A Few Fun Facts About Highway Transport
At Highway Transport, we love attention to detail!
Highway Transport Mack trucks have two signature bulldog hood ornaments, and only true Highway experts know the difference between them. A gold bulldog ornament indicates that the vehicle is 100% Mack, whereas a silver bulldog ornament indicates it isn’t. Typically, you’ll see Highway Transport tractors sporting the silver bulldog.
We believe dedicated, continued service deserves to be rewarded.
Anyone employed with Highway Transport for at least 20 years receives their very own luxury watch. Sound too good to be true? It’s not!

It’s no small accomplishment to reach two million miles as a driver, but Jackie Taylor did it! This Highway Transport driver stands out both on the road and off.

Driving free is our favorite way to drive. To show our support, all tractors have an American flag decal positioned to match the direction of the wind. At a glance, we want it to look like the stripes are blowing in the breeze!
