What’s the story: It’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and there’s plenty to be thankful for at UPS. We have the safest drivers in the industry – just look at Palatine, Illinois, home to the most Circle of Honor drivers of any UPS facility in the world.
Why it matters: Nearly 10,600 Circle of Honor drivers earned their badges by driving more than 25 years without an accident – that’s about 15 billion miles without so much as a fender-bender. The secret to their success is a commitment to world-class training.
In the U.S. alone, we invest more than $260 million a year on safety training at UPS. Our operations employees receive five million hours of safety training per year.
