Each year, during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we recognize the safe drivers who have achieved their million-mile safe drivers milestone. These drivers represent some of the finest in the industry, having driven so far and so long without a preventable accident. To put that into perspective – each of these nine drivers has driven far enough to get to the moon and back twice, with enough miles still leftover to circle the earth nearly two times. In fact, two of these safe drivers have achieved that milestone TWICE. Average commercial safe drivers achieve this milestone in approximately 10 years. By contrast, the average non-commercial driver puts in almost 13,500 miles per year according to the US Department of Transportation – reaching one million miles in 74 years. And when you consider that every non-commercial driver will experience 3-4 accidents in their lifetime, to achieve 1 million safe miles is truly an amazing accomplishment. Without further adieu, congratulations!
Jay Cline
Jay joined the company with our Denver Regional division in February 2010 when it was still a relatively small division. He quickly became a valuable asset to the Denver division and was a driver they knew they could always depend on to get the job done, even in the harshest of weather conditions. After gaining experience as a company driver, he purchased a truck from System in May 2013 and became an owner operator. As an owner operator, he began to venture outside of the Denver regional area and started running over the road. He enjoyed running over the road and eventually switched over to the OTR division and purchased his own trailer. Recently Jay has moved to Montana and has rejoined the Denver regional division to focus on getting home a little more often.
Darran Holmes
Darran has been with System transport since 2009. He was a great Company driver and Trainer for several years until he decided to become an owner. Darran is dependable, knowledgeable and safe in every load he is involved with. I often use him as a source of information and he’s always willing to help other drivers with questions. I look forward to working with Darran for many years to come.

This million mile mark reflects his commitment to safety and professionalism on the Maxi fleet and tells a solid story of his work ethic.

TWO MILLION MILE SAFE DRIVERS
Mike English
Mike started working at System Transport September 25, 2002. He began working in the French Camp division and worked there for about 9 months. He then switched to the line haul fleet going everywhere. When the blade and towers fleet started he then drove for that division. He thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of hauling the oversize loads. When we stopped hauling blades and towers he then went back to the long haul division where he has worked since. Mike is an excellent worker and is
always willing to help someone out.
