As part of the program, Kenworth donated a T680 with a 76-inch sleeper to the Freedom 250 Tour.
The truck will join a fleet of “Freedom Trucks” hauling mobile museums across the U.S. in 2026, delivering interactive educational exhibits to communities nationwide.
Kenworth leaders said the initiative reflects both pride in the brand’s history and continued support for drivers, veterans, and the broader trucking community.
