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.

The Manitoba Trucking Association has become known for being a true brotherhood in our province, and the kinship is never more visible in Winnipeg than at the annual World’s Largest Truck Convoy.

Taking place every September, the convoy brings together Manitoba companies in a site that is really something to behold.

Dr. Hook was proud to be part of this year’s convoy, which took place on Saturday, September 15. It was one of five concurrent convoys that took place across Canada, including events in Winnipeg, Halifax, Saskatoon, Paris, ON and Moncton, NB.

Across all cities, 351 trucks took part in the convoy and raised almost $200,000 for various charities. The Manitoba convoy alone saw 141 trucks, with more than $65,000 raised for Special Olympics.
