National Postal Museum Gears Up for Truck Exhibit
PROMISING PRODUCTS AND PROJECTS
At the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum, located in Washington, DC, a new exhibition will soon showcase a cab-cutaway truck. Called "Networking a Nation: Star Route Service,"
Computer-aided drawing depicts museum exhibit that will feature big-rig truck.
Thanks to the addition of a Columbia cab-cutaway truck, donated by Freightliner Trucks (Portland, OR), museum visitors can sit inside the cab of a big-rig truck, which has played a powerful role in transporting mail.
Various trucks have been used to haul mail on "Star Routes," which were established more than 150 years ago to expand our nation's mail service. Legislation that created the new mail service called for contractors to transport the mail with "celerity, certainty, and security." Weary of repeatedly writing these words in ledgers, postal clerks substituted "***," and the phrase "Star Route" was born.
