Those are two really awesome looking trucks, Mackman! As I said before your truck has that B-model Mack look which is really cool!

LOL! The new Macks still have that all-in one heat/A-C unit under the dash just like the R models 40 years ago. Nice truck for a Mack. What does it weigh with that steel body?
We'd get $45/hr back in the 80s to haul asphalt. Or run like hell from 7:00 to 3:30 hauling gravel you could make $400-$500/day. Have Tri-axle rates in the NE come up at all since then?

I been hauling out of the quarry. I start at 515am get done around 3-4pm and make around 600-700/day. It depends day to day. One day may make 1,000 and the next make 400. So it all equals out to around 600/day. You can get 80/bucks to do a 20min round trip load. and 135 for a 1hr45min load. SO the closer you run the more you can make. My lightweight is 25,080lbs. In PA i can almost get a 24ton payload. Mack stop doing the AC units like your talking about in 2002. Last model truck to have them was the RD.

Just eat some of them magic mushrooms in the garden and it will look all shiny without having to actually work!
