But one that carries over a century's worth of pride and history on its shoulders. I was at the launch of Mack's newest Class 8 truck on April 8 -- not far from where the Mack Brothers founded their now-iconic truck company in the heart of the Big Apple, 125 years ago. There was a none-too-subtle theme in play at the launch.
