Con-way Freight drivers achieve two million accident-free miles

Nov 13, 2008

Con-way Freight announced that two driver sales representatives recently achieved two million safe miles.

Michael Umphrey of Hartselle, Ala., achieved two million safe miles on Sept. 17. The company recognized his achievement on Nov. 11 during a ceremony at its service center in Decatur, Ala., where Umphrey is based. John G. Labrie, president of the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based less-than-truckload carrier, was in attendance and presented Umphrey with an award commemorating his achievement.

Umphrey, who has been a professional truck driver for 20 years, was named the 2004 Alabama Driver of the Year by the American Trucking Associations and was a member of the Alabama Road Team from 2001-2003. He also is a six-time Alabama state truck driving champion.

Bill Henderson, a resident of Savannah, Ga., drove his two million safe miles between 1989 and 2008. The company will recognize his achievement in a ceremony planned for Dec. 19 at its Savannah service center, where Henderson is based.

Henderson began his professional truck driving career with Con-way, and he has been driving for more than 19 years.
