Greg, those Macks should make very good trucks for you! Most of that series were pretty well built trucks. They probably run at least, lol. I think we finally got our one new Peterbilt back, but I don't know for sure, haven't been up to the main garage in a while. We had a brand new Peterbilt delivered this summer. Some days it would start, some days it wouldn't. It has made 8 or 10 trips back to the dealer, until they declare it's finally fixed, and then we go over to get it an hour and a half away and it won't start. Or we bring it home and it won't start the next day. I know they've changed a lot of stuff on it, sensors, ecm, wiring, fuel stuff, each time declaring it's fixed. No check engine light or codes though. Well allegedly it's fixed now, they said there was a crack in the stainless steel fuel/hydraulic tank behind the cab, that was allowing hydraulic oil to enter the fuel. I don't know, but I'm not buying that, I'd think it would maybe have some blue smoke when running, but that it would still start. When it ran, it ran great. Who knows though, with all this crazy electronics on new stuff? Now I guess the dealer is involved in a lawsuit with the scraper truck builder, see who can blame who for all the trouble.

In your case with the wood, the public is the worst. They see us as lazy entitled workers. I'm gonna guess most aren't on call 24/7/365, and have never had to go cut trees off roads in the middle of the night in a rainstorm, or plow a path with a V plow down a narrow drifted road in the dark with high winds so an ambulance can get to someone who needs them. The public is funny, they assume because I'm stopped and backed into a farm drive I'm being lazy, I like to call that taking my lunch, but when they take a picture of me on their phone and put it on Facebook, I'm not eating my lunch, I'm "a lazy county worker, sitting in my truck doing nothing". Well, you know how it is sometimes...
