Longtime Mack dealer McBride Mack Sales recently celebrated its 50th anniversary at its Carbondale, Ill., location, marking a half-century of service and support to customers.
McBride also has operations in Paducah, Ky., and Cape Girardeau, Mo.
“McBride is the ultimate representation of a dealer that has passion for the Mack brand, and it permeates through the family,” says Jonathan Randall, senior vice president of sales for Mack Trucks North America.
“Customers rely on McBride to help them achieve their business goals before and after the sale, and we are proud to jointly celebrate this milestone with McBride.”
McBride Mack Sales offers sales, leasing, service, parts, body shop, a 24-hours service response, towing and two wreckers, the company says.
McBride’s Carbondale location opened in 1966 by founder Charles McBride after he purchased the dealership. McBride previously worked for several years as a truck mechanic and service manager before purchasing his own dealership. In 1965, the Carbondale location had six bays, but now the location features 13.
In 2010, McBride expanded and built a 20,000 sq.-ft. building next to the existing building.
