UPS Honors Louisiana Drivers for 25 Years of Safe Driving
27 Février 2018 - 4:00PM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that 15 elite drivers from Louisiana
are among 1,582 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.
Louisiana boasts 114 Circle of Honor drivers with a combined
2,681 years of accident-free driving. William Sanders of Bossier
City is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 40 years of
accident-free driving under his belt. There are 1,073 total
full-time UPS drivers in Louisiana.
Globally, 10,504 active UPS drivers are members of the Circle of
Honor. Collectively they’ve racked up 257,221 years and
nearly 14 billion safe miles during their careers. That’s enough
miles to travel to the moon and back almost 29,000 times.
“My thanks go to all of them for their dedication and focus and
for the countless lives they’ve saved,” said Charlene Thomas,
president, UPS Mid-South 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 55 years of driving without an
accident. Ronald McKnight of Bronx, N.Y., is next in line with 49
years of safe driving. One hundred twenty six others have logged at
least 40 years without an accident.
UPS’s 127,000 small package drivers are among the safest on the
roads, logging more than 3 billion miles a year and delivering
nearly 5 billion packages annually.
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.
