Convoy for a Cause TMC once again had
the honor of participating in the annual World’s Largest Truck Convoy to benefit Special Olympics Iowa on Saturday, October 5th. This was a milestone year for TMC, as it was our 15th year participating in the convoy. The rain couldn’t put a damper on the pride of the Black and Chrome! We had 17 TMC drivers participate in the convoy, and there were 112 trucks total for the event. TMC’s Recruiting Department provided coffee
and donuts at registration near the starting point, which was on the SW Connector off of Veterans Parkway in Des Moines.
and each raved about their experience. For one athlete, it was his second time riding in a TMC truck.
Once everyone was checked in and the Iowa DOT gave a briefing on Driver Safety, the first three positions in the convoy were auctioned off. TMC secured the first spot, and driver Carlos Burris was voted to take the lead, along with one of the athletes.
The event wrapped up at the Iowa State Fairgrounds with a celebration for athletes, drivers and volunteers.
Two other drivers had the opportunity to share their trucks with Special Olympic athletes,
We want to thank the participating TMC drivers listed below and their families for their hard work, dedication, and participation in this year’s convoy. These drivers
Aaron Frost • Carlos Burris Jr. • Corbin Wait • Edward Dolsen Jr. • Gene Richardson • John Patrick Ray • Robert Johnson • Robert Wilcox • Ron LeBlan
