  • This is a video of my first day working for A. Cardillo & Sons of Waltham,Ma. on 7/8/14. The truck I was suppose to be assigned to, a beautiful 2003 T-800 Kenworth was getting some work done to it so instead of me staying home, my Boss borrowed this R-Model Mack from the Cannizzo Bros. of Lexington,Ma who are legends in the construction business around here. My first day went well and I even learned some new things.

      That was the first time I drove a Mack 12 speed so I didn't know what I was doing like I didn't know I could put it in a higher gear when dumping.

      Damn straight. The 350 Mack will out pull a 400 Cummins because Maxidyne engines have flat torque curves by design.

    Man that baby sounds SEEEEXXXXXYYYYYYYY!!! The pump must either be low volume or worn out. Damn that was slow. I have hauled a dump bucket, a smooth bore tanker, Bulk Tank and a lowboy , with an R model. Best truck ever build. Tough as Jail House cornbread. Thanks for sharing Driver.

    Both my grand father's drove Mack
    R models and my dad worked on them!.. I LOVE this body ...it takes me back to my childhood everytime I see one ... the sweet old days, I used to run around the shop yard with like 50 of these trucks everywhere ... used to climb up and down on them and get greasy on purpose lol

      Heck yeah man. My grandfather drove an R model for Chemical Leaman Tank Lines. Then my Uncle owned and drove an R model for his 1 man company hauling a coal bucket here in rural south-western PA before he passed away. Seeing any old R model brings back nostalgic memories!

    • @TheBostonTrucker
      @TheBostonTrucker  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Let me explain. This was my first time ever driving a Mack 12 speed 8 years ago. I was self taught. As you probably know with a 12 speed, when you're dumping, you can put it in high gear and the body will go up fast, no one told me this before hand so I had it in low gear, that's why it went up so slow.
