Batiste was selected for his tireless dedication and commitment to professional driving, receiving the largest prize in contest history – a custom Kenworth truck built by the Diesel Brothers and a $50,000 cash prize. Pilot’s Road Warrior contest is a way for the company to say thanks to the drivers who go the extra mile and keep North America moving. A bonus second-place winner, Bobby Peeker of Woodruff, South Carolina, is also being awarded a $10,000 cash prize and a $25,000 donation on his behalf to a charity supporting veterans’ causes of his choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span>“We received thousands of entries celebrating the efforts of drivers who go the extra mile each and every day. Stacy’s and Bobby’s hard work, dedication to the profession, commitment to safety and service stood out. We are honored to welcome them to the Road Warrior winner’s circle,” said Jordan Spradling, senior vice president of transportation and midstream assets at Pilot Company. “They both are prime examples of the positive impact professional drivers have on and off the road.”</span></p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:start;"><span>Batiste has dedicated the past 33 years to being on the road, logging more than 5.1 million accident-free miles and considers trucking to be his calling. Batiste has been recognized throughout his career for his commitment to road safety. A Marine Corps veteran, Batiste is motivated by the pride of knowing his efforts keep communities and families supplied with the goods they need. In addition to his time behind the wheel, he routinely goes the extra mile to mentor younger drivers and serves as a pillar in his local community.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:start;"><span>On October 21, Pilot surprised Batiste with his prize while he was working and on the road. Batiste had stopped at a Flying J in Baytown, Texas, when Pilot and the Diesel Brothers handed over the keys to the custom Kenworth truck and presented the $50,000 check. His family hid in the travel center to be a part of the surprise. They say Batiste’s first job as a professional driver was hauling sugar cane in South Louisiana, and now, as an owner-operator, this truck will further his passion for safe driving and making a difference in his community.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span>With the amount of heart-warming stories that were submitted through this year’s Road Warrior nomination process, Pilot selected an additional deserving winner. Bobby Peeker, also a Marine Corps veteran, will receive a $10,000 cash prize and a $25,000 donation made by Pilot on his behalf to a charity of his choice that supports veterans’ causes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3113/ab432098-0721-4029-9ec7-6ac8b7e69ecc/1920_bobbypeeker.png?10000"><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:start;"><span>Peeker boasts more than 1 million accident-free miles and supports the military community following his service in the Marine Corps, regularly volunteering his time and resources to aid his fellow servicemen and servicewomen. He also participates in truck shows that support the Special Olympics. His family instilled his passion for the profession, which was only strengthened by the role his grandfather played to help remove rubble from the 9/11 attacks with his truck.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:start;"><span>For over 10 years, Pilot has celebrated professional drivers and recognized them as Road Warriors for their dedication to going the extra mile.

Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, Pilot is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and employs approximately 30,000 team members. As the largest network of travel centers, Pilot has more than 900 locations in 44 states and five Canadian provinces, serving an average of 1.2 million guests per day. In addition to travel center services, Pilot and its partners offer trucking fleets a variety of solutions for fuel, credit, factoring, maintenance and rewards.

Building on this legacy, the company’s first-ever chief marketing officer, Adrienne Ingoldt, is leading the charge to make Pilot an iconic brand and the travel center of choice for all who love the open road.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:start;">“It’s the people and the moments along the way that make being on the road so much more than just traveling from point A to B,” Ingoldt explains. “We’ve found that people who choose to drive – wherever their journey takes them – have a shared desire to embrace all the possibilities along the way. Pilot is out here to fuel them up, fill them up and lift them up.”</p><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:start;">To develop this campaign, Pilot spoke to all types of drivers to better understand the community it serves. These conversations revealed an essential truth: out on the road, like in life, it’s about the journey and what you make of it, not just the destination. Drivers of all kinds answer the call of the road because it puts them in the driver’s seat of life, where they feel alive and free.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:start;">This campaign is the first to showcase Pilot’s refreshed brand identity which includes a fresh, bold style with a new, modern logo, a more vibrant color palette and a relatable, witty brand voice. With its updated brand aesthetic and welcoming call to, ‘See You Out Here,’ Pilot invites everyone to create miles of memories along the way. The new brand comes to life through broadcast television in ﬁve key markets across the U.S., nationwide billboards, social media, radio ads and more.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:start;">The hero of the campaign is a<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeWJcTzgziQ">30-second television commercial</a><span>&nbsp;</span>that turns up the volume on everybody’s favorite road trip anthem, Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway,” and features everyday people, all kinds of drivers moving to the rhythm of the road. The ad is currently airing on major networks and streaming on connected TV platforms. The new brand elements and motto of “See You Out Here” will continue across the company’s owned channels and in key moments throughout the year.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:start;">“Everyone who’s ever hand-surfed out the window or belted out an epic car power ballad knows the middle of nowhere can be the greatest somewhere,” added Ingoldt. “Our brand is how we show up for drivers – whether it’s in the middle of a rigorous multi-day haul or an epic road trip, we get them and have just what they need to keep that upbeat feeling rolling. See you out here!”&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:start;">Learn more about the “See You Out Here” campaign and listen to the brand’s curated summer playlist by visiting<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.pilotflyingj.com/life-is-a-highway">https://pilotﬂyingj.com/life-is-a-highway</a>.

Since then, our team has been hard at work to ensure to improve the overall guest experience. This month marks 100 remodeled travel centers, and we couldn’t be prouder! Our guests and team members have showed so much patience throughout the renovation process and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thankfully, it’s been worth it. Here’s a comment a guest left on one of our New Horizons blogs a couple of months ago that sums up why we do what we do:</p><p style="text-align:center;"><i>“As a professional driver, I appreciate a clean and updated facility. Keep up the great work.”</i></p><p><img class="image-style-align-left alignleft wp-image-7624" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/b4770898-4bc9-42bb-8829-909607fe65b4/pfjnov.png" width="155" height="248"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:left;">Check out the details of this month’s three remodeled travel centers below. If you stop by any of these locations anytime in November, you can receive 25% off your food and beverage purchase by using the code “<strong>PFJNov</strong>” in the <a href="https://www.pilotflyingj.com/rewards?_gl=1*18r2qig*_gcl_au*MTQwNzMxMzEzMS4xNjk0MDMxODM0*_ga*MzI5ODg0NDkuMTY5NDAzMTgzNA..*_ga_JQ5RPHB2EE*MTY5ODc4ODQzMC4zOS4xLjE2OTg3ODg5MTEuMC4wLjA.&_ga=2.231595160.649207431.1698781017-32988449.1694031834">myRewards Plus app</a>.</p><h2><strong>Salt Lake City, Utah Flying J Travel Center</strong></h2><p>This location marks the milestone of 100 remodels in the New Horizons project, and we’re planning to celebrate BIG. If you’re in the Salt Lake area, stop by on Nov. 2, 2023, anytime from 3-7 p.m. MT to join the fun. There will be prizes, swag giveaways, special guests like TV personalities The Diesel Brothers and travel-influencers The Jurgys and more! Team members will also present a $20,000 donation to the Salt Lake Education Foundation, in support of the West High School Health Clinic.</p><p>The remodel refreshed all restrooms and showers, all restrooms and showers were refreshed as well and added three self-checkouts as well, bringing a quicker and convenient shopping experience to our guests. Other improvements include updates to the public laundry facilities, professional driver lounge and team member breakroom.</p><h2><strong>Greenfield, Indiana Pilot Travel Center</strong></h2><p><img class="wp-image-7620" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/320fd094-d13f-4848-ae3d-1fa4d6ed5594/1400x450-store-30-greenfield-indiana-1-500x161.jpg" width="528" height="170"></p><p>As the first stop on I-70 east of Indianapolis, it’s important to us that we’re providing the best possible experience for our guests. We heard from you that our Greenfield location needed some extra love, so we did a mega-makeover, from curb to counter! Everything is brand new, including the restrooms and showers. Plus, this store now has public laundry facilities, four self-checkouts and a driver lounge. Stop in and try the Big Dog – only available until December – made in the brand-new kitchen.</p><p>If you’re in the Indianapolis area or will be passing through at the end of the month, stop by this totally transformed location for our celebration on Nov. 28, 2023! Team members will welcome the local community to the store to see the renovations, play games, win prizes, enjoy food samples and more. This location will also give $20,000 back to the local community. Greenfield-Central Community Schools will receive $10,000 for “Project Lead the Way” biomedical innovation classes. Mount Vernon Schools will also receive $10,000, which will support their “Back to the Future” AI program.</p><h2><strong>Quartzsite, Arizona Pilot Travel Center</strong></h2><p><img class="size-medium wp-image-7622" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/d3caa4db-90fa-4cfd-b30f-20a3994a0335/quartzsite-324-exterior-500x222.jpeg" width="500" height="222"></p><p>What a Quartz-sight to see! With three new self-checkouts and refreshed restrooms and showers, this location might look like a mirage in the desert, but luckily this travel center is really there.</p><p>We added a breakroom for our team members who keep the store going and also expanded food offerings for our guests, including a new Taco Bell! Don’t forget to pick up a bag of cinnamon twists or a Cheesy Gordita Crunch!</p><p>Thanks for following along. Stay tuned for more New Horizons remodels next month – we’re continuing to remodel our stores across the country in order to create an exceptional guest experience and provide our team members with the best work environment possible. &nbsp;Safe travels!</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Blog Posts,Network Growth,Pilot app]]></category>

I’ve also notice that other guests are more likely than before to jump in the conversation,” Blanca said.</p><p>West Wendover’s remodel also included expanded coolers to hold more drinks for thirsty guests. Plus, the redesigned deli island has decreased foot-traffic jams! Other renovations include updated showers, restrooms, laundry, and a refreshed employee breakroom.</p><h2><strong>Gretna, Nebraska Flying J Travel Center</strong></h2><img style="aspect-ratio:300/auto;" src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3113/44a467d5-42f8-4a85-9308-8449654937da/800_GretnaBeforeAfterpng-1-500x329.png?x=1750357794074" alt="GretnaBeforeAfterpng-1-500x329.png" width="300" height="auto"><p style="text-align:left;">Our store in Gretna has had quite the glow up! Beyond the cosmetic upgrades on the retail floor, back of house operations are sure to run smoother thanks to the addition of an outdoor walk-in cooler and extra storage. With this update, this location’s team members have the space they need to prepare the newly extended menu!</p><h2><strong>San Diego, California Pilot Travel Center</strong></h2><p>After the remodel, this location’s restrooms and showers sparkle and shine. Not only are the facilities at the San Diego Pilot updated, but the store layout has also transformed the experience.</p><p>“Even though we didn’t physically move any walls, it feels like there’s way more space on the retail floor. There’s better flow and better travel paths for customers. It’s a more comfortable environment for both work and retail,” General Manager Scott Minsky said.</p><h2><strong>Richfield, Ohio Pilot Travel Center</strong></h2><p>With four self-checkouts, a new kitchen, and expanded coolers, guests and team members are set up for success. More food options will help feed hungry travelers while team members can take their breaks in a new breakroom! Both the Cinnabon and Wendy’s were updated in this location, so don’t forget to grab a Baconator on your way out!</p><p><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="aspect-ratio:200/auto;width:200px;" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/eb886f43-7fef-478a-a79c-9bcb691bcc61/500_MonroeMICooler.jpg" width="200" height="auto"></p><h2><strong>Monroe, Michigan Pilot Travel Center</strong></h2><p>The Pilot in Monroe just got a whole lot <i>cooler,</i> thanks to the remodel just about doubling the amount of doors!</p><p>“We went from a nine-door cooler to 17 doors. We’re able to be much more organized and eliminated a lot of back stock. Our vendors love it and we’re all ve<span>ry happy with how it’s turned out,” team member Becky Moran said.</span></p><p>Expanded restrooms and more food options made this stop even better for guests. Plus, team members got a new breakroom!</p><h2><strong>Fort Chiswell, Virginia Flying J Travel Center</strong></h2><p>Starting to get hungry while driving on I-77? Another upgrade at the Fort Chiswell Flying J is the expanded, improved kitchen where hot, made-in-house meals are!</p><p>The remodel also brought a new game room, providing a space beyond the drivers’ lounge for guests to take a break from the road. Team members also gained a place to relax thanks to the renovation.</p><p>“Part of the remodel was an addition of a team member lounge, which we didn’t have the space for before, so that was a huge win,” General Manager Robert Bolton said.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Monteagle, Tennessee Pilot Travel Center</strong></h2><p><span>The remodel in Monteagle has improved the location’s seven showers, expanded the cooler, and updated the breakroom! There’s new tile and cabinets throughout the store and a completely renovated kitchen! This location also features a Dunkin’ Express, which has been updated, so if you’re in the area stop by for a fresh cup of joe.</span></p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Blog Posts,Network Growth,Pilot app]]></category>

                        <guid>https://newsroom.pilotcompany.com/make-the-most-of-your-labor-day-travels-with-these-road-trip-hacks/</guid><pp:caseid>707389</pp:caseid><description><![CDATA[<p>Ready for a much-needed weekend getaway? Hoping to avoid traffic while road tripping to your Labor Day destination? Amidst a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/travel-insurance/summer-vacation-2022-trends/">record-high</a> amount of summer vacationers on the road, we’ve comprised a list of best-practices for your upcoming road trip to help you get the best bang for your buck (and save you some time). Here are 4 tips to keep in mind while planning any road trip:</p><h2>1. Map out your road trip</h2><p>When it comes to planning a trip, a little preliminary research goes a long way. Figuring out the best time to leave and typical traffic patterns are great ways to help you dodge heavy traffic, whether that means mapping out your journey on paper or plotting the route mentally. <a href="https://pilotflyingj.com/rewards/">Use our app</a> or Google to find ideal driving times and cities that might be worth a stop along the way. For example, if you’re headed up to DC for the weekend from Charlotte, NC, why not skip standstill 5 o’clock traffic by picnicking at <a href="https://www.nps.gov/prwi/index.htm">Prince William Forest Park</a>? Or why not snap a family picture at the World’s Tallest Thermometer in Baker, CA?</p><p><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="aspect-ratio:200/auto;width:200px;" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/b48ebb56-1a6e-48fa-b1b7-fa02616a6143/500_thermometer-photo.jpg" width="200" height="auto"></p><p>Planning a trip in advance gives you the ability to be creative and make memories even before you reach your destination.</p><h3>How to plan a trip using our myRewards Plus<sup>TM</sup> App</h3><p>Road tripping just got a whole lot easier with our myRewards Plus<sup>TM</sup> App, which has a search function to assist in planning a trip anywhere across the country. Here’s how you can plan a road trip through our app:</p><h3>Download or log into the Pilot Flying J myRewards Plus<sup>TM</sup> App</h3><p>First, download or log into our app, which features all sorts of deals and discounts on gas and beverages. In fact, through October 31, app users can <a href="https://blog.pilotflyingj.com/how-to-save-10-cents-on-every-gallon-of-gas-through-october-31/">save 10 cents</a> for every gas gallon at the pump.</p><h3>Select “Find” at the bottom of the screen</h3><p>Once you’re logged in to the app, you’ll see the “Find” button at the bottom left of your screen. Click that, which will take you to our North American map.</p><h3>Type your destination in the search function</h3><p>At the top of the screen, you’ll see a magnified glass icon with the prompt, “Where are you going today?” Type in your road trip destination, which will take you to the “plan your trip” function.</p><p>The “Plan Trip” button will prompt you to choose a starting point and destination. Fill out that information, then select the “Continue” button at the bottom of the screen for the map to route accordingly.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="aspect-ratio:200/auto;width:200px;" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/b181cbc4-ba69-47d9-b834-3d03d1591ede/500_Plan-trip-button-on-Pilot-app.jpg" width="200" height="auto"></p><h3>Route your trip</h3><p>The map will show you your route, with any Pilot or Flying J locations that are along the way. You can find information on current gas prices, restaurants, and even the exit number for any travel center you might want to stop at.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="aspect-ratio:155/auto;width:155px;" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/a2cff043-4831-4488-bea6-7df4c3b289aa/500_Charlotte-NC-to-DC-route-on-Pilot-app.jpg" width="155" height="auto"></p><h3>Save your upcoming trip for when it’s time to hit the road</h3><p>Once you’ve finalized your route and where you might want to stop along the way, click the “Save Trip” button at the top left of the screen. This confirmation should then pop up:</p><p>Voila! Your next road tripping adventure is all set.</p><h2>2. Safety is key</h2><p>Once you’ve planned your trip, it’s important to make sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape for the trek ahead. Have a maintenance check, making sure your oil, fluids, tires, and lights are all working properly. Is your spare still in the back? Are both jumper cables in the vehicle? Check for any emergency necessities should anything happen on your road trip, and make sure to have your <a href="https://member.acg.aaa.com/">AAA information</a> or other roadside service on hand.</p><h2>3. Make your road-tripping travels comfortable</h2><p>When it comes to road tripping, comfort matters. Whether you’re driving with kids or headed out solo, a well-rested night of sleep and a quick pit stop for some amazing coffee goes a long way.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left" style="aspect-ratio:200/auto;width:200px;" src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/presspage-production-prd-content/uploads/3113/cb632612-dcc4-461d-8119-d8fc95c39ffe/500_Fall_Coffee_Pilot_Iced.jpg" width="200" height="auto"></p><p>Our stores are ready to serve you however you might need, from staple road trip snacks to a quick load of laundry to free Wi-Fi that’ll help you download that random show your kid’s been asking for in the backseat.</p><p>Our team is working hard to make stopping with us an even better experience through our <a href="https://www.pilotflyingj.com/new-horizons">New Horizons</a> initiative, a store modernization project that’ll help remodel more than 450 of our stores across North America.</p><h2>4. Every stop counts</h2><p><i>“Are we there yet?”</i></p><p><i>“…Are we close?”</i></p><p><i>“…How far are we?”</i></p><p>Road tripping with kids can be challenging. And let’s face it: bathroom breaks and pit stops for snacks and fuel are inevitable. So why not make every stop count? Kill two, three, or even four birds with one stone by stopping at a place that has it all. You can save both time and money through our myRewards Plus<sup>TM</sup> app, which can help you find the quickest Pilot and Flying J travel center, offer discounts on your favorite snacks, and help you stock up on other travel necessities (think car chargers and sunglasses). And don’t forget about our 10-cent gas discount you can use any time you fill up with us through October 31!</p><h2>Enjoy the open road</h2><p>Getting there’s half the fun! Let the journey and unexpected pit stops at roadside attractions be a part of your road trip. These are some of the best memories you can make with your family. Headed anywhere exciting? Visit our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pilottravelcenters">Facebook page</a> and share your next road trip destination with us!</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Blog Posts,Pilot app]]></category>

And as part of our Giving Back initiative, Pilot Company is donating $10,000 check to Bartow County School System for its STEM programs.</p><p>The New Horizons project is all about creating an even better experience for both our guests and team members at the stores, providing additional opportunities for growth and efficiency. Cartersville is the perfect example of that:</p><blockquote><p>“The addition of the enhanced deli/kitchen not only provides our guests with even more popularly requested food options, but it’s also allowed one of my best team members to take on a new leadership role and have ownership over that part of our business.” – Stefan, Pilot Travel Center’s General Manager in Cartersville.</p></blockquote><p>We look forward to investing in even more of our stores as we continue to remodel over 400 travel centers across North America.

                        <title>Spicing Up Our Corbin Travel Center: New Look, New Food Concept, Monster Girls, And More!</title>

                        <guid>https://newsroom.pilotcompany.com/spicing-up-our-corbin-travel-center-new-look-new-food-concept-monster-girls-and-more/</guid><pp:caseid>707347</pp:caseid><description><![CDATA[<p>Our team and Monster Energy brought the heat last Friday to our Pilot Travel Center in Corbin, KY, to celebrate the completion of its grand remodel.</p><p>We kicked off the festivities with an official ribbon cutting and check presentation ceremony, followed by a day of freebies, photos and fun with Monster Energy and the local radio stations. The remodel and event are part of our larger initiative, <a href="https://www.pilotflyingj.com/new-horizons">New Horizons</a>, to modernize more than 400 of our travel centers across the country.</p><p>Unique to this location in Corbin, KY is that it was the very first travel center in Pilot history, first opening its doors in 1981. This historic travel center now has a fully refreshed look and upgraded amenities, including a new proprietary food concept called Burrito Junction.</p><blockquote><p>“We connect people and places,” said Jamie King, Senior Director of Food and Beverage for Pilot. “Burrito Junction is meant to be just that: a place for our guests to connect to delicious Tex-Mex food while on the road.”</p></blockquote><p>Despite being open only a month and a half, its manager, David Smith, says this new quick-serve concept already has regulars.</p><p>“We have about as much traffic during our midnight shift as we do our day shift,” David said. “It’s something different. People like different.”</p><p>In addition to Burrito Junction, the travel center also has an upgraded deli with additional grab-and-go items like sandwiches and salads, an expanded beverage selection, and four new self-checkouts for a quicker shopping experience.</p><blockquote><p>“Given the historical significance of this location and our long-time presence in the community, it is especially exciting to celebrate the renovation of this Pilot travel center with the people of Corbin and the travelers we serve every day,” said Allison Cornish, VP of Store Modernization at Pilot Company. “These improvements are made with both our team members and guests in mind, incorporating their feedback to introduce new food options and improve the overall store experience.”</p></blockquote><p>As part of our Giving Back initiative, we donated $20,000 to the Corbin Independent School District, which will provide new equipment the district’s career center opening in August. The center focuses on construction trades, HVAC, and carpentry.</p><blockquote><p>“We’re so excited to have Pilot as part of our community,” Suzie Razmus, Corbin’s mayor, said. “You’ve all been here a long time and have been a great asset to our community and to all the people that get off this interstate.”</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://blog.pilotflyingj.com/new-horizons-july-2022-these-latest-remodels-are-hot/">Click here</a> to read about July’s completed remodels across the country, and stay tuned for even more festivities and refreshes hitting our stores this year!</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Blog Posts,Network Growth,Pilot app]]></category>
