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. The competition not only highlights individual skills but also fosters teamwork and camaraderie among operators, which is crucial 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 reflects the dedication and expertise of TDOT employees. The resolution concludes by congratulating the team and expressing appreciation for their commitment to maintaining and improving Tennessee's roads and highways.
