NASHVILLE, Tennessee—Mack Trucks recently renewed its sponsorships of two key American Trucking Associations programs for 2025: Share the Road and Workforce Heroes.

The announcement, made during the ATA Management Conference & Exhibition, marks the 24th consecutive year of Mack's support for Share the Road. In addition, Mack has supported Workforce Heroes since its inception in 2018.

"Every life saved on the road and every veteran finding a new purpose in trucking is a victory for us at Mack Trucks," Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America, said. "Through these vital ATA programs, we're enhancing road safety and opening doors for veterans in the trucking industry."

A Mack Anthem 70-inch Stand Up sleeper, equipped with the latest safety technologies, is used in the Share the Road program to educate motorists on how to safely share the highway with heavy-duty trucks. Professional drivers, many with more than one million accident-free miles, demonstrate critical safety aspects, such as stopping distances and blind spots.

Through the Workforce Heroes program, recognizable by its camouflage-wrapped Mack Anthem, ATA provides recruitment and training services for men and women interested in joining the trucking industry. Driven by Share the Road professionals, this vehicle makes appearances at schools, career fairs, and military bases.

"We're not just moving freight; we're driving progress for safety and helping our veterans find meaningful careers in trucking once they leave service," Randall said. "These sponsorships represent investments in safer roads for all and brighter futures for our veterans in the trucking industry."
