Mack Trucks will be responsible for hauling one of our nation’s most treasured pieces of cargo – the Capitol Christmas tree. (OK, maybe I’m going a little overboard, but hey, it’s a sure sign that the holiday season is upon us).
The specially-designed Mack Pinnacle, driven by former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, will haul this precious load from Colorado to Washington, DC. The theme of this truck is “From One National Treasure to Another,” and alludes to Macks’ 112-year legacy, the company said.
The truck features Mack the Bulldog hauling a massive tree through the snow, with large mountains in the background.
“The Capitol Christmas Tree is a great tradition in the United States, and Mack is proud to once again participate in the project,” said John Walsh, Mack vice president of marketing. “The design for this year’s Pinnacle model captures Mack’s legendary durability and reliability in a unique and fun way. ”
This is the second time Campbell, who represented Colorado in the Senate from 1993 until 2005, will transport the tree, having also done so in 2000
