The Vision of the World's Largest Truck Convoy

World's Largest Truck Convoy for Special Olympics logoWith a solid foundation built and the aspiration of establishing a committee consisting of representatives from government, trucking industry and drivers associations, and key trucking companies, the Truck Convoy could exponentially grow to be a unifying force among law enforcement, the trucking industry and the Special Olympics population in the more than 10,000 communities where Special Olympics Programs exist. The 2006 Convoy will take place on Saturday, 16 September (unless otherwise noted).
