Nextran served as a staging area for a small fleet of Mack Anthem tractors, along with a redesigned Mack Pinnacle and Mack Granite, as the trucks made their way from Allentown, Pa. to Atlanta for the North American Commercial Vehicle Show next week.Nextran Truck Centers‘ new location just northeast of Atlanta hasn’t even been open six months, but its already a crown jewel of Mack Trucks‘ dealership network.
“There couldn’t be a better example of what we hope to emulate to our customers,” says Jonathan Randall, Mack’s senior vice president of North American sales.
The 55,000 sq.-ft. facility features 30 service bays, $1 million in parts on-hand and a plush driver waiting area complete with showers and a laundry room.
The new location is the third Nextran Truck Center in the Atlanta area, but holds distinction as the company’s largest, most technologically advanced site.
Jon W. Pritchett, president and CEO, Nextran Corporation, called the new facility the company’s flagship location, adding the search for suitable property along Highway 85 took his family two years.
