Twenty-seven others have logged at least 40 years without an accident. Thomas Camp of the Great Lakes District is next in line with 49 years of safe driving. Globally, the most seasoned UPS Circle of Honor driver is Ron Sowder of UPS's Ohio Valley District, with 50 years of driving without an accident.

"I'm very proud of these men and women," said Richard Moore, president, UPS Northeast District.
