GREENSBORO, NC – CBS announced that the episode of Undercover Boss featuring Mack Trucks, Inc. and its President & CEO, Denny Slagle, will be broadcast Sunday, Feb. 20 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). 

In production of the episode, Slagle worked side-by-side with employees at the Macungie, PA, plant that assembles every Mack truck sold in North America; the Hagerstown, MD, plant that produces every Mack engine sold in North America; and the Baltimore, MD, distribution center that provides parts to Mack dealers and customers. 

"I came away from this experience with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by our front-line employees,” Slagle said.  “Mack people live up to the brand’s reputation – they’re tough, genuine, dedicated, and reliable.  The future truly is bright for this 111-year-old American icon.”
