Omaha, Nebraska — Mack Trucks announced the twelve trucks that will headline its 2027 Mack Calendar after a nationwide, fan‑driven contest that set a participation record earlier this summer.
The contest tapped the brand’s loyal customer base across the United States and Canada, inviting owners of active commercial rigs to submit photos and stories. Thousands of votes poured in on Mack’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feeds, turning the calendar into a showcase of the company’s diverse market—from OTR haulers to municipal waste fleets. By highlighting real‑world applications, Mack reinforces its reputation as a workhorse for every vocation.
Winners span long‑haul, construction, recycling, waste, and even electric power‑train operations. The long‑haul slot goes to a Mack Pioneer owned by Scooter’s Coffee in Omaha, Nebraska. Tough‑job representation lands on a Mack Granite serving Scofield Transfer & Recycling in Stafford, New York. Versatility is embodied by a Mack Granite hauling for WM Laramie Hauling in Cicero, Illinois. Alternative power‑train entries include an LR Electric for Coastal Waste & Recycling in Boca Raton, Florida, an MD Electric for ABC Supply in Beloit, Wisconsin, and an MD for Construction Materials Group in Harrisonburg, Virginia. A second electric, the LR, appears for Premier Truck Sales & Rental in Cleveland, Ohio, while TerraPro of SBC Waste Solutions in Broadview, Illinois rounds out the list. The “Old Bulldogs Still Hard at Work” category showcases a 1954 Mack L Model that still hauls daily for the Last Alarm Foundation in Tucson, Arizona. Mack also confirmed that its all‑new Anthem, Granite and Keystone models will be featured in the calendar, which will hit the Mack shop later this year at www.mackshop.com.
What This Means for Drivers
For CDL‑A drivers and owner‑operators, seeing familiar rigs on a national calendar validates the everyday grind and can boost morale on the road. Fleet managers gain free publicity; a photo spread of a local truck in its usual route can serve as a recruitment tool for truck driver jobs. The exposure also highlights emerging technologies such as electric drivetrains, giving OTR truck drivers a glimpse of where the industry is headed and encouraging early adoption.
Industry Reaction
Carrier groups praised Mack’s community‑first approach, noting that the contest underscores the brand’s deep roots in North‑American trucking. A spokesperson for the American Trucking Associations remarked that celebrating both legacy and new models reflects the sector’s blend of tradition and innovation. Meanwhile, independent owner‑operators expressed pride that a 72‑year‑old L Model earned a calendar slot, proving that well‑maintained legacy equipment can still compete with modern rigs.
