UPS truck driver retires after 6 million accident-free miles

An Atlanta UPS truck driver is retiring after 43 years on the road without a single crash.

Sixty-six year old truck driver Jimmy Howard recently turned in his truck keys for good after driving for UPS accident-free for over four decades, according to a report from KDVR.

Howard started driving for UPS at the age of 22 in 1975, starting out as a delivery truck driver and then moving up to driving tractor trailers on a daily route from Atlanta to Mississippi — a 525 mile round trip. Over the years, those miles added up to more than 6 million.

Even more remarkable is the fact that Howard has also never been involved in a crash in his personal vehicle.

When he was asked the secret to decades to accident-free driving, Howard said, “A lot of luck, but I think God’s been with me most of the way. And great training from our management staff.”
