Three local UPS drivers were inducted recently into UPS’s Circle of Honor for achieving 25 years of accident-free driving.
Joseph Schuatz of Loxahatchee, Fitzgerald Foster of Royal Palm Beach and Larry Graves of Wellington, along with 87 other drivers from Florida, are among 1,613 newly inducted into the company’s honorary organization.
Globally, 8,703 active UPS drivers are members of the Circle of Honor. Collectively they’ve racked up more than 245,000 years and more than 5.3 billion safe miles during their careers. That’s enough miles to travel to Mars and back 19 times.
Florida boasts 499 active Circle of Honor drivers with a combined 14,081 years of accident-free driving.
Ginny Odom of Orlando is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 41 years of accident-free driving under her belt. There are 5,385 total UPS drivers in Florida.
“My thanks go to all of them for their dedication and focus, and for the countless lives they’ve saved,” said David Ruiz, president of the UPS Florida District. “Their attention to detail has kept them safe and has helped improve public safety.”
