Mack Trucks is a subsidiary of AB Volvo manufactures trucks. When it comes to vocational trucks Mack Trucks is on the top of the line in manufacturing class 8 to class 13 rated trucks. In North American the truck company is know more for manufacturing off road trucks.

The entire Mack vehicles are with chrome plated bulldog logo on the front, some times with gold plated bulldog which denotes that the truck is built with entire Mack parts.

It’s to differentiate a Mack Trucks with another manufacturers engine, axles, transmission or suspension. It’s very rare to spot Mack truck with a gold plated bull dog.

Mack is the name trusted in 45 countries.

A Mack trucks has its roots as back as in 1890 when John M. Mack got a job in a carriage and wagon manufacturing company. And what’s very strange is that John and his brother Augustus brought the company where John worked. In the 1900 the company produced a bus which was its first heavy vehicle. Soon in 1902 the Mack Brothers Company was founded.
