Circle of honor is not coveted. 45 years?!? That man needs to retire and have an actual life.
We had a driver with over 30 years safe driving. Never an accident no time lost injuries. They jumped his

Then again maybe this is how he enjoys life :/
Yes It is. He drove in a high traffic area,with lots of pedestrian traffic.
He is now retired and doing well.

hope he enjoys those 10 QUALITY-depends using last years
I think it is a great story. He looks in great shape and looks like he loves his job. And if they give him crap, hes got a lawsuit with age discrimination all over it. But I bet hes the type that says "youngster, mind your manners, you to will be older some day" and they walk away. Good for him!
Its not that bad, problem is you are used to doing one, then the other. Takes half a day, to not grab for the lap belt, or the shifter, and readjust to grabbing for the harness and the automatic. He probably drives an ole pos, and they gave him a new one for this ad.
This poor old guy wouldnt last 5 minutes in our center. They would bury him in stops and expect him to do it in 8 hours.
He would most likely be terminated for production long before he won any awards in my building.

Sadly, mine too. But I thought you could not be terminated for production?

good people drink good beer
They would find some trumped up reason. More likely they would make his route so crappy he would say the heck with it and retire.

nowhere special
My center had an old package driver with close to 40 years that had a super easy route but still only went out with about 6 hour planned day (by UPS numbers) because he was always at least 3 hours over allow and would never get any more work delivered without help. He wasn't lazy but slow as molasses. He lost time at every stop from stopping to chat with customers or just moving very slow. When anyone else ran his route they were easily 2 or 3 hours under. Rookies could go out blind and still run an hour under. The old driver knew how to game the system and UPS gave up harassing him and just sent him out super light every day. His route will certainly change when he retires though since it changes when anyone else runs his route.
