland reserved.. Can I look for some of you to visit with??? Remember to keep the Mack logos undercover.. Some of the older die hard Brockway people still do NOT accept that Mack shut them down!!!! 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74336-whos-going-to-the-brockway-weekend/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I never drove a Brockway truck but I hauled a lot of lumber from Drake's Branch, Va. to Cortland. It was a 9hr. trip in that 9400 International I was driving. I always liked that run, especially after you passed the 81/78 split and kept on up 81 north, it was pretty up through there and not much traffic. I'd get off of 81 at some exit, turn left and go into town, then turn right somewhere to get to the lumber treating place. The best part was they'd unload you early in the morning. I'd get unloaded about 6am but there wouldn't be anybody in the office at headquarters until 8, so I'd go back south a couple of exits to a little diner that had plenty of parking and have breakfast. It was either the pizza omelette or pancakes, every time. The pancakes were as big as the plate they were on, and delicious! The pizza omelette had about everything you'd get on a pizza- sausage, pepperoni, peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc- and it was delicious. That was many years ago. The last time I was up that way the diner wasn't even there anymore. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post mechohaulic Posted July 12 Popular Post Share Posted July 12 have high hopes of making the 4 hr trip to Cortland this year. last year was worth the drive. this year things a little different; don't/can't plan too far ahead for such events. missed Deerfield/ Bethlehem / Macug Pa/ and Brooklyn this yr. basically didn't make one show. meeting Bob(mowerman)last yr there made the drive / show a real positive. will see how things are when day closer. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74336-whos-going-to-the-brockway-weekend/#findComment-555080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt kind of bad that I didn't really get to hang out with Bob at Macungie as much as I would have liked to, but on the other hand if I had and he had gotten as sick as I was I would have felt terrible. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Same here, Tom, but it’s hard to mingle and look at trucks and I was trying to see as much as I could two full days. It still wasn’t enough, but thanks for the thoughts….

mowerman Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 As I mentioned before jumpers kid told me you spend most of your time bullshitting with everybody, which is fine. That’s half the reason I go there too too bad we don’t live closer. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74336-whos-going-to-the-brockway-weekend/#findComment-555132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davehummell Posted July 13 Popular Post Share Posted July 13 A couple of years ago the three of us went up to the Brockway Museum it was very nice I ask about the show and said maybe I would come up with my B model and the lady looked at me like I killed someone she said we don't want your truck up here don't show up with it. I guess they have a strong opinion about Brockway's I drove a triaxle Brock with a 318 dd and a 13 speed hauled a lot of stone with the truck. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74336-whos-going-to-the-brockway-weekend/#findComment-555139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
