5 local UPS drivers earn global safety honors

circle-of-honor-logo_fullcolor1Five UPS drivers from the Mid-South were recently inducted into UPS’s prestigious Circle of Honor for achieving 25 years of accident-free driving.

The honorees include:

  • Gregory Pyron of Bartlett
  • Juan Hicks and Anthony Wooten of Collierville
  • Alvester Epps Sr. and Christopher Igberaese of Memphis

They, along with 56 elite drivers from elsewhere in Tennessee, are among 1,445 newly inducted into the company’s honorary organization.

Globally, 7,878 active UPS drivers are members of the Circle of Honor.  Collectively they’ve racked up more than 221,000 years and more than 5.3 billion safe miles during their careers. That’s enough miles to travel to Mars and back 36 times.
