Thanks to all who participated in the
2022 Truck Convoy for Special Olympics NC!

What’s a Truck Convoy?

The Truck Convoy is an annual event which unites law enforcement and truckers to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics athletes and change attitudes toward people with intellectual disabilities. Two thousand big rig trucks will traverse throughout the United States and Canada throughout the year. More than 100 trucks travel 28 miles up and down I-485 before returning to the zMax Dragway for a celebratory lunch.

Do you want the honor of being the lead or last truck in the Convoy?

Here’s how:

Each year, during the Opening Ceremony, participants have the chance to participate in the Lead and Last Truck auction. Whoever bids the highest for either category will receive the honor of being the lead or last truck of the Convoy, signified by a large banner attached to your vehicle. The Lead Truck winner will also receive a championship belt!

HOW?

Participants are encouraged to raise as much as possible, but a minimum donation of $100 is required to participate in the Truck Convoy.

All trucks entering the convoy must be of 10-GVW or larger and can include, but are not limited to, semi-trucks, truck/trailer combinations, large trucks, low-boys, dump trucks, flat beds, buses, large tow trucks, large box trucks, etc.
