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.

Dr. Hook Part of Convoy That Helps Special Olympics

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.

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.
