doughboy1956 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth As of yet, I have not had the pleasure of driving a Mack or Kenworth. Hope to someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth My dad has a fleet of Internationals so I have to go that way! My dad has some KW's though too and a few Macks but we have International dealers nearby so it makes it nice when repairs and maintenance is needed!

Hoosierbuck Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth I always figured KW's were the the bomb. I've ridden in lots of trucks, and it could be the guys with the KW's just took better care of them so they were nicer rides to the jobs.

VermontHunter Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth As long as it's got a nice BIG KITTY CAT in it,, it really doesn't matter.... But with the choice of those 2 I would be more apt to lean towards the Kenworth.... as long as it came with the 9 speed eaton, instead of the 13 speed....

GWSmith Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth When driving local in Florida I drove the Mack CH600. Good tractor for short hauls with very few repairs...rough ride but tough tractor! Drove OTR with a Company out of North Little Rock Arkansas and they had W900 Kenworth double sleepers....Sweet long haul tractor with plenty of room and enough horses to make the hills in Tennessee feel like bumps instead of mountains. Of the 2 choices given: Local hauls...Mack Long OTR hauls...Kenworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leatherneck Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth when I was driving, I drove Freight shakers, KW's and Pete's. I would have to say the KW's and Petes are my fovorite!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth A Mack truck especially pulling gravel trains here in Michigan just looks tough!! If your not familiar with the term "trains" its (2) trailers together. In Michigan you can have up to 8 axles on the road! They carry some big loads around here. Peterbilts are classy looking trucks and have alot of "show" in them as do Western Stars. As for powerplants, Detroit Diesels, Caterpillars, and even Cummins have some nice choices. Any more fuel economy is the biggest thing when picking a truck and the powerplant in it. BTW: If guys want to see a cool show, watch "Trick My Truck" on CMT. They do some cool things to trucks.....rolling show piece when they get done with them! Check that show out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth as a friend of mine used to say: "Peterbilt a truck for a man to drive!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: Mack or Kenworth I'd take the Kenworth over the Mack.....but I'd prefer a Western Star to any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
