UPS Honors Nevada Drivers For 25 Years of Safe Driving
February 20 2017 - 10:00AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that 11 elite drivers from Nevada
are among 1,575 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.
Nevada boasts 47 active Circle of Honor drivers
with a combined 1,327 years of accident-free driving. Stephen Dewey
of Las Vegas is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 40 years
of accident-free driving under his belt. There are 805 full-time
total UPS drivers in Nevada.
Globally, 9,349 active UPS drivers are members of
the Circle of Honor. Collectively they’ve racked up 266,554
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 George
Willis, president, UPS West Region. “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 54 years of driving
without an accident. Ronald McKnight of Bronx, N.Y., is next in
line with 48 years of safe driving. Ninety-one 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
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.
