Hi guys, We're getting ready to mount another 37M Liebherr Boom Pump on a new truck. We're considering maybe mounting the pump on a new 3 axle Peterbilt instead of a Mack. Do any of you guys have experience with Peterbilts? how do they compare to Mack? Thanks! Mike Newcomb @ REED |

Petes are nice. Freightliner seems to be working for many. Conventionals |

I'd sure like to see a pump mounted on a Cat. |

Why not go for a Mercedes or MAN? Now these are proven good trucks.. At least 10 years ahead of the US brands.. I just don't understand why the european brands don't take off in the US. Specialy when I look at what kind of rubbish they have been serving you guys over there. |

I've ran a pump on a pete chassis , and it was sweet , only problem the suspension system was a little week , had to add a couple leaf springs front and back. |
