Kids enjoy Trucks * UK - One day at the seaside

Forget limousines - dozens of disadvantaged youngsters travelled to the seaside in luxury yesterday after being chauffeur driven aboard a convoy of trucks

Norwich,UK -The Norwich Evening Nerws 24, by SAM WILLIAMS -25 August 2008: -- More than 80 heavy goods vehicles, each carrying a deserving young person from the region, left County Hall in Norwich at 10am for a day out at Pleasurewood Hills theme park at Corton, near Lowestoft, as part of the 23rd annual East Coast Truckers' children's convoy... Hundreds of well-wishers braved the wet weather to cheer on the trucks as they left the city to take youngsters with disabilities and from difficult backgrounds out for a day of entertainment... After a day of fun at the theme park the children were picked up by their drivers to travel on to the Yarmouth seafront before heading back to County Hall in the early evening...

"Touch a Truck Day" * USA - Kids see city’s biggest and loudest trucks

The sounds of wailing sirens and booming horns permeated the air for two hours as more than 300 children and their families showed up for the fourth annual Touch a Truck Day.

West Chicago,IL,USA -West Chicago Press, by Danya Hooker -Jun 05, 2007: -- If you drove past Reed-Keppler Park last Saturday, you might have thought Chicago rush hour had hit West Chicago... There were about 30 vehicles opening their doors for children to honk horns, pretend to drive and tour the inside... Police officer Tony Quarto said he got the idea for the free event after reading about a nearby town offering something similar...
