OVERLAND PARK, Kan., March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) – After nearly five decades of professionally driving for YRC Freight, Robert Herber has logged his 5,000,000th consecutive mile without a single preventable accident.<\/p>\n

Herber has been involved with the freight industry for most of his life, as he first began unloading cars at a cattle feed mill where he grew up in Burkes County, Penn. During Herber\u2019s 45-year career with YRC Freight, he has worked out of seven different terminals across the country, and he currently drives a route from Jackson, Miss. to Jacksonville, Fla.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout his career, Robert has demonstrated great dedication to the highest levels of professionalism and safety,\u201d said CEO Darren Hawkins. \u201cWe thank Robert for continuing to be an outstanding example for Yellow and congratulate him on reaching this extraordinary milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herber credits his remarkable safety record to consistency and maintaining habitual checklists. Rooted in the Smith System, a set of industry-accepted safety practices, Herber has developed his own set of requirements to meet while he drives his route.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has his or her own system that works best \u2013 the important thing is to stay consistent and make sure you are following a pattern,\u201d said Herber. \u201cI\u2019m not comfortable until I\u2019ve followed all<\/em> steps of my own system; if I don\u2019t complete steps fully the first time, I\u2019ll pull over and double check everything. The rest is by the grace of God \u2013 I never thought I would be driving for this long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRobert\u2019s unwavering record represents Yellow\u2019s safety focus with excellence,\u201d said Tamara Jalving, Vice President, Safety. \u201cDrivers like Robert are what allow us to continue delivering award-winning service to our customers while keeping highways safe. We are proud to recognize his incredible achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to being recognized for each million-mile safe driving milestone, Herber has also participated in Maryland\u2019s State Truck Driving Championship, even proceeding to the national championships.<\/p>\n

When he is not driving, Herber and his wife have enjoyed attending street rod shows everywhere from Atlanta to Fort Worth. They also spend their time volunteering in their hometown of Meridian, Miss. \u2013 in 2018, Herber was selected Man of the Year by the Center Hill Community Development Club for his service to the community.<\/p>\n
