UPS Honors Delaware Drivers for 25 Years of Safe Driving
10 Mars 2016 - 1:46AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that six elite drivers from
Delaware are among 1,613 newly inducted worldwide into the Circle
of Honor, an honorary organization for UPS drivers who have
achieved 25 or more years of accident-free driving.
Delaware boasts 35 active Circle of Honor drivers with a
combined 952 years of accident-free driving. James Southard of
Wilmington is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 34 years of
accident-free driving under his belt. There are 374 total UPS
drivers in Delaware.
Globally, 8,703 active UPS drivers are members of the Circle of
Honor. Collectively they’ve racked up more than 245,000 years
and more than 5.3 billion safe miles during their careers. That’s
enough miles to travel to Mars and back 19 times.
“My thanks go to all of them for their dedication and focus and
for the countless lives they’ve saved,” said Jill Schubert,
president, UPS Chesapeake District. “Their attention to
detail has kept them safe and has helped improve public
safety.”
Globally, the most seasoned UPS Circle of Honor driver is Thomas
Camp of Livonia, Mich., with 53 years of driving without an
accident. Ronald McKnight of Bronx, N.Y., is next in line with 47
years of safe driving. Sixty-six others have logged at least
40 years without an accident.
UPS’s 102,000 drivers are among the safest on the roads, logging
more than 3 billion miles a year and delivering more than 4 billion
packages safely.
Founded in 1907, UPS has a rich history of safety and training.
The company issued its first driver handbook in 1917 and began
recognizing safe drivers in 1923. In 1928, UPS recognized its
first five-year safe driver, Ray McCue, with UPS founder Jim Casey
presenting him a gold and platinum watch. UPS formally established
its safe driving honor program in 1928.
