PK htiw klaw eriF Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Well it's expected to freeze in two days so I'm trying to prep for that (and the likely infrastructure failures that accompany) while juggling work commitments.

Keyrock Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I got put in a new truck today, a 2022 Mack Anthem. The 2019 Freightliner Cascadia I had previously was fine, but this truck is a definite upgrade. I'd still take a Volvo as my top choice, but a Mack is a dang nice consolation prize. 5 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenworths are just worse Peterbilts. Volvos are great, I don't care what anyone says. I'm pretty sure Mack is owned by Volvo, so they share some DNA.
