The association raised more than $40,000 through the event to benefit Camp Sunshine and Camp Postcard.
For the drivers appreciation event 459 trucks rolled through during the three hours of serving lunch at the south bound scale house on I-95 in Kittery, of which around 125 pulled in to have a hot lunch and some snacks, according to a news release from Joshua White, publicity officer with the Maine Professional Drivers Association.
This year’s Trucking 4 Kids Convoy drew 83 trucks, with approximately 35 drivers competing in the skills competition. Many items were raffled off as well.
