Road Report - Big Truck Version - Mack edition

There are Mack truck truck fans, then there are Mack truck fanatics. I suspect that Entreprises Rivard et Frères is in the latter category, since they seem to have almost every example of conventional Mack in their stable. Aside from construction work and heavy hauling they also have a large snow plow fleet, in which almost every imaginable model is represented.

Part of the snow clearing fleet lined up along highway 138 near Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade.

 Several industrial grade DM models and R models mix in with newer types.

 Big high speed plows and wings are needed in snow country.

Interesting air cleaner ducting on this one.

Then there is this beauty of a Super Liner in mint condition.

Of course the Rivards are not the only Mack owners in Quebec - there are others:

Les Concassés du Cap of Cap-St-Ignace, run this Titan to haul their Sandvik mobile crusher, seen here many miles from home at Yamachiche/Louiseville, complete with escort truck.

The rig is well set up, with lots of fuel tank capacity and hydraulics. The third axle may be trailer mounted.
