This resolution honors the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) for winning the 2024 Southeast Roadeo, a competitive event where equipment operators from eleven states demonstrate their skills by operating various types of heavy machinery such as backhoes, dump trucks, skid steers, and motor graders. The resolution highlights that TDOT won its tenth championship since 2006, securing first and second place in the skid steer and single axle dump truck categories. The Roadeo is described as more than just a competition, serving as an opportunity for operators to improve their techniques, build relationships, and prepare for emergency and disaster-related situations. The resolution specifically recognizes the TDOT team members from four different regions who participated in the competition, including Benjamin Bolden, Josh Human, David Bragg, Dewayne Everett, Ricky Moss, Ronnie Spivey, Evan Mitchell, Joel Bates, Mike Puckett, John Young, Richard Sullins, Clint Bowman, Hunter Butler, and Logan Garner. The resolution concludes by congratulating the TDOT team, praising their commitment to maintaining Tennessee's roads and highways, and extending best wishes for their future success.
