Evans Delivery Company Driver Awarded Harley Davidson for Safety Record
Schuylkill Haven, PA (April 27, 2009)— The Evans Network of Companies presented Obed “Byron” Oglesby, driver for Evans Delivery Company, with a Harley Davidson motorcycle for his safe driving record.
“Safety is my top priority every day, along with securing my cargo,” said Mr. Oglesby. “I have driven more than three million miles in my career, so receiving this prize after all these years for just doing my job is such a great reward.”
Every year, Evans Network randomly selects a winner for the grand prize Harley Davidson motorcycle. Eligible drivers are those with no accidents or incidents in a calendar year. In addition to the Harley Davidson, three TVs and six GPS navigation systems were awarded to runners-up.
“Evans Network’s safety incentive program started in 2005 to reward drivers who continuously operate safely and to ensure dependable service for all Evans Network customers,” said Kim Lorimer, Director of Safety for Evans Network.
Oglesby has been driving for Evans Delivery Company from the Camp Hill service center for the past four years. This location offers ocean and rail container drayage, van truckload and regional truckload services serving the ports of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York. Evans Delivery Company is one of the five companies that make up Evans Network, a market-leading trucking and logistics partner.
“We’re proud of Byron’s commitment to always putting safety first. He is truly a pro at what he does,” said Keith Walborn, Camp Hill agent partner for Evans Network. “Byron is probably the most honest and smartest person I know,” he continued. Mr. Oglesby graduated with honors from the University of Baltimore. He resides in Stewartstown, PA with his wife, Betty.
The motorcycle was presented at Schaeffer’s Harley Davidson of Orwigsburg, PA. This dealership has presented three of the four Harleys awarded to Evans Network drivers.
In addition to the grand prize, the company also randomly selects eligible drivers with various prizes every month. Eligible drivers are those who follow all government rules and regulations, like completing daily logs and inspections, and maintaining zero incidents, according to Lorimer.
