10-4 Magazine October 2025

58 10-4 Magazine / October 2025 When it comes to professional sports teams, especially the National Football League (NFL) in particular, NFL teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles (just to name a few) have some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in all of sports. But one thing these mentioned teams have in common, they all play in some of the largest metropolitan markets in the country. But for the Green Bay Packers, who play in the NFL’s smallest market, most would never guess this based on how prevalent and passionate Packer fans are in Wisconsin and the USA. Packer Pride runs deep in Wisconsin residents, and on any given Sunday, you’ll find fans cheering their team on in a number of ways. From pre-game tailgating at Lambeau Field with beer and brats to Packer parties at homes and bars across the state of Wisconsin, Packer fans will be dressed in green and gold everywhere you go, with many wearing those iconic cheeseheads, and all yelling “Go Pack Go!” For most Packer fans, a replica jersey of their favorite player, a team shirt, ball cap or some other piece of memorabilia is generally enough to show their Packer Pride. But for Knapp, Wisconsin based Packer fan and owner operator Mary Norton, her love for the Green Bay Packers goes beyond most fans. Nearly 70 feet long and weighing up to 80,000 lbs. at times, Mary’s Packer themed 2014 Kenworth T660 and 2009 Great Dane Super Seal spread-axle reefer trailer shows off her love for the Packers all the way from front to back. Painted in Packer green and gold, Mary’s T660 has an 86” Studio Sleeper and rides on a 285” wheelbase. The big T660 is powered by a Cummins ISX, rated at 500-hp, and mated to an Eaton UltraShift 13-speed transmission with 3.36 rears. Kenworth 8-bag suspension on the drives and a 4-bag air ride on the front keep the rig riding comfortably down the highway with 22.5 Dura-Bright Alcoa aluminum rims all the way around. On the inside, the T660 is equipped with Kenworth’s most luxurious black and gray diamond tuck Seattle Package with every option available. “This is the 4th green and yellow Packer themed truck I’ve owned,” said Mary, adding, “While our 1997 W900L carried the Packer logo and the 1996 Superbowl Champions logo on the trailer, it wasn’t green. It wasn’t until my late husband Jack and I ordered our first green and gold Kenworth in 1999 and another one in 2003. The first three were W900Ls, then we ordered a T600 in 2007, and we took delivery of this T660 in November 2013.” While all of Mary’s Packer themed trucks were named “Packer Pride,” Mary decided Truckapedia: By Mark Harter to name the T660 “Jordy” after Green Bay Packer wide receiver Jordy Nelson. Jordy played for Green Bay for nine seasons and was a member of the Packer team that won Superbowl XLV during the 2010-2011 season. While the T660’s exterior carries the Packer “G” logo, a list of the Packer Superbowl wins, and a big Packer helmet on the trailer, the Packer theme continues on the interior of the truck, as well, with Packer curtains and many other Packer accents. A Wisconsin native, Mary’s truck reflects what Wisconsin is known for in other ways besides their love for the Packers. With cheese themed mud flaps and valve stem covers, the T660 GO PACK GO!
