OKLAHOMA CITY – UPS has announced that 11 elite drivers from Oklahoma 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.
Oklahoma boasts 144 Circle of Honor drivers with a combined 3,618 years of accident-free driving. Charles Byrd of Enid is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 41 years of accident-free driving under his belt. There are 1,010 total full-time UPS drivers in Oklahoma.
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 Craig Wiltz, president, UPS Red River District. “Their attention to detail has kept them safe and has helped improve public safety.”
Among those inducted this year into the Circle of Honor is Leland McDowell of Carmen who works out of the Oklahoma City location.
