A special convoy

itself as a champion for our athletes and what more can we ask but that? We have truckers from all over the country here, and what we notice from these drivers is sure, they’re here doing the convoy here in Paris today, but many may very well join other convoys across Canada and the U.S. after this.”
There was one very special driver this year that stood out among the others, according to Blackwell.
Dan Einwechter, founder of Chal- lenger Motor Freight was one of the 72 drivers in the convoy this year. It’s something he said he’s wanted to do for a long time.
“I’ve always wanted to be a part of this, but just never had the time,” he said. “And finally, this year it worked out.”
Like all the other convoy drivers, Einwechter had an athlete join him in his truck.
“I’ve always wanted to be a part of this, but just never had the time. And finally, this year it worked out.”
– Dan Einwechter, Challenger
“He is absolutely one of the bus- iest guys we know,” Blackwell said of Einwechter. “We had our fingers crossed that he would participate. We are so happy to have Challenger as one of our sponsors; they’ve really amped up their participation this year and have 13 units participat- ing today.”
While Blackwell said she was thrilled about the great turnout and success of the convoy this year, her and other organizations are looking toward next year’s con- voy – the 15th annual – to be the greatest ever.
“The challenge in year 15 is, we want to break the $1 million ceiling that we’ve been heading towards,” she said. “As well in year 15, we want to break 131 trucks which will represent, 116 as our high, plus one for every year the con- voy’s been around. We are work- ing on that. We want our drivers to feel good about what they’ve done. I can’t say enough about trucking industry – we couldn’t do any of this without them.” TN
