Sitton Motor Lines Honors Drivers With Concert Event
Sitton Motor Lines honored drivers recently with a free Driver Appreciation

Concert held at their Joplin, Mo. headquarters. The all-day event, held on August 22, was
hosted by comedian Tracy Russel, a performer with Branson’s Ozark Jamboree and the
wife of Sitton driver Charlie Russel. Headlining the concert was well-known recording
artist and driver motivator Joey Holiday.

“We wanted to do something to show the drivers just how much we appreciate
and respect them,” said Dick Sitton, President of Sitton Motor Lines. “Not just our
drivers, but all drivers. This was a great opportunity for them to get off the road for a
little while and have some fun.”

Close to 100 drivers and their families attended the event, where they enjoyed free
food and live entertainment. The crowd included not only Sitton drivers and employees,
but also other drivers who came to the event from nearby truck stops or stopped by after
hearing about the concert on their CB radios.

To kick off the concert, Holiday entertained the crowd with a five-hour set of
country music. Coming from a family of truck drivers, Holiday combines his love of
music with his respect for trucking, resulting in unique entertainment geared specifically
to truck drivers. Following Holiday’s set, the crowd was treated to performances by
artists Chantri, Blindman’s Peace, Duke Mason and Rich McCready.

“The drivers really enjoyed the concert, so we consider it a great success,” said
Bill Housley, Sitton’s Director of Recruiting and Driver Personnel. “We’re already
planning for an even bigger event next year!”
