Mack Trucks reintroduced its Anthem model this week as more capable and more maneuverable regional-haul tractor. 

Available in six different wheel bases, ranging from 16 feet to 19 feet, Anthem features a bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) length that is 12-inches shorter than Mack's long haul tractor Pioneer (113.5 inches versus 125.5 inches), and 4 inches shorter than the previous Anthem. 

Pioneer and Anthem feature many similar styling cues and upwards of 90% in parts and components commonality.

60 Minutes investigated the rise of dangerous commercial trucking fleets called Chameleon Carriers. Known for flouting federal regulations and racking up safety violations, these often foreign owned and operated networks are four times more likely to be involved in severe crashes. Correspondent Bill Whitaker reported on one such scheme -- Super Ego -- a network of commercial trucking and leasing companies that is currently under federal investigation and named in a class action lawsuit.
