Ashburn carriers reach safe million mile mark


The employees of the Ashburn Post Office gathered  recently  to watch Ray Pritchard and Mary Ann Nolan receive the million mile award from Postmaster Wendy Spears.

Ray started with the Postal Service in December 1979. Mary Ann started in October 1980. They have both been rural carriers at the Ashburn Post Office their entire careers.

The Million Mile Club is the National Safety Council’s highest safety honor among professional drivers and recognizes drivers who have driven more than one million miles or more than 30 years without a preventable accident.

The United States Postal Service and the National Safety Council have teamed up to promote and ensure the safety and health of the USPS workforce nationwide.

As a long-standing member of the National Safety Council, the United States Postal Service has established an agreement with the Council that entitles all facilities to take advantage of member benefits in an effort to prevent unintentional injury and illness.

Eligible postal employee participants of the Safe Driver Award Program include those who have a normal daily assignment that involves the driving of a motor vehicle for official business use, and who have not had their driving privilege revoked or suspended.
