Big G Express - Sept/Oct 2019

BIG G EXPRESS’ TIMOTHY CHELETTE NAMED PILOT FLYING J ROAD WARRIOR

Chelette has been part of the Big G family for 15 years and driven more than 1.9 million accident-free miles. He has served as a Tennessee Road Team Captain and currently serves as an America’s Road Team Captain, presenting programs about safety across the nation. In the last four years, Chelette has raised more than $30,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through an annual motorcycle ride he created. “It is a great honor to be named the Road Warrior winner,” Chelette said. “Thank you to Big G Express for nominating me and to Pilot Flying J for putting on this great program that recognizes drivers like me. I will be able to do more charity rides now that my motorcycle will be paid off. I appreciate everyone who voted; it really means a lot.”

Big G professional truck driver Timothy Chelette was named winner of the Pilot Flying J sixth annual Road Warrior contest as part of the company’s kickoff to National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Chelette, who lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, won the $10,000 grand prize.

Each year, the Road Warrior program allows Pilot Flying J to honor the unsung “heroes on the road” who go above and beyond as professional drivers. This year, judges selected the three finalists from more than 7,500 online nominations for their superior efforts in the U.S. trucking industry. To honor Chelette as the grand prize winner, Big G partnered with Pilot Flying J to surprise him with the news of his win and present him with his $10,000 check.

In addition to the $10,000 grand prize, Pilot Flying J also donated $500 to a charity of choice for Big G, which, of course, was St. Jude!
