Con-way Freight Driver Achieves Two Million Accident-Free Miles

ANN ARBOR, Mich., and LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Every industry has certain unique career milestones which set apart an individual as especially skilled and accomplished in their profession. For a professional truck driver, two million miles of safe driving without an accident is the ultimate measure of excellence. It is an elite club that now counts Goshen, Ky., resident Ronnie Long as a member.

Long is a driver sales representative for Con-way Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carrier and the largest subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW). He safely drove the two million miles between 1987 and 2009, and reached the two-million-mile mark on Feb. 10. The company plans to recognize his achievement in a ceremony to be held at its Louisville, Ky., service center, where Long is based. He was previously honored for reaching one million miles.

“Ronnie Long’s impressive accomplishment highlights the personal and professional commitment to safety of those of our employees who go behind the wheel of a truck every day, and who make it their business to demonstrate superior safety performance on the highways, in our service centers and at our customers’ facilities,” said John G. Labrie, president, Con-way Freight. “Safety is one of our core values, and we congratulate Ronnie for his extraordinary achievement.”

Long has been a professional truck driver for 29 years, and has worked for Con-way Freight for 22 years. His route takes him from Louisville to Knoxville, Tenn. Long has been married for 26 years to his wife, Karen, and has two children: Ashley and Aaron. His hobbies include running.
Over the company’s 25-year history, more than 1,280 Con-way Freight driver sales representatives have reached the one-million-mile safe driving milestone, while more than 90 have driven two million miles accident-free.
