Some promotions are limited to NTDAW, which runs September 13-19, while others continue through the end of the month. Available offers range from free food and bonus rewards to discounted DEF and a custom Kenworth giveaway.

Here is what drivers can still take advantage of this September.

OOIDA Drops Membership to $25

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association is offering new and renewing members a one-year membership for $25 through September 30, down from its regular $45 rate.

Drivers can receive the discounted rate by calling OOIDA at 816-229-5791 or signing up online with promo code FIGHT25.

OOIDA also brought its Spirit of the American Trucker tour truck to Truck World in Hubbard, Ohio, September 9-11, where the association sponsored complimentary lunches for professional drivers during the three-day stop.

Pilot Puts a Custom Kenworth and $50,000 Up for Grabs

Pilot’s annual Road Warrior contest is back with a considerably larger prize for this year’s winner. One professional driver will receive a Kenworth W990 customized by the Diesel Brothers along with $50,000 in cash.

Nominations remain open through September 18 for drivers recognized for professionalism, safety, and service, with the winner scheduled to be announced in October.

Pilot is also offering professional drivers three free drinks and a snack each week throughout September through its app at participating U.S. Pilot, Flying J and One9 locations. Select travel centers are hosting additional events with giveaways, samples, and other freebies.

Love’s Rolls Out Weekly Deals and Extra Points

TA Gives Drivers More Ways to Enter September Sweepstakes

TravelCenters of America is running its Every Driver Counts Sweepstakes throughout September, with entries tied to qualifying purchases made with an EarnifyPro account.

A single fill of at least 60 gallons of commercial diesel earns an entry, as does purchasing a Rapid, Premium, or Ultimate Oil Change or placing a work order of at least $500 at a TA Truck Service Center.

Sixteen prizes are available. Two grand-prize winners will each receive 50,000 EarnifyPro points, valued at $500, while the remaining prizes include TA and RFK Racing die-cast collectibles.

Sheetz Cuts Bulk DEF to $1.99 a Gallon

Sheetz has lowered bulk DEF to $1.99 per gallon through September 30 at 55 locations across its seven-state footprint that offer bulk DEF at the truck diesel dispensers.

Additional promotions are available at locations with high-flow truck diesel. Drivers can receive a free commercial diesel hat while supplies last, and customers purchasing high-flow diesel can get a free half-size sub.

Pumping 100 gallons of high-flow diesel also qualifies customers for one free eligible made-to-order item or beverage. That offer continues through October 27 and is limited to one redemption per day. The additional offers require a My Sheetz Rewards membership.

RaceTrac Adds Weekly Food and Drink Freebies

RaceTrac is giving professional drivers several recurring offers through September 30 through its Rewards program and app.

Each week, eligible drivers can receive one free pizza slice, one free fountain drink, and one free 16-ounce Reign, Bang, NOS, or Full Throttle energy drink. Members can also earn double loyalty points on fuel throughout the promotion.

C.H. Robinson Marks NTDAW With Carrier Recognition

C.H. Robinson is recognizing drivers and carriers during NTDAW under its “Built to Move” campaign. Employees at locations around the country assembled carrier swag bags with handwritten thank-you notes and items for the road, which are being distributed to drivers at C.H. Robinson facilities during the week.

The company will also recognize 17 Carrier of the Year winners at a September 17 ceremony in Minneapolis. Recipients range from one-truck owner-operators to fleets operating hundreds of trucks.

More Than One Week of Driver Deals

While several offers coincide directly with NTDAW, many continue well beyond September 19. OOIDA’s membership discount, Pilot’s weekly app offers, TA’s sweepstakes, Sheetz’s bulk DEF price, and RaceTrac’s driver promotions all remain available later in the month.

Requirements vary by promotion, with some offers tied to rewards accounts, apps, participating locations, or qualifying purchases. Checking those details before stopping can help drivers make sure an offer is available where they plan to redeem it.

For the eighth consecutive year, Pilot invites its guests to contribute by making donations in-store and, as a gesture of gratitude, enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee to keep them fueled throughout the day.

“At Pilot, safety goes beyond being road-ready — it’s about protecting what matters most: our team members, guests, and communities,” said Adrienne Ingoldt, Pilot’s Chief Marketing Officer and member of the American Heart Association’s Life is Why Council. “Standing together in the fight against heart disease and stroke — the leading and fifth-leading causes of death in our country — is a meaningful way to bring our purpose to life and show people they matter at every turn.”

How Guests Can Participate

From February 1–16, guests can visit participating Pilot, Flying J, and One9 Travel Centers to donate and help promote heart health. There are several ways to lend a hand:

• Paper Hearts: Guests can purchase paper hearts for $1, $3, or $5 at participating travel centers. Every penny supports the American Heart Association’s Life is Why campaign in the U.S. and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Those who buy a paper heart at U.S. locations will also receive a free any-size hot coffee via the Pilot myRewards Plus app as a thank-you gift for contributing.

• Pin Pad Donations: During checkout, guests can round up their in-store purchases to the nearest dollar or give an additional donation through the pin pad. All proceeds from U.S. contributions go to the American Heart Association’s Life is Why campaign, while funds raised at Canadian locations benefit the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

“We’re proud to support the American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada to promote heart health and safety,” Ingoldt said. “Every paper heart purchased and extra dollar donated fuels groundbreaking research and lifesaving initiatives. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our guests and team members, whose support enables these organizations to make a profound difference.”

Supporting Team Members’ Heart Health

Beyond its fundraising initiatives, Pilot is committed to equipping its employees with the resources to prioritize their heart health. Team members will have access to free CPR training, blood pressure screenings, and other essential heart health resources provided by the American Heart Association.

This generous contribution reflects Pilot’s commitment to supporting both the trucking industry and the families of service members. The funds will grant scholarship opportunities to eligible individuals, helping them start their trucking careers and strengthen the nation’s essential supply chain.

“It’s an honor for Pilot to continue to celebrate and honor the incredible heroes across our country—the truck drivers who safely put millions of miles on our highways to keep us going and our service members, first responders and their families who sacrifice so much for our nation,” said Wendy Hamilton, Chief of Staff at Pilot. “Giving back to the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and the communities we serve, especially through education, is a small way to show our gratitude and support their future. We look forward to seeing more truck drivers out here and are thankful for the work done through Folds of Honor and their scholarship programs.”

Folds of Honor, established in 2007, has so far delivered over 62,000 scholarships across all 50 states, amounting to nearly $290 million in educational aid. This shared mission aligns perfectly with Pilot’s efforts to give back to service members’ families by providing educational opportunities with lasting impact.

“Folds of Honor is grateful for the support of Pilot,” said Lt Col Dan Rooney, CEO and Founder of Folds of Honor. “This contribution will enable us to heighten our impact and further our mission to honor the sacrifice of America’s service members and first responders and educate their legacy. Pilot, its team members, and the individuals it serves are true patriots that understand the importance of education and are doing something about it.”
