Holiday miles can feel long, especially when you are running tight schedules, cold weather routes, and back-to-back deliveries. This year, Pilot is leaning into the season with small comforts every driver can appreciate. From warm coffees to quick gift ideas you can grab during a fuel stop, the company is aiming to make winter hauls a little easier.
“The holidays are about those small, comforting moments, like a hot cup of coffee and your favorite sweet treat on a chilly morning,” said Sean Marrero, senior vice president of food and beverage at Pilot. “We love being part of people’s journeys and bringing those simple joys to the road, adding a little extra cheer to every mile.”
Coffee and Snacks That Hit the Spot on Long Shifts
Pilot is offering a limited-time Hostess and coffee pairing that fits neatly into a driver’s budget. The bundle includes any size hot coffee and two single-serve Hostess snacks for five dollars. Professional drivers can pick it up now through January 6, 2026, at participating locations.
Along with the bundle, the winter drink lineup is back. Drivers rolling through early mornings, late nights, or icy conditions can find:
- Bourbon Pecan, a warm and nutty seasonal favorite
• Campo Sur Brazilian, a smooth single-origin medium roast
• White Chocolate Candy Cane Hot Chocolate, a sweet and comforting option
• Mocha Cold Brew for drivers who prefer something chilled
• Peppermint Mocha Creamer to add a seasonal twist to any coffee
These options give drivers more variety, especially during long weeks on the road when routines get repetitive.
A Practical Gift Stop for Drivers on Tight Schedules
Many truck drivers spend most of December away from home, which means last-minute shopping often has to happen between deliveries. Pilot is making that easier with a digital Holiday Gift Guide and a selection of items suited for people who live and work on the road.
“If you’re already fueling up and grabbing a coffee, why not pick up a fun, memorable gift that says, ‘I was thinking of you, even from the road,’” said Kari Irons, vice president, brand and marketing at Pilot. “Our selection of holiday gifts turns that mid-trip pit stop into a surprising one-stop shop for everyone on your list, proving that the best gifts can also be the most convenient.”
Drivers can find options grouped into simple categories, including:
- Cozy hoodies, knit beanies, soft socks, and travel blankets
• Holiday toys and Pilot’s annual elf plush
• Bagged bourbon pecan coffee beans, limited-edition drinks, and travel mugs
• On-the-road gear such as jump starters, dash cams, and speakers
• Sweet and salty seasonal treats
• Last-minute picks like gift cards and ornaments
For drivers who rarely get long breaks, having gift options at the same place you fuel up or grab breakfast saves time and adds convenience.
