While more than 6,560 Schneider drivers have logged at least one million safe miles with the company, Swift joins only two other drivers in Schneider’s nearly 90-year history to achieve this incredible feat. Today, Swift will complete the ceremonial five-millionth mile at Schneider’s headquarters in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company, a leading multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, is recognizing Swift’s achievement with a parade, a Sound the Horn celebration — a longstanding tradition of sounding a truck horn in the company’s headquarters building to celebrate accomplishments — and a $10,000 bonus for his safe and reliable driving (that’s in addition to the years of additional performance pay Swift has earned for his stellar driving record).

To put five million miles into perspective, Swift has driven the equivalent of to the moon and back ten times without ever having a preventable accident. Reflecting on his achievement, Swift said, “Reaching five million miles seemed unthinkable. It’s an immense honor to be recognized and be part of a company that equips us to succeed. Safety is key to our long-term success.”

Swift, who began his career with Schneider 33 years ago after leaving his job as a teacher, has become a shining example of the company’s core value: Safety First and Always. He currently drives a special route for longtime Schneider customer Georgia-Pacific and appreciates the reliability and time at home his role affords him.

“We are in the service business, and professional drivers like Greg are the foundation of our success,” said Mark Rourke, Schneider President and CEO. “Drivers who dedicate their careers to safety, who put their customers first and for whom excellence is non-negotiable leave a legacy for others to follow. Greg is one of those drivers, and I am grateful that he has been an integral part of our team for so long.”

Swift’s journey from paper maps to advanced GPS and collision mitigation systems highlights the evolution of the industry. Yet one constant is Schneider’s commitment to delivering the best equipment, technology and processes to ensure driver safety.
