Publix truck drivers make a difference daily with their hard work and commitment to safely deliver products on time to our stores. And every year, we recognize an elite few with different awards for safely going the distance.
5-year safe driver awards
We recognize associates for each 5-year increment of driving safely with 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, 30- and 35-year safe driving awards. Associates receiving safety awards for the 5-year increments must drive safely for 5 consecutive years.
Million mile awards
Did you know it takes an average of 12 years for Publix drivers to drive 1 million miles? When a driver safely reaches this milestone, they are awarded a certificate of accomplishment and a jacket with the million mile safe driving logo at an annual recognition banquet. Our 3 million mile safe driver recipients also receive a vacation trip paid by Publix. Due to COVID-19, this year’s award dinner was postponed; however, we would like to congratulate all 29 drivers for achieving 1, 2 and 3 million miles of safe driving.
