UPS celebrates safe driving

Posted by | Oct 2, 2007 | |

UPS today announced the induction of 785 drivers into its elite Circle of Honor, raising the total number of active drivers who have steered clear of accidents for at least 25 years to 4,451.

Of the Circle of Honor members, 137 have been accident-free for 35 or more years, with six of those having driven more than 40 years without an accident. UPS’s most seasoned safe driver in 2007 is tractor-trailer driver Ron Sowder of UPS’s Kentucky District. He has reached 45 years of driving without an accident.

Collectively, active drivers in UPS’s Circle of Honor have logged nearly 5 billion safe miles during their careers. That’s as many miles as 10,000 trips to the moon and back.

All UPS drivers are taught safe driving methods beginning on the first day of classroom training, including the company’s comprehensive safety course, “Space and Visibility.” The training continues throughout their careers.

New UPS tractor-trailer drivers receive 80 hours of computer-based and on-the-road training before operating equipment. Drivers of UPS’s familiar brown package delivery cars complete 20 hours of computer-based and on-the-road training, plus three safety ride evaluations during their first 22 days on the job.

DHL has enhanced its customer loyalty programme in the Middle East, allowing clients to receive award points for every dirham spent on the logistics company’s products and services.

Customers can enrol on the loyalty programme, titled Altitude, for free and redeem their points at a number of outlets, including City Centre in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman. Alternatively, the award points can be donated to non-government organisations such as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Dubai Centre for Special Needs (DCSN) or Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).

“With Altitude all our loyal customers will now be rewarded for every dirham they spend on DHL’s products and services. Previously, customers who registered under the programme were rewarded on parcel shipments only. It will now be across the complete DHL product range,” said Elliott Santon, marketing manager, DHL UAE.

“Our customer loyalty programme was launched in 2003. The rewards options for members now include a wide variety of choices, ranging from jewellery, electronics, office supplies, gift vouchers and, of course, greater discounts on DHL products and services,” he added.
