Mack Trucks

Greensboro heavy haulers

Mack Trucks is an American manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial vehicles, particularly semi-trucks and construction equipment.

The company's bulldog hood ornament became iconic, and "built like a Mack truck" entered common speech to describe something powerfully constructed or imposing: She's built like a Mack truck—don't mess with her.
