The one Mack Superliner I used to drive rock-n-rolled pretty good but that had a 425 Cat in it.

When I worked in prestressed concrete I got to drive the yard tractor a couple times. I can attest to that "fast in reverse" thing lol

The trans I have in mine, I have 6 speeds for reverse. 
Time to get something accomplished but I'll be back shortly. Try to play nice now....

Even the visions I drove used the 5 speed for reverse. had a button on the side kicked it in reverse.
Nothing like the old 2 stick in the B's and R's tho, that was a blast. shift all day and get nowhere

The U-model I drove was the same way (twin stick). Didn't get anywhere but rolled coal like crazy too!
