That is a nice tanker. Out here in Oklahoma most are 1500-3500 because we need them to get down small roads to someones house. But there are a few super tankers out here. When we have a big fire, Tinker AFB sends us at least one of their super tankers, both if it is really big.
Not true. Never seen a Detroit engine in a Mack. If it has one, it was a custom order or a swap. Mack uses their own engine, unless the truck is spec'd with something else.
It's unreasonable to expect or assume someone to be an expert at driving a machine under the circumstances. Volunteer fire department where they may or may not volunteer often.
dayum thats a huge tanker lol. looks nice. we wouldnt require anything that big down here tho, not to mention not too many places we could take it. but it looks sweet
I'm talking the older ones. They are horrible. I've been a driver for years, but it seems that when I jump in an older Mack, I'm back to my days at driver school just learning how to shift 10, 13 or 18 gears.
We have an older one, but I don't a problem driving without grinding gears. ;)
If there are no baffles in that tank, you have to relearn how to drive one vs any other rig. Need to be much lighter on the go pedal. That screws you up right there if you aren't. Surge is a PITA. Even with baffles or bulk heads, you'll always have a little.
Must be a b*+ch to drive with all that shifting. If it was up to me I would have gotten an automatic with an auxillary transmission like these heavy-duty trash trucks have. Acceleration would improve 1000%. Just my 2 pennies.
holy crap that tanker is a beast it makes the tankers around my area look like pickup trucks with a tank on the spot where the bed is supposed to be on a pickup truck. nice tanker
YES!

most of the time if you buy a mack off the lot at some truck place they mainly have a deitriot engine and any ways my dad used to drive one

The CL series had mainly Cummins engines in them.

Sounds like a Mack, Shifts like a Mack. Must be a Mack.

Just a shitty driver that has little to no tanker experience.
If that guy was with a DOT officer to get his license, he just failed. You stop to find a gear, you're done for the day.

Not typically. As an option only.

Sick! What kind off engine does that Mack have? Is it a mack engine or is it a non-mack engine? It sounds great.

Nice, but the driver needs to learn how to shift.

Depends on the trans, but they shift fine if you are any good at driving. The newer ones are MUCH nicer than the old ones.
The T300 series are MUCH nicer than the T200 and older.

Nope. With a big pump, you can fill a tanker very quickly.
We have a manure pump that will fill a 4200 gallon spreader in 3 minutes. :D
