The Road Warrior contest aims to recognize the dedication and resilience of truckers who navigate challenging conditions to keep the continent moving. To participate, supporters are encouraged to visit Pilot’s Facebook page and nominate deserving drivers by commenting on the weekly Road Warrior recognition posts. Each week, a $1,000 prize will be awarded to a standout nominee based on their nomination story. At the end of the campaign, one of these weekly winners will take home the grand prize, with all winners announced in October.

“It truly is an honor to work shoulder to shoulder with professional drivers who keep North America moving, day in and day out,” said Jordan Spradling, vice president of transportation and logistics at Pilot. He emphasized Pilot’s commitment to acknowledging and supporting these essential workers.

The Driver Appreciation campaign is aligned with Pilot’s new creative approach, highlighting the tireless individuals who make remote locations feel connected. Featuring real truck drivers, the campaign sends a heartfelt message of gratitude with the slogans ‘Here’s to You’ and ‘See You Out Here.’ Throughout September, these drivers will be featured prominently in Pilot’s commercials, billboards, store displays, and digital platforms.

In addition to the contest, Pilot is offering exclusive benefits to professional drivers through the myRewards Plus app at participating Pilot, Flying J, and One9 travel centers. These offers include:

• Three free drinks each week, featuring Pilot coffee, fountain beverages, and popular cooler items.
• Special discounts on top snack brands.
• Additional savings for military and veteran drivers, combining snack discounts with a 10% military discount on food and drinks (verified via ID.me).

Currently employed by Boyd Grain in Washington, Indiana, Crouse goes above and beyond his role on the road. He passionately honors fallen soldiers by working with Wreaths Across America and serving as part of the official escort to Arlington National Cemetery. In addition, he and his wife, Cindy, organize ceremonies throughout Indiana to pay tribute to America’s heroes.

As the grand prize winner, Crouse was awarded $15,000 in prize money.
