What is 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. More than 100 trucks travel 28 miles up and down I-485 before returning to the zMax Dragway for a celebratory lunch.
