What is the World's Largest Truck Convoy?

Inspired by the powerful impact Special Olympics had on his life through his participation in the Law Enforcement Torch Run®, combined with his family’s involvement with the trucking industry, Norm Schneiderhan, a Corporal with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department in Florida, created the Truck Convoy, a one day celebration of the trucking industry to help raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics.

The Truck Convoy® is a celebration of the trucking industry and its support of Special Olympics. It is a unique one day celebration in which law enforcement makes special dispensation and escorts a convoy of trucks up to 30 miles through their town.

Truckers meet at a staging location and are escorted in convoy to a predetermined destination. A celebration, including brats, burgers and an awards ceremony is held to recognize participating truckers and the support of the trucking industry. Whatever form the celebration takes, the message is the same: “Thank you for your support of Special Olympics athletes and for keeping our communities moving!”

Types of Vehicles Required for the Truck Convoy:

The Dallas portion of the 2013 World’s Largest Truck Convoy will include Class A vehicles all bobtail only due to the in-town route over Dallas’ new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.  All trucks entering the convoy must be of 10-GVW or larger.  Please note: No Hazardous materials or trucks with alcohol or tobacco names or logos permitted.

Sponsorships are available, please contact Doug Ray or Samantha Vogel at 214.943.9981.
