With the festive hashtag #HighwayRocks70, Highway Transport is not only celebrating a 70th Anniversary, but also enjoying the purchase of 75 new Mack Trucks. The model is the new Mack Anthem.
Highway’s overall fleet is a blend of 309 Mack Pinnacles equipped with Mack® mDRIVE™ automatic transmission. The pinnacles have been in the fleet since 2013. The 75 Mack Anthems are being added throughout 2018. We are excited about putting our new Anthems on the road.

“Having this equipment goes a long way toward helping us recruit top tanker trucking talent,” says Joe Sheldon, Highway’s director of linehaul and recruiting. “Mack® trucks are not only durable for hard tanker trucking use, but we equip the Anthems with a lot of features drivers enjoy. Logistical planning is so much more sophisticated today. Routes are intentionally designed to provide runs preferred by family-minded drivers. Highway Transport’s service centers are strategically located so that drivers enjoy more home time than ever. System drivers are at the heart of Highway’s growth strategy. The new Mack Anthems are being allocated to system drivers. Drivers who are willing to run throughout Highway Transport’s system are greatly rewarded.”
Joe adds, “I recently received the following feedback from Highway system driver, Alen Smailovic.”

Truck: Within first 3000 miles truck is getting 6.7 mpg (6.5 on the previous truck), comfortable seat & mattress make for softer ride, quicker recovery time. I have been getting thumbs up from fellow drivers, fists bumps from other truckers (while fueling) on the truck looks. So, I truly appreciate it. Take great care, Joe!
