Each fall, Mill Creek Middle School in Dexter transports more than 250 students to seventh grade camp, and this year, they got a boost from Con-way Freight of Ann Arbor.

The group of students do not travel light, and their luggage requires the capacity of a semi truck. This led the school to solicit a trucking company to carry the load.

Con-way Freight Vice President of Operations Paul Lorensen asked local Service Center Manager Mark Villeneuve if they had the capacity to assist. Villeneuve thought it was a great way to give back to their community. and senior driver Jimmy Kincer, pictured holding a thank you sign Con-way received from the Dexter pupils, was up for the task.
