[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 663466, member: 22610"] One of the other safe driving award programs that was ended with the budget cutting was the Circle of Honor dinners that were held annually for drivers who had 25 or more years of safe driving. The dinner was a fancy shindig, in a nice hotel banquet room, lots of food and drinks. They would put you up at the hotel for the night, and one year there were free tickets to the football game. The parts of the dinner that I liked best was the opportunity for my wife to meet other drivers whom I had worked with for many years, and also, my wife got to get inside a package car, a new 1000 (maybe they don't call em that anymore) that they had parked in the hotel parking lot. She was surprised at the spartan accessories in the cab, and commented that she would roll off the seat. The company spent a lot of money on the Circle of Honor banquet, so I guess it's ok that they axed it. Of course, in the room where we had our banquet, the drivers represented over 2,000 years of safe driving in UPS trucks, so I guess those drivers saved the company a lot of money in wrecked equipment. But, I can understand, times are tough all over. One thing that was initiated about the time the Circle of Honor banquet was abolished was adding a patch to the shoulder of the uniform of drivers with 25,30,and 35 years of safe driving. Although some drivers kidded us about wearing them, most of the drivers show a lot of respect for it. I've also noticed that visiting managers and supervisors comment on the patch and show a lot of respect for it. I think it was a good thing. I like that recognition more than the banquet. And, it dresses up the drab brown some. :) [ATTACH=full]11817[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
