Hastings Police Department
World's Largest Truck Convoy®
All funds raised from the event will benefit Nebraska Special Olympics Athletes. The Truck Convoy will start at The Adams County Fairgrounds and take Highway #6 to Showboat, north on the bypass road to 42nd Street and then north on Highway #281 and end at Bosselman's Travel Center in Grand Island.
To be part of the Convoy truckers simply donate a $100 entry fee, send a completed registration form (download it below) to Special Olympics Nebraska and meet at Smith Softball Complex in Hastings. Participants will be welcomed by Special Olympics athletes and their families, colleagues, law enforcement officers and the organizations that make up the trucking industry.
The Truck Convoy is more than just a convoy, though, it's a great way for truckers and the trucking industry to be involved in the community, send a positive message about the trucking industry and interact with Special Olympic Athletes of Nebraska. While the Convoy is on the 16th, there are a lot events planned around the Convoy. On the 15th there will be a variety of activities at the Adams County Fairgrounds for all the Convoy participants and athletes. Then following the Convoy on the 16th there will be an awards ceremony at Bosselman's. Often times, participants find the events before and after the Convoy to be the most fun and rewarding aspects of the Truck Convoy.
