HISTORY

The 2023 Truck Convoy was not held due to Tropical Storm Ophelia. This event would have been the 21st anniversary of the Truck Convoy in Delaware.

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.
