MCDONOUGH, GEORGIA (May 31, 2024) – Taking place June 7 – 9, 2024, the National Mall just south of the White House will transform into a housing hub for the fourth year in a row. RoadMasters, a division of Bennett Truck Transport, LLC will be participating for the second year through transporting a unit built by Fleetwood Homes, a Cavco Company. This home will travel from Rocky Mount, VA through Fredericksburg, VA and finally to D.C. and is the first nationally available duplex approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The HUD Innovative Housing Showcase is a public event aiming to spread awareness of affordable housing designs and technologies to increase housing supply, lower the cost of construction, increase energy efficiency and reduce housing expenses for owners and renters. Many manufactured housing companies and transporters participate in this showcase allowing White House employees and representatives from various government agencies to explore and continue to better the housing sector in America.
RoadMasters’ participation in this showcase aims to aid the American people in obtaining housing by transporting a manufactured home for display that speaks to various individuals, increasing awareness and pushing progress in the manufactured and modular home sector.
“
The showcase provides a unique opportunity to explore technologies that can make housing more affordable and more resilient, while bringing industry leaders and the public together on creative solutions to the challenges facing our communities.”
Marcia L. Fudge, HUD Secretary
“HUD and its Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) have supported innovation in housing and building technologies since the beginning, and these investments have contributed to changes in building codes, improvements in industry practice and most importantly, lower housing costs for American families.”
Solomon Greene, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research
At Bennett, Family, Faith and Freight are core values that are displayed each day across all divisions. RoadMasters showcases these values through efficient, reliable and safe transportation of manufactured and modular homes and commercial buildings. RoadMasters employees and drivers works tirelessly across the nation to make the American dream of home ownership come to life.
It is an honor for RoadMasters to provide transportation of a Fleetwood Rocky Mountain home to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. We are proud to participate for the 2nd year and hope to assist in raising awareness of innovative and affordable housing designs and technologies.
