SOUTHERN TIRE MART AT PILOT FLYING J OFFERS FREE & ROAD-READY CHECKS FOR PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS DURING DRIVER APPRECIATION WEEK |
|
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 13, 2021
CONTACT: Ashlea K. Maddox | amaddox@dcinvestors.com | 601.424.0140
To honor America’s professional drivers, Southern Tire Mart at Pilot Flying J (STMPFJ) is providing free Safe & Road-Ready Checks during Driver Appreciation Week, set for September 13-17. Professional drivers are invited to take advantage of this complimentary service at all 33 conveniently located STMPFJ Truck Care centers across the country.
“We are proud to partner with drivers and recognize the importance of what they do for this country each and every day,” said John Boynton, president of STMPFJ. “Helping them stay road-ready is what we do best, and we are happy to provide our Safe & Road-Ready Checks free of charge for Driver Appreciation Week as a small token of our respect and thanks.”
STMPFJ’s Safe & Road-Ready Checks are heavily focused on the inspection of the tires and brakes as well as the assessment of windshields, exhaust, lights and more. Performing proper inspections on each of these will help reduce the chances of receiving a violation.
In addition to the complimentary Safe & Road-Ready Check, each customer will also receive a complimentary Driver Appreciation Week tumbler for any service at their nearest STMFPJ Truck Care Center (While supplies last).
STMPFJ is prepared to get drivers in, out and back on the road again as efficiently and safely as possible. “Thorough preventative maintenance checks, standard truck services and dependable name brand tires are what fleet drivers can always expect from STMPFJ’s teams,” according to Boynton.
