Aaron Charron of Merrimack is one of 18 elite UPS drivers from New Hampshire who are among 1,613 newly inducted worldwide into the Circle of Honor, an honorary organization for UPS drivers who have achieved 25 or more years of accident-free driving.
New Hampshire boasts 60 active Circle of Honor drivers with a combined 1,623 years of accident-free driving, according to a UPS news release. Mark Thiboutot of Nashua is the state’s senior-most safe driver, with 36 years of accident-free driving under his belt. There are 570 total UPS drivers in New Hampshire.
Globally, 8,703 active UPS drivers are members of the Circle of Honor. Collectively they’ve racked up more than 245,000 years and more than 5.3 billion safe miles during their careers.
