On a snowy morning in Landover, MD, our team had the privilege of welcoming a very special visitor—a Kenworth T680 with a holiday story of its own.
Fresh off its journey to Washington, D.C., this famous T680 helped deliver the 2025 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, a stunning 53-foot red fir known as “Silver Belle.” Its cross-country voyage began in Nevada’s Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest before making its way to the Capitol for the December 2nd Tree Lighting Ceremony.
For the past 12 years, Kenworth has been a major sponsor of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree program, supplying trucks to haul the special tree each holiday season. This 3,700-mile cross-country journey included 15 stops in communities across the country.
Moments like these remind us how connected the trucking industry is to the traditions, people, and places it serves. We’re grateful to have shared a small part of this tree’s remarkable journey—and proud of the Kenworth equipment that keeps America moving in every season.
