Background:

Every day, millions of Americans put their lives on the line — including USPS carriers and truck drivers — by getting behind the wheel in order to make their living.

Nashville Postmaster Theresa Hartenstein will honor eight Nashville letter carriers who are being inducted into the prestigious Million Mile Club for reaching a career milestone – driving 1 million miles or driving 30 years without an at-fault accident.

“Driving more than a million miles without a preventable accident is an amazing feat,” said Hartenstein. “The city of Nashville benefits daily from the excellent safety performance of these employees. Their commitment to safety shows excellent customer service, hard work and dedication to the Postal Service.”

Driving for the Postal Service is a privilege that requires all drivers to demonstrate safe driving practices throughout their careers. Behind-the-wheel job candidates undergo a rigorous screening, training and testing process to earn credentials to operate postal vehicles.
