An impressive escort from the Law Enforcement Torch Run opened the way to the convoy in the streets of Trois Rivieres and on Autoroute 40.
Many had pearls on their cheeks overwhelmed by the emotions as the convoy entered the fairgrounds in front of the stadium. To ear from the Autoroute, the whaling of the sirens, all the lights on the motorcade and the sounds of all kind of air horns from different trucks was a very moving moment for all.
The second moment of emotions was the announcement of the tally. A total of 115 participants with commercial vehicles of all kind that broke the Canadian record for a first edition of a convoy.
The generosity and the open heart of all the women and men that are the soul of the trucking industry, the organisation of the convoy was able to give to Special Olympics Quebec the sum of $20,000.00 to help the athletes with their cause. You all took up the challenge to be “United for a same cause”.
There is still some accounting left to be done so we can close the books on this first convoy. The final statement will be published in the November issue of Transport Magazine.
Thank you, 115 times thank you! More pictures will be posted shortly
