Senate Joint Resolution 427, sponsored by Massey, honors the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) for winning the 2024 Southeast Roadeo, marking their tenth championship since the event's inception in 2006. The Southeast Roadeo is a competitive event that showcases the skills of equipment operators from eleven states, who demonstrate their proficiency in operating various heavy machinery, including backhoes and dump trucks. This event not only highlights the operators' technical abilities but also fosters camaraderie and teamwork, which are essential during emergency situations.

The resolution recognizes the outstanding performance of TDOT's team, which secured first and second places in both the skid steer and single axle dump truck categories. The members of the championship team represent different regions of Tennessee, and their victory underscores the dedication and expertise of TDOT employees in maintaining the state's roads and highways. The resolution concludes by extending congratulations and best wishes for continued success to the TDOT team.
