About Bill Haslam
Former Tennessee governor Bill Haslam was the president of his family's chain of truck stops, Pilot Flying J, for four years until 1999.
His father bought a gas station in Virginia in 1958 and founded Pilot Flying J, which now operates in more than 800 locations in North America.
Berkshire Hathaway acquired 100% of Pilot in 2024, paying a total of $13.6 billion for it across three purchases - 39% in 2017, 41% in January 2023, and the final 20% in January 2024.
Haslam was elected the mayor of Knoxville in 2003 and became governor of Tennessee in 2010. He left office in 2019.
He purchased a piece of the Nashville Predators in 2022, with plans to gradually acquire a majority stake.
