What:

Pittsburgh Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) employees Randy Kowach and John Chuly have been inducted into the prestigious National Safety Council “Million Mile Club” for thirty years of accident-free driving on the job. Both Pittsburgh postal employees have driven 30 years without a preventable motor vehicle accident qualifying them for the distinguished driver award.

Kowach and Chuly will receive a special Million Mile Club plaque from Pittsburgh VMF Manager Nellie Snyder in a brief ceremony among their coworkers. To be qualified, for Million Mile Club status, a professional driver must have driven accident-free for either 30 years or a million miles.
