Count your blessings James, you’re driving the best trucks ever, these new trucks aren’t for real truck drivers they’re just for steering wheel holders most don’t even have a gear shift 😒
No messing driver, these new trucks are for crap and automatic….. what is that? The “R” models are the bomb. Had a one stack Mack CH 613…. Loved it. You are right no money in Logging got to roll to make tonnage and a decent check for the week Lord forbid if using USED equipment and have a break down. The state ( Alabama) is trying its best to put the independent drivers out of business. Thanks for sharing nice piece of equipment.
@@geraldosteen2357 no offense but back in the 90s the last R model I ever drove was a 300 6 speed air shift and I did heavy oversize and then the company gave me a ch 400 with an 8 speed double low and I hated, after driving R U and F models for over 20 years after those trucks there was no more Macks 😥
Thank you for that. Good video in the Mack you sure Can hit them Gears good bro Looking forward for Video of the Mack log truck hauling logs that was a real good good Camera shot in the cab I really like hearing the old Mack Mack Going through the gears be safe on the road my friend
Thanks, I think everyone will find it interesting. And I’ve got a longer haul video on the way as well. Someone asked for an ASMR style video so I did my best haha
Thanks for the ride. Always enjoy the Mack videos. I've heard people refer to the green mack as a U models and the boxy looking hoods as the Dm models i know you see them as coal truck a lot.
Yeah so these cabs are a U model configuration but the U model is a light duty truck the DM is a heavy truck made for Dump trucks and Mixers these are DM600s Those coal trucks are a DM800
By the way I subscribed to your channel I find myself checking out all your community post of the tractor shows. I like seeing classic tractors. You’re Red, around here we are Orange in Green country haha
