ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Convoy

A convoy is like a group of friends who are traveling together in their own cars on the road to get to their destination. They usually travel close to each other so that they can stay safe and help each other if something goes wrong.

Just like friends in a convoy, there are big trucks called "trucks" that travel together on the road. These trucks usually carry things like food, toys, or clothes that we buy from the store. The trucks have different drivers who are trying to get to their destination.

When the trucks travel together, they can help each other by driving close to each other so that it is harder for other cars to get in between them. This also helps them save fuel and make their trips faster.

Sometimes, when there is a lot of traffic or if the roads are not safe, the trucks may decide to travel in a convoy with other trucks. This way, they can work together to make sure that they all arrive safely and on time at their destination.

In summary, a convoy is like a group of friends, but for trucks on the road. They travel together to stay safe, save fuel, and help each other get to their destination on time.
