UPS Honors Nebraska Drivers for 25 Years of Safe Driving
10 Mars 2016 - 1:46AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that eight elite drivers from
Nebraska 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.
Nebraska boasts 69 active Circle of Honor drivers
with a combined 2,013 years of accident-free driving. Larry Lakeman
of Elkhorn and Samuel Perales of Bellevue are the state’s
senior-most safe drivers, with 39 years each of accident-free
driving under their belts. There are 676 total UPS drivers in
Nebraska.
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 Trayce
Parker, president, UPS Northern Plains 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.
