You get a leather jacket, a bunch of trinkets, your picture on the wall in the break room and a parking spot (with your name on it) right outside the gate.
During peak some seasonals have been parking in the Circle of Honor spots. Everyone saw this as a complete lack of respect, so management allowed the Circle of Honor drivers have any unauthorized vehicles towed from their spot. It only took one guy getting towed for them to stay out of their spots.

If you look really closely you should see the asterisk by my last name on the banner.

WOW that was a long time ago?? Lets see?
They did put us up in a hotel for the night and took us on a harbor cruise dinner. Then all of us drivers and spouses met in the bar and finished up the nite. In my time with UPS that was by far the nicest party and tribute to drivers I had ever experienced. They handed me a C-21 looking salesman jacket size Medium or Large I believe. I gave it to another driver who it fit that night. Never saw another one nor did I care. Also got a glass plaque.
Unlike some, I am not bitter over how my career went at UPS! Sure there were knuckle headed people that had virtually "NO PEOPLE SKILLS" as my boss at times. But as we all knew they would disappear over time. I had some "VERY COOL" Sups, Managers and Customer's along my time there! Many still friends today! Those that wanted to butt heads? I would just "WORK AS DIRECTED" sure, had to do more time and made more money but "WAD" is the most effective tool ever taught to me by management!!! Plus I am not the type to take work stuff personal, I would just adjust to the circumstances.

Congrats!
With all due respect (which means I can now say whatever I want), where in the world would you wear something like that?
Good thing crosswalk accidents don't count...

We have a guy at our facility who has over 50 years of safe driving. They do not even make a patch for that. Still delivering daily. Last year UPS flew him and the driver supervisor out to Seattle to meet descendants of one of the founders.

They should have flown him out to the Bunny Ranch in Nevada and gave him a real recognition award

Being a Circle of Honor driver should be a real honor and I did not even come close.
In our hub it's call "safe lying" since most of the drivers who became Circle of Honor did not report accidents. A well known fact in our feeder dept. and so is a farce.
really sad since some of those guys and gals really earned it.

You could wear it anywhere. Why couldn't you? It's just like wearing a piece of clothing with your favorite team on it or college.
Just because you were ashamed of working at UPS and being a Teamster doesn't mean everyone is.
