In an attempt to maintain Guinness Book of World Record status, law enforcement and truckers throughout the United States and Canada will join forces to hold the World’s Largest Truck Convoy on Saturday, Sept. 16.

From New Jersey to California, dozens of miles of highway will be lined with hundreds of law enforcement officers and more than 4,000 trucks as they convoy in various U.S. and Canadian cities celebrating their support of Special Olympics athletes.
“Special Olympics has a way of bringing everyone together, setting aside differences and building atmospheres of acceptance,” said Cpl. Norm Schneiderhan, convoy founder. “The fact that Special Olympics can bring together law enforcement and truckers is a testament to how the athletes of Special Olympics are a true inspiration. Every mile a trucker travels during the Truck Convoy equals a change in attitudes toward the athletes of Special Olympics.”
An international fund raising and awareness event, the event has been officially recognized by Guinness World’s Records as The World’s Largest Truck Convoy for the past six years. Trucking companies and truckers who want to participate in this year’s event can visit the convoy’s web site at www.worldslargesttruckconvoy.com for more information and a registration packet for the event in their state. The minimum donation to participate in the Special Olympics convoy is $100 per truck. Trucking companies bid additional sponsorship funds to win the coveted spot of leading the convoy.
