Published: 2020-02-26 15:00:00 ET

DETROIT, Feb. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that 41 elite drivers from Michigan are among 1,316 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.

Michigan boasts 296 Circle of Honor drivers with a combined 7,697 years of accident-free driving. Thomas Camp of Livonia is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 57 years of accident-free driving under his belt. There are 3,127 total full-time UPS drivers in Michigan.

“Our drivers are the best in their field,” said Carie Monroe, president, UPS Great Lakes District. “They’ve trained and constantly continue to hone their skills. As a result, these drivers have come to the ultimate achievement and the highest level of accomplishment that can be reached - Circle of Honor. I’m so proud of these drivers and the families that support them.”

Globally, the most seasoned UPS Circle of Honor driver is Thomas Camp of Livonia, Mich., with 57 years of driving without an accident. Ronald McKnight of Bronx, N.Y., is next in line with 51 years of safe driving. One hundred fifty-nine others have logged at least 40 years without an accident.

The company’s 129,000 small-package drivers worldwide are among the safest on the roads, logging close to 3.5 billion miles per year and delivering 5.5 billion packages annually.

Collectively, these drivers have achieved more than 280,969 years of safe driving throughout their careers. That’s enough time behind the wheel to drive non-stop from Miami to San Diego – over 65 million times. And they’ve done it while delivering 3 percent of the world’s GDP – 20 million packages a day.

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.
