Covarrubias

I would like to thank all our customers for trusting us with another successful holiday season. Our entire team was prepared to consistently deliver our brand with a focus on safe driving throughout our communities.

As the United States Postal Service enters the fourth year of the Delivering for America 10-year plan, one of the initiatives of the plan is significant investment in training, tools and technology that will enable employees to enjoy a long-term career with us and enhance their safety and wellbeing.

In 2023, the United States Postal Service recognized 171 drivers from around the country with the National Safety Council Million Mile Award. The Million Mile Club is part of the Safe Driver Award program created by the National Safety Council. The Safe Driver Award is the trademark of the expert driver and is recognized as the nation’s highest award for professional safe driving.

David Covarrubias, a Shepherdstown resident who drives out of the Merrifield, Va. USPS Processing and Distribution Center, was among those recognized. Covarrubias earned the Million Miler award in recognition of his stellar safe driving record. The National Safety Council Million Mile Award recognizes drivers with one million miles of driving or 30 accumulated years driven without preventable incidents.

Congratulations on receiving this monumental award, David! On behalf of the entire team at the Merrifield, Va. USPS Processing and Distribution Center, thank you for your continued support as we look forward to Delivering for America – safely – again in 2024.

Mark Wahl, USPS strategic communications specialist
