Katherine Johnson offered $50 on Facebook if a truck driver would take her son Oliver for a ride for his birthday. But Hart Haulage CEO Barry Hart decided to arrange a truck convoy.

Hart put a call out on social media and 64 drivers turned up for Ollie’s birthday convoy on Sunday morning.

“I just saw that there was a kid who didn’t feel like he had friends and didn’t feel like he had a community around him,” Hart said.

“I wanted to make sure that, and I would like to hope that every kid knows, that there is a community and people out there that will back them and stand beside them.” […]

“When it comes to kids, this community, these truckers will always come out,” he said.
