UPS Honors New York Drivers For 25 Years Of Safe Driving
February 20 2017 - 10:00AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that 63 elite drivers from New York
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.
New York boasts 307 active Circle of Honor drivers with a
combined 8,675 years of accident-free driving. Ronald McKnight of
the Bronx is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 48 years of
accident-free driving under his belt. There are 5,217 total
full-time UPS drivers in New York.
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 Brooks,
president, UPS East 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.
