Road Pro is once again the presenting sponsor for the event.
For the past 26 years, hundreds of trucks have gathered to help raise money for Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Northern Delaware & Susquehanna Valley, a charity that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
New this year is the ability for truckers to create their own online fundraising page. If you need assistance, call (717) 283-4880.
Last year, the convoy raised more than $300,000. Organizers hope to beat that mark by attracting 500 trucks and setting a new world record for longest truck convoy.
The convoy assembles at the Burle Business Park in Lancaster and events get started at 8:30 a.m. Plans call for the convoy to depart the business park at 1:30 p.m., travel to Ephrata, Pennsylvania and return.
