Honoring a Trucking Legend: Bob Nuss on 50+ Years in the Industry | Miles Back with ATHS & Jimmy Mac | Road Gang Radio

November 07, 2025

On this edition of Miles Back with ATHS on Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac sits down with Bob Nuss — a true trucking industry icon, lifelong innovator, and proud Life Member of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS).


From his start at Mack of Rockford in 1969 to becoming President and General Manager of Mack Trucks in Rochester, Minnesota, Bob has devoted more than five decades to driving the industry forward. Under his leadership, Nuss Truck Group/Nuss Truck & Equipment has grown into a multi-location powerhouse that continues to thrive across generations.


Bob shares stories from his incredible journey — including earning the 2017 American Truck Dealer of the Year Award, the 2023 ATHS Golden Achievement Award, and founding the Nuss Collection Truck Museum, home to more than 60 beautifully restored antique trucks.


Jimmy and Bob also talk about the importance of preserving trucking history and the ongoing work of ATHS to digitize and share its vast collection through its upcoming Online Digital Archive.
