    Any Mack trucks at FedEx?

    Just one of those dumb thoughts to come along today. In all of your AF / FedEx days have you ever seen a Mack in service? I have not. I have seen:
    • Freightliner
    • Volvo
    • Ford / Sterling
    • International
    • Kenworth

    I have never seen one and I have been known to take a lot of pictures of the more oddball and test units over the years.

    A great place to look in the archives is at hankstruckpictures.com.

    I would like to see one!

    Mack's!!!!

    In the old AF day's when we used only IH truck's some of them had cat motor's,then the company started trying Volvo's with Cummin's only motor's and AF made a decision to only use the Cummin's motor for maintenance reason's.Now somehow Volvo talked FDX FRT into trying their Volve motor which we a few of,but to answer the Mack truck question ive been told by several maintenance personnel that FDX wont by Mack's for maintenace related issue's.Hope this answer's your question.

    The first tractor Viking bought was a Mack, back in the late 60's.. After that they bought 5 Dodges, a few hunded Fords, 30 Internationals, and since then all Kenworths.. They have had pretty much everything else in for tests, but have never bought any.. The old truckload unit VFS trans did buy a few freightliner sleeper units but not many.

    FedEx Freight and the former Viking Freight were forbidden by DOT regulation from operating Macks. It is unlawful under DOT regualtion for 2 a..holes to drive down the road staring at each other. Fortunately we employed a number of those at Viking prior to my being hired, as a result we never had to drive Macks.:smilie_132:

    Very well said, when you go to the grocery store, you can buy kraft, or you can buy there generic brand. Fedex buy's volvo's generic brand
    Life is short, enjoy it while you're here, It's not permanent !
