I saw the MAC truck tucked next to a transmission shop off Fullerton and Fairbanks. First time I have seen him in months! Didn’t get a chance to jump in though, I had other stuff that needed my attention.

First time for everything! Saw a Matco truck going southbound on Mannheim at Grand. I was trying to snap a photo but he was hauling and I was stuck in eastbound traffic. I’d love to know where his route is.

Found a Matco truck pulled into the lot of a motorcycle dealership off Grand and York. I was ecstatic. Really cool guy. We chatted for about 30mins about Matco, tool trucks, and the business. I’m hoping he can be my new Matco dude even if I have to rendezvous with him.

I used to live near a mechanic that had the Cornwell truck visit regularly. Now I live near a mechanic that has the Snap-On truck visit regularly. I see him drive past my office window. I haven't paid enough attention to recognize the schedule, but he comes every now and then for sure, lol.

Here’s another one from yesterday, Matco truck spotted on Boulder Highway in Henderson, NV. I saw another Matco and another Snap-on truck while I was out but didn’t manage to get a picture.

Finally!

I haven't seen one of these since the 90s/early 00s where I live, but on a business trip to Virginia last weekend I spotted this one. My coworkers could not understand my excitement, but thats ok. They know I'm weird.

Saw this one in Northern Macomb County today. Seeing a tool truck is a fairly regular occurrence around here, but I was stopped at the light and thought I'd snap a pic.

I know you guys sure have a lot of Snap-on trucks down there. I believe the guy that has most of the roads in that area also owns the route that my guy is in Sanilac County.

Snap-On tools coming soon to your local Walmart? Or is it a parking lot decoy loaded with surprises.IMG_7771.jpeg

First time I've been able to get a pic. This was in Salida, CO about a week ago. Crappy pic, but....

Caught two MAC trucks this week. Monday a truck was going west on Lake after leaving the Republic trash depot in Melrose Park. Saw another driver sitting at the GMC dealership on Grand and Church in Elmhurst. Looks like Team Wolfpack may have finally found some new drivers because MAC had disappeared around May and Snappy was beginning to take over.

Saw a Matco truck headed west on Grand by the VW dealership in Bensenville on Monday and a Snap-on truck sitting by the Honda dealership also on Grand in Bensenville on Tuesday. Been a busy week for trucks!

I see Snap-on trucks all the time. In fact I know the time for several local stops. But last year I saw a Cornwall truck for the first time ever in my 78 years. I always though they were a myth.

Our little pocket is over represented in this segment. Sub-100k residents within a two hour, 150 mile, drive and three SO trucks, two Mac trucks, a Matco truck and an independent truck that has been wrapped Gearwrench, SK, and at least one other company over the last decade.

These guys are hungry, too. I am the only mechanic here, among my other tasks, and still get twice a month stops from one Snappy driver and now the new Mac driver.
