Brother I walked the dog for a few year’s hauling coal in the mountains of SE Ky, beautiful scenery and taught me some real driving skills. One mess up could be the last on those roads. The coal business dried up but I still miss it, 17 and driving that big ol DM800✌️🇺🇸

I drove a lot of these 237s, 250s, and 300s! Drove a lot of the old thermadine engines with the douplex trans, triplex and quaderplex 18speed. I love the old Macks!!!

Heck yeh we ran a 300 plus in a 76’ DM800 Tri-Plex 15 spd #65,000 bogies, she was a real truck. Hauling coal in SE Ky those mountains broke many a lesser truck. 👍🇺🇸

One of the best videos on KZitem of an R model pulling hard! Anyone that has ever stared at a Bulldogs ass has scrapped a gear on those up shifts on hills because you can’t wait on the revs to fall before you lose your road speed! Good job!

Hell yeh brother, typical Mack, underrated and overbuilt. They didn’t win any comfort or speed contests but by hell they ran and ran. I went places in a DM800 coal truck you wouldn’t think a dirt bike could go.
