Great throwers have great attitudes. They step into the trailer with enthusiasm and intelligence, and they're motivated by a sense of ownership and a desire for personal glory. Outside the trailer, this attitude tends to overclock team performance. Truck #154436 is a perfect example of this.
On August 18, 2025, Marco "El Mazo" Acevedo faced a larger-than-average welterweight truck. Using intelligent box placement and non-stop line speed, he hammered out both weight-class and Cargo Champs records.
Truck #154436 set a new Cargo Champs speed bonus record: 1.29, which is 3% higher than the previous record holder 160551. This is made all the more impressive by the following facts: #154436 was a solo throw and only about 8% smaller than 160551. Zooming out further, #154436 is one of only two trucks in a 250+ database with a speed bonus > 1.2.
El Mazo cleared a panel every 2mins and 6secs. This is the fastest welterweight MPP, and it's one of only seventeen trucks in the database with an MPP < 70secs. Most impressively among these seventeen elite throws, #154436 is the largest solo-thrown truck. Forty-six percent larger, it's a virtual giant compared to the average (adjusted) sizes of the sixteen other fly-, feather-, and lightweight trucks.
Truck #154436 had the highest welterweight BPM. It's one of only six trucks in the dataset with a BPM > 30. And among these throws, #154436's BPM is second only to two flyweight solo throws (#142805 and #168700) and a light-heavyweight team throw (#202636). In essence, El Mazo delivered the fastest solo-throw BPM for a 1,200-2,000 truck in Cargo Champs history.
With #154436, El Mazo redefined expectations for +/- 2,000 throws. No claims. No breaks. No asterisk -- Marco spent an hour hammering out records like a blacksmith working pig iron into an elegant blade. In many ways, he consigned 160551 to the slag heap. El Mazo finished a truck that was only 169 boxes smaller 28mins faster, eight boxes per minute faster, and 34secs per panel faster. And he did all this on his own.
¡Viva El Mazo!
