In 1917, UPS bicycle messengers and drivers of the company's Ford Model T package delivery vehicles were given their first defensive driving handbook. As the company grew, UPS's safe driving honor roll grew. The first five-year safe driving award was presented in 1928 to Ray McCue by the company's founder, Jim Casey. Inscribed in the gold and platinum watch presented to McCue was, "In appreciation of five years of continuous service without an automobile accident."
