More than 60 Trucks Registered!

We are thrilled to announce that we have more than 60 drivers and trucks registration for the Convoy to date!  With the event just one month away, we are hoping to see a big jump in this number in the coming weeks.  

If you have already registered for the Convoy – Thank you!  If not, please see the link to register on this page.  Please come back to the site often for ongoing updates and driver information.  We are encouraging drivers to register and pay through the online system this year to minimize cash handling on site.

The Truck Convoy is Back

Plans are underway for the 2019 Truck Convoy in support of Special Olympics. On Saturday, September 21st, 2019, truckers from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island will unite with our partners in Law Enforcement (LETR) for the seventh year to support Special Olympics athletes. This showcase of companies, trucks, drivers, and sponsors creates a truly “One of a Kind” event for all involved. If you have participated in the past, thank you and we hope you will again this year. New trucks and drivers are most welcome!
