Mack Trucks will once again sponsor the American Trucking Association's (ATA) Share the Road and Workforce Heroes programs in 2022. This is the 21st year Mack has supported Share the Road and the third year it has sponsored the Workforce Heroes program.
“Mack is proud to again contribute to the education of motorists driving on our nation’s highways by extending our commitment to the Share the Road program that educates the general public on how to safely drive around heavy-duty trucks,” said Jonathan Randall, Mack Trucks senior vice president of sales and commercial operations. “We are pleased to also support the ATA’s Workforce Heroes effort helping veterans who served our country find a new career in the trucking industry, which will benefit from their dedication to service.”

Mack donated two Mack Anthem 70-inch Stand Up sleeper models, equipped with all of the latest safety technologies, one to each of these programs.
The Share the Road program teaches motorists how to safely drive alongside heavy-duty vehicles on our nation’s roadways. The professional drivers who participate in the program are among the best of their class, many of whom have one million miles or more that have been accident free. Utilizing the Mack Anthem model as an educational tool, Share the Road drivers demonstrate to the general public the differences between heavy-duty trucks and passenger vehicles, while also explaining stopping distances and blind spots. Drivers from the Share the Road program conducted 210 events since October 2020, with more than 2,500 people.
The Anthem used in the program is spec’d with the 13-liter Mack MP8 505C engine featuring 505 horsepower and 1,860 lb.-ft. of torque and a 12-speed Mack mDRIVE automated manual transmission.
Mack Road Stability Advantage by Bendix, which is a fully electronic stability control system to help mitigate the chances of a rollover or jackknife incident, Bendix Wingman Fusion, a camera- and radar-based system that provides collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning capabilities, are both on the Anthem model used in the programs. Mack Road Stability Advantage and Bendix Wingman Fusion are both standard on all Mack Anthem models.
