For the past few weeks, I’ve been part of a team of professional truck drivers working to safely deliver the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree from California to our nation’s capital in Washington, D.C.
Since the tree was harvested on Oct. 23 from the Six Rivers National Forest in Eureka, California, our team has traveled over 4,000 miles to transport the 84-foot-tall and 19-foot-wide white fir, affectionally nicknamed "Sugar Bear," to D.C. on our Kenworth truck.

Throughout the journey, my team and I made 26 stops from coast to coast and have met some amazing people in dozens of our country’s beautifully diverse communities.
