Carter Scott has been named the winner of the Postal Service’s Driver of the Year Award. He is a Silver Spring resident, according to Source of the Spring, who works out of the Suburban Processing and Distribution Center in Gaithersburg.
Per USPS: Carter Scott has walked — or rather driven — the talk and then some. “I believe in safety,” he says. The tractor-trailer operator for the Suburban Processing and Distribution Center in Gaithersburg, MD, has had no preventable incidents since he began his career as a USPS driver in 1979.
The announcement of Scott’s win was made at the recent National Postal Forum, where Kelly Abney, who recently retired as chief logistics officer, accepted on his behalf. The driving ace will be officially presented with the award at his workplace.
USPS nominees for the award must have driven 15 years, or 100,000 miles, without a preventable incident. “I drive the postal vehicle just as I drive my personal vehicle,” Scott said. “My intention is to return home each day to my family.”
