Undercover Boss features Danny Slagle, CEO of Mack Trucks, who goes undercover to see the challenges faced by his front-line employees.

“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 is bright for the 111-year-old American icon.”

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.  

Will Danny be successful in his disguise in his own company? Catch the Mack Truck Episode of Undercover Boss.
