The Mack Trucks Calendar Contest is once again on the hunt for the most impressive Mack trucks to be featured in the 2026 calendar edition. Twelve Bulldogs will grace next year’s publication, with each winner receiving a professional photo shoot courtesy of Mack Trucks.

The contest continues the tradition of showcasing the best Mack trucks in operation across North America, with voting categories aligned with Mack’s truck models:

There is also legacy category for models no longer in production but still in revenue operation.

“We received a record 432,000 votes for the 2025 contest, which demonstrated the incredible passion of the Mack community,” said David Galbraith, Mack Trucks vice president, global brand and marketing. “The 2026 calendar will continue our celebration of Mack’s remarkable heritage and the hardworking customers who keep our trucks on the road.”

Contest Open to Working Trucks

The contest is open to trucks in revenue operation—vehicles currently working in fleets—and not collector or antique vehicles. 

The entry period runs through April 30, and voting is from April 1 to April 30. Voters are allowed to vote once daily for their choice in each category via this link.
