HARBOR CITY, CA — Ronald Mones, John Neal III, Lateceshia Rhymes and Raymond Yee can finally say they’re worth a million – in miles, that is.

On Friday, August 13, Mones, Neal, Rhymes and Yee will become members of the National Safety Council’s Million Mile Club: an honor reserved for employees driving one million miles or 30 years without an at-fault accident.

Now imagine the equivalent of driving 334 times across the country or 40 times around the globe without ever leaving the city limits, and imagine doing it safely, under hazardous road conditions, gridlock, rural terrain, and with a vigilant eye on inattentive drivers.

As a result of their achievement, they will be honored on Friday, August 13, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. at the Harbor City Post Office, 25690 Frampton Ave., Harbor City, CA 90710.

“Driving more than a million miles without a preventable accident is such an amazing feat,” said Neil De Louis, Postmaster Harbor City Post Office.  “I’m extremely proud of these employees for putting safety and service first.  The Harbor City community and surrounding townships that we serve benefit daily from the excellent performance of these employees.”

Mones, Neal, Rhymes and Yee will be presented with a plaque from the Safety Council and automatic membership in the prestigious National Safety Council “Million Mile Club.” The million-mile award is a lifetime enrollment, and it is given to drivers who have accumulated one million miles or 30 years of driving without being involved in a preventable motor vehicle accident.  According to the National Safety Council, it takes approximately 30 years to accumulate one million miles.

The United States Postal Service has one of the largest vehicle fleets in the world.  Our drivers face hazardous road conditions, congestion, gridlock, city and rural terrain and careless drivers daily.
