About 4,000 workers represented by the United Auto Workers (UAW) reached an agreement with Volvo Group-owned Mack Trucks just before midnight Eastern Standard Time (0400 GMT) on Sunday, the union and the company said.
"The terms of this tentative agreement would deliver significantly increased wages and continue first-class benefits for Mack employees and their families," Mack President Stephen Roy said in a statement.
The UAW is currently in the third week of an ongoing strike against the Detroit 3 automakers, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler parent Stellantis.Workers across industries ranging from airlines to shipping and from retail to entertainment have been pressing for better wages and benefits from large U.S. companies in recent months due to high inflation and low unemployment.
Mack, founded in 1900, is one of North America's largest manufacturers of medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, engines and transmissions, according to its website. Its trucks are sold in nearly 30 countries.
