The garbage truck Trump rode in will be at his inauguration ceremony
NORWAY, Mich. (WLUC/Gray News) – The garbage truck that President-elect Donald Trump rode in as a comeback to remarks by President Joe Biden will make an appearance at Monday’s inauguration.
Back in October, Biden referred to Trump’s supporters as “garbage,” prompting Trump to climb into the passenger seat of a garbage truck from manufacturing company Loadmaster.
The truck was decked out with a Trump campaign decal and American flags as Trump posed in it for photos. The moment quickly went viral.
Loadmaster Vice President Andrew Brisson said Trump’s team has since asked Loadmaster if the company could provide a truck again for Trump’s inauguration.
“The Trump campaign team, or I believe it could be the inaugural team, asked us if we would be able to get a truck,” Brisson said. “Worked through that a little bit, and then they followed up asking if we could get two more out there.”
Brisson said a total of three Loadmaster garbage trucks will take part in the inauguration ceremonies. The one driven in the parade will be the same truck Trump rode in back in October.
Brisson said he will be driving that truck.
He said Loadmaster hopes to attract more employees with all the publicity.
“It’s a small company based here in little Norway, Michigan, just trying to get some attention, get some publicity,” Brisson said. “Still, we’ve got a healthy backlog. We’re still very steady, hiring consistently, and looking for all departments.”
Brisson is leaving for Washington, D.C. on Friday, ahead of the inauguration Monday.
