What: |
North Versailles Post Office Letter Carriers Chris Hoke and Richard White have been inducted into the prestigious National Safety Council “Million Mile Club” for thirty years of accident-free driving on the job. Hoke has driven 44 years serving East McKeesport and White has driven 30 years serving North Versailles, respectively, without a preventable motor vehicle accident qualifying them for the distinguished driver award. Hoke and White will receive a special Million Mile Club plaque from Western Pennsylvania District Manager Jay Phelan and North Versailles Postmaster Jeff Hauser 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. "This is an outstanding pair of postal employees in every aspect considering this very demanding position,” said Hauser. “The Postal Service has always emphasized safe driving practices. Mr. Hoke and Mr. White are very conscientious and their leadership and accomplishments are a great example for every member of our workforce." |
