Pilot is honoring professional drivers in September with “a first-of-its-kind” Road Warrior contest and exclusive deals for Driver Appreciation Month, according to a press release.
This year, Pilot said it is teaming up with TV and YouTube personalities Diesel Brothers to award the 2025 Road Warrior winner with a customized Kenworth semi-truck and a $50,000 cash prize.
“At every turn, professional drivers bring their grit and dedication to deliver the goods that keep our economy moving,” said Jordan Spradling, vice president of transportation and logistics at Pilot. “We owe professional drivers our gratitude for their hard work. Driver Appreciation Month is an opportunity for us to say ‘thanks for the drive’ and show drivers how much they matter by recognizing and rewarding them for going the extra mile.”
Pilot said its Road Warrior contest shines a spotlight on professional drivers with excellent safety records and service to the community.
Customers can nominate a driver by completing the entry form between September 2 through September 19, 2025. The grand prize winner will be announced in October 2025.
To show appreciation for professional drivers, Pilot is offering exclusive deals for them in the Pilot app at participating Pilot, Flying J and One9 travel centers, including:
