10 Mars 2016 - 1:46AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that seven elite drivers from Maine
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.
Maine boasts 42 active Circle of Honor drivers with a combined
1,142 years of accident-free driving. David Bradford of Standish is
the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 36 years of accident-free
driving under his belt. There are 571 total UPS drivers in
Maine.
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 Ivy Brown, president,
UPS Northeast 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.
