UPS Honors Montana Drivers for 25 Years of Safe Driving
27 Février 2018 - 4:00PM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that ten elite drivers from Montana
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.
Montana boasts 34 Circle of Honor drivers with a combined 730
years of accident-free driving. Harvey Harris of Cut Bank is the
state’s senior-most safe driver, with 36 years of accident-free
driving under his belt. There are 539 total full-time UPS drivers
in Montana.
Globally, 10,504 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 Joe Braham, president,
UPS Northwest 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.
