Kenworth

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree has arrived in Washington, D.C., which concludes the journey from the tree harvesting site in the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina.

Husband-and-wife driver team Ed Kingdon Jr. and Deborah Kingdon from Hardy Brothers Trucking used a new Kenworth T680 Next Gen equipped with a 76-in. mid-roof sleeper to transport the 2022 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree — a 78-ft. tall Red Spruce.

A tree lighting ceremony will be held on the West lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 29.
