The garbage truck Donald Trump rode while in Green Bay will be present for Inauguration Day

When President-elect Donald Trump landed at the Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport back in October, he used a unique prop: a garbage truck decked out in the Trump campaign logo.

That moment went viral, and it will now be revisited again on Monday, for Inauguration Day.

Three Trump-decaled trucks are expected to make an appearance Monday near the U.S. Capitol when Trump is sworn into office. One truck will be driven during the Inauguration's parade, while the other two will be on display.

The trucks are being provided by Loadmaster, a truck manufacturing company in Norway, Michigan, which is about 100 miles north of Green Bay.

Ethan Brisson, the sales and marketing manager for Loadmaster, confirmed the accommodations with the Press-Gazette, and recounted the day they were contacted to get a truck for the now elected president who he was headed to a campaign event at the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon.

"A guy that worked for a large waste hauler in Wisconsin contacted our office. He's very involved with the Wisconsin GOP," Brisson told the Press-Gazette. "My brother took the phone call and basically just brought a truck down there."

Days earlier at a Trump rally in New York, one speaker referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." President Joe Biden responded to that comment by appearing to refer to Trump supporters as "garbage."

The garbage truck was Trump's response.

The original truck, which will be in D.C., was then displayed in Indianapolis, because that was the location of the dealer who owned the truck. All three trucks are already in D.C. for the inauguration.

Brisson said his brother, Andrew, who is the vice president of Loadmaster, will drive the truck during the inauguration parade.

"It's a big thing for us. We're kind of a smaller company and it's a lot of press for us," Ethan Brisson said. "We're just trying to get our name out there."

During the speech, Trump wore an orange safety vest that was provided by Andrew Brison, who bought it from a local Fleet Farm. They had wanted the vest back as a memento, but Trump wore it on the plane leaving the Green Bay area that night.
