Additional MyRewards points, giveaways offered to professional drivers through September
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 12, 2014) – While professional drivers have an official week of appreciation in September, Pilot Flying J is celebrating the entire month in recognition of their hard work to keep America moving.
“As part of what we do every day, we strive to thank the ‘Road Warriors’ who serve as professional drivers,” Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam said. “But we’re especially honored to recognize these outstanding men and women during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week and throughout the month of September.
“We are grateful to these men and women for spending long hours on the road, away from family and friends, to keep our country running smoothly. That’s why it’s always been our top priority to help make their life and job run smoothly while on the road.”
Pilot Flying J will offer additional MyRewards points and giveaways for professional drivers throughout September. National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is held Sept. 14-20.
Every weekday from September 15-19, Pilot Flying J is offering:
