On October 9th, 2010 all female drivers with class 1 licenses are invited to join in the second annual Convoy for a Cure - Atlantic Canada, a project which will promote females and their role in the trucking industry and at the same time raise funds for Breast Cancer research.

A complimentary breakfast will be served to all female participants at  the Salisbury Circle K Irving Big Stop.Champlain Paul Legere will be present to say grace. Once the trucks have been decorated, Paul will bless the Convoy and the RCMP escort prior to their rolling down the TCH2 toward Aulac.

"Who will be the lead truck?" you ask. It could be you! The female who raises the most money through pledges will have that honor.

The winner will have a choice to drive in her own unit or a new 2011 Pink Freightliner,compliments of Universal Sales ,Dieppe New Brunswick.
