CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — During a ceremony at the U.S. Postal Service’s National Logistics Symposium held from Oct. 24-26 in Kansas City, 171 drivers from around the country were recognized with a National Safety Council (NSC) Million Mile Award. Ricardo Rosales, who drives out of the Corpus Christi P&DC facility, right here in Corpus Christi was among those recognized.

Rosales, a tractor trailer driver, earned the National Safety Council (NSC) award in recognition of his stellar safe driving record. The NSC Million Mile Award recognizes drivers with 1 million miles of driving or 30 accumulated years driven without preventable incidents.

In addition to the Awards ceremony, the Logistics Symposium provided information on the latest driver technology, safe driving strategies, and driver training sessions for USPS tractor trailer operators.

Upon receiving the prestigious award, Rosales said, "Having been recognized on a national level is quite an honor, not only for me but also for my fellow motor vehicle operators (MVO) here at USPS.”

“Mr. Rosales is the ultimate professional. Richard shows up every single day and does his job safely and with humility; he also takes pride in being the senior man and taking the younger generation under his wing to show them the way." Corpus Christi, TX, Manager, Logistics Darrell Colon.

The Million Mile Club is part of the Safe Driver Award program created by the National Safety Council. The Safe Driver Award is the trademark of the expert driver and is recognized as the nation’s highest award for professional safe driving.
