HISTORY

The 2025 Truck Convoy was the 23rd anniversary of the Truck Convoy in Delaware. More than 210 trucks registered and raised over 57K for our athletes.

Nationally, the Truck Convoy was founded in Florida in 2001 by Norm Schneiderhan, with the Orange County Sheriff’s Dept. Schneiderhan was inspired by the powerful impact of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.
