GREENSBORO, N.C. — Mack Trucks announced that three of its Mack Anthem models will be spotlighted at the 2024 American Trucking Associations (ATA) Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) meeting. This year’s annual meeting takes place on March 4-7 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
