After the Center Point Safety awards last Friday, newly appointed Alabama District Safety Manager Roy Campbell said in amazement, "I have never seen so many people receive safety awards at one time. "
Indeed, the number of Center Point employees who received commendation for driving safely WAS astounding: 54 Safe Driver pins were handed out, and 45 of them were for driving more than 10 years without an at-fault accident.
"For as many routes as we have - 46 - and for as many of our employees to not have had accidents for as many years as they have accrued is truly amazing,” said Center Point Customer Service Manager Tommy Morrison.
The morning began with City Carrier Morris Wilkinson being presented with the National Safety Council's Driver of the Year for our area. Mr. Wilkinson, who recently reached his 70th year of federal service milestone, has driven 64 years without an at-fault accident in a Postal vehicle.
