10 Mars 2016 - 1:46AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that one elite driver from South
Dakota is 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.
South Dakota boasts 30 active Circle of Honor drivers with a
combined 879 years of accident-free driving. Dale Snyder of
Hartford is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 41 years of
accident-free driving under his belt. There are 322 total UPS
drivers in South Dakota.
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.
