Road infrastructure has become a hot topic across the country. Recently NBC News and MSNBC sent a news crew to Charlotte, NC and McMahon Truck Leasing & NationaLease to learn more about what industry leaders had to say about infrastructure and the concerns the industry faces.

Under a bright Carolina blue sky and with a truck background supplied by McMahon Truck Leasing & NationaLease, NBC News correspondent, Vaughn Hillyard, interviewed experts such as a Civil Engineer, a truck company CEO, and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce President and CEO for their thoughts on why our roads need improvement and how better roads can help the industry as a whole in regards to time, safety and money.

Each interview took place live on MSNBC and was recorded for playback later on NBC News outlets, such as NBC Nightly News and The Today Show. McMahon Truck Leasing was chosen due to their long time presence in the community, as well as, their prime site at the intersection of Interstates 77 and 85 in the Charlotte region. The location and backdrop provided NBC News with exceptional highway exposure and a vast fleet of trucks to use for the interviews.
