Lighting of the Trucks. 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM.  The annual lighting of the trucks will be open to the public on December 24, 2025 and on December 25, 2025 from approximately 5:30 PM until 10:30 PM. Feel free to drive through the lot and enjoy the beauty of each truck meticulously lined up to create a breathtaking display of lights. Most often family members are available and willing to open some of the trucks to allow those who stop by to see the inside of them, and to gain a better understanding of how hard-working drivers live in their home away from home. The Sercombe family offers this as a free event as a way to say thank you for all the support you have given to us during the past 56 years. We are honored to call Jackson, Michigan our home.  Sercombe Trucking, 3150 Shirley Drive, Jackson.
