2014 Truck Convoy

National Trucking Week is on from September 6, 2015 – September 12, 2015. This week is dedicated to honor the hard work and dedication of truck drivers across the nation.

To celebrate National Trucking Week, Dr. Hook Towing will be participating in the 6th Annual Truck Pull for The United Way and in the World’s Largest Truck Convoy for Special Olympics.

The United Way of Winnipeg is a non-profit organization that aims to improve our community by raising funds and supporting programs for a better Winnipeg. We are excited to take part in this event with the United Way. Cheer on the Dr. Hook Towing team as we manually pull a tractor at the 6th Annual Truck Pull for United Way!

World’s Largest Truck Convoy 2014

On September 6th, the 7th Annual World’s Largest Truck Convoy was held in support of Special Olympics Manitoba. This year there were a record 190 trucks that participated and raised a grand total of $59,000!

Dr. Hook was happy to be a part of this great event to raise money and awareness for the Special Olympic athletes. Thank you to all the drivers who participated.

Dr. Hook In The Community – 2013 Truck Convoy

When a call comes from the Winnipeg community, Dr. Hook Towing answers with enthusiasm. We consider it an honour to help organizations throughout our city with their charitable projects that help others. Over course of the next few blogs, we’ll be sharing with you the stories of organizations who we’re happy to support in Manitoba.

Longtime readers of our blog will undoubtedly remember our participation in the 2012 World’s Largest Truck Convoy which benefited the Special Olympics.

So it should come as no surprise that we once again revved up this past September and took part in the beneficiary event once again.

Dr. Hook was once again part of the Convoy and we thought we’d share the sight with you. If you have yet to be on hand for the Convoy as it rolls through Manitoba, the sight below might convince you to join us in 2014!

Congratulations to all members of Manitoba’s trucking industry for the incredible effort you have shown once again. We’re proud to be part of this opportunity with you.
