1 0 | BULLDOG | 2 0 1 5 V 1 W hen Mack owners' trucks need repair, they can be back in business with as little as one phone call to the Mack Uptime Center. The 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week, 365-days-per-year facility is staffed by customer support specialists dedicated to helping truckers reduce — or completely avoid — costly downtime. They understand that when a truck isn't running, it's not making money. "Essentially what we're doing is streamlining the process so our customers don't have to do the paperwork and be on the phone all day," says Shaun Collette, who has been a customer support specialist at the call center for almost two years.
