[punhoss]

Hey! He's on the wrong side of the road.... and cab??? Oh Australia sorrrrry my bad.

[trucking15]

@punhoss , lmao, there is no way an Aussie would be driving this top of the line piece of American gear, this one is driven around south otago in New Zealand.

[mccormickchainsaw]

can you say rubber ducky

[trucking15]

@mccormickchainsaw, yes but you wouldn't hear me anyway.

[mccormickchainsaw]

@trucking15 lol

[Hotrodx199]

Some of the older macks only used 5 speeds because of the motor they sometimes used, they had flat torque curves from like 1000 rpms to like 1800/2100 rpms.

@Hotrodx199 yeah my father drove a mack 5 speed for a milk company Absolute sluggish piece of crap. Smoke and nothing more...... Companys peterbilt 359 400 bc1 and 9 speed far better truck

that's not flooring it

[trucking15]

he would have to floor it as it only has 285HP

[guppyelf]

hammer down old dog !

[Lmackattack]

on those old macks you found the gear and smoothly put the pedal to the floor and let it pull through its 800-1000rpm powerband. let up/shift/ do it again...

[nachos1990]

flooring it is not an uncommon thing. We do pool water and even going up some hills with a 550 hp cat you stil have to floor it.

[trucking15]

it's just a title lol.

[allyn788]

Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty brisk pace for a semi....

[Schutzstaffel23]

flooring?

[trucking15]

yes,making the accxeleration pedal go as far as it can go is also known as "flooring it"

[Schutzstaffel23]

im very aware of that lol. never heard a semi floor it before just wondering if he really was flooring it in this video.

[Battlefield2Lvr]

We'll with the black smoke...probably. lol
