UPS Honors California Drivers for 25 Years of Safe Driving
28 February 2018 - 2:00AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that 174 elite drivers from
California 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.
California boasts 988 Circle of Honor drivers with a combined
24,258 years of accident-free driving. Len Edelmann of Anderson is
the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 42 years of accident-free
driving under his belt. There are 11,420 total full-time UPS
drivers in California.
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 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 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.
