14 Mail Carriers Drive 1M Accident-Free Miles Without Ever Leaving The Walnut Creek City Limits

Driving can be a challenging task on its own, let alone driving one million miles without so much as a fender-bender.

Fourteen Walnut Creek Post Office mail carriers did just that, and they will be honored at 7:45 a.m. Thursday, Jan.30 at the North Broadway Post Office.

Maria Ruvalcaba, Mark Long, Terrence Madden, Paul Skinner, Joseph Roldan, Dwayne Hunt, Sharon Reemes, Kimberly Quiroz, Cindy Crouse, Nancy Glenn, Kevin Ervin, Teresa Skinner, Anna Robards and Chester Wong will all be inducted into the National Safety Council “Million Mile Club.”

These mail carriers have each driven the equivalent of circling the earth 40 times, all without a moving violation or accident, while maneuvering hazardous road conditions, gridlock, rural terrain, and avoiding careless drivers along the way.

“Our postal drivers keep safety directly in front of them,” said Bay-Valley District Manager Darrel Stoke. “The truly remarkable achievement by our mail carriers demonstrates how postal employees continue to deliver on the promise of delivering their best every day with care, courtesy and concern for the safety of others.”

Nationally, postal drivers log more than 1.5 billion miles annually while delivering to more than 159 million homes and businesses in every city, suburb and town in America as they make the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

Each driver will be presented with a plaque from the Safety Council and automatic membership in the prestigious National Safety Council “Million Mile Club.” The million-mile award is a lifetime enrollment, and it is given to drivers who have accumulated one-million miles or 30 years of driving without being involved in a single preventable motor vehicle accident.

Joe Roldan was my mail carrier when I lived in Walnut Creek. Great guy!

A million miles with no accidents is amazing Congratulations

Congratulations.
What an awesome accomplishment!

Nice

Wonderful!! Great job and congratulations on being honored!

Obviously they did not take the Teddy Kennedy driver ‘refresher’ course!

Congratulations! It’s no small feat in this day and age.

Congratulations! Especially in WC.

That’s terrific, but getting my mail delivered before 5 PM would be equally impressive. The USPS, employing the unemployable since 1970.

Congratulations Nancy. You’re the best.

Yet their vehicles are all dinged up, scraped and damaged.

Just because the mail carrier doesnt notify the owner of the property they hit doesnt mean it didnt happen.
