My Granddad drove nothing but Macks, started off in a solid tire, chain drive, dual drive '26 AC. I have a picture from 1930 when the guys took fleet pics in front of the company trucks and one of my Grandma hamming it up behind the wheel. He thought they were the only brand of real purpose built trucks and called his own son a sissy for driving a KW, haaa! Thankfully he didn't live long enough to see automatics in Volvos or people washing their feet in rest stop sinks become commonplace, he'd have some choice words for sure.

I'm from PA, and they use to make em in Allentown, PA, but ever since Volvo took over, it's sucked the toughness out of that brand. First company I drove for had a 2013 Mack that dumped all of its oil on the ground the first week I was in it. The second had DPF problems 2 weeks in a row. Finally they put me in a Kenworth with a cummins and that thing was much more reliable. Then the dicks took me out of that and put me in a natural gas volvo and that's when I quit to go elsewhere.

Back in Quincy, the only "other" ride they could offer me was -- again -- a "one-and-only" unit, a Superliner turned-in by a lease driver who hauled "swingin' beef" to the West Coast in the "Monfort" lane! I took it "in a blink"... Thanks, Mike, for always making my day (and night!!)...

Drove R-models for 14 years. Our 12 spds had a short stick for the deep reduction. I think they moved it up to the dash a few years after our newest R (86?). 350 & 12 spd was a good setup for flatbedding, I could almost keep up with the "big hammers" of the day. I especially enjoyed going up through the gears while backing up, proving what a big rigger I was...In '98 they put me in an air ride 454 CH, then I knew I was a big rigger!

You should mount another engine brake switch on side of the gear lever so you can turn your engine brake on and off quicker and easier without having to take your hand off the gear stick and grope around on the dash for it. That way you can use it to decelerate the engine quicker in an upshift too if you want. Just run two wires down your gear stick and join them to the two wires at the other switch in behind the dash, so you have two switches wired in parallel. I drove a Mack with a twelve speed like that for years and it worked great. Our head mechanic worried if it ever shorted out and sparked on the gearstick it might cause arcing inside the transmission, so I made sure it was really really well insulated and I was allowed to keep it like that. When I left the company it only took me a minute to unplug my wires and remove my switch and the rig was back to its original condition again.

Thanks for the shifting tutorial. Those Mack 12-speeds sure are a different animal. Buddy of mine had one behind an E9 in an '89 Superliner. Always thought it was interesting how they need to be split while making the shift, rather than pre-selecting like on a typical Eaton 13/15/18-speed. I think the reason a lot of drivers shift them with the jake brake on is to reduce the amount of time in between shifts...you can play a hand of cards or take a bite of your sandwich in between shifts, especially with the 5-speed Maxitorque transmissions...lol

I'm largely a "Mack guy" by circumstance (although I must have imprinted early because a photo of me from back when I was 11 or 12 years old shows me assembling an AMR "R685ST" 2/25 scale kit) because I did my commercial licence road test (Class A here in Ontario, Canada) on a late 1970's R model with the Mack 12 speed (and all-Mack powertrain including camelback suspension and top loader axles), then went on to drive for J&F Trucking which was a flatbed carrier based in Ajax, Ontario that ran an all-Mack fleet. Mostly R600's with a few F models and Superliners, one MH Ultraliner and later some CH series tractors. I left over the road trucking back in 1997 and went to work for a welding company, they had an F800 (Ford) and International S2600 boom trucks. But even they later added a Mack to the fleet - 2002 CX613 aka Mack Vision tractor!
