At PAM Transport, truck driving safety is essential to our culture, and it’s one of the many reasons Clyde Hill came out of retirement to join PAM in 2015 as a Driver Mentor. In addition to the Safety Bonus Program, he’s a big fan of our Safe Driver Ring program. After just one year of accident/incident-free driving, PAM drivers receive a stainless steel ring. 

One small diamond is added for each year of accident/incident-free driving for the next eight years. At 10 years of accident/incident-free driving, one large center diamond is added. As drivers continue to rack up more years of safe road miles, the rewards become even more impressive, including a gold Seiko watch and a gold ring.

“That ring is a nice recognition for doing what you try to do on a daily basis,” Clyde says, “Which is to try and make sure that you are able to get to and from each destination safely.”

Justin Maples Earns Coveted Gold Watch Award for Truck Driving Safety

The PAM Seiko gold watch is awarded to truck drivers with 11 years of accident/incident-free driving. PAM is proud to announce that PAM driver Justin Maples just won the gold Seiko!

If you were to ask Justin about his truck driving record, he would likely respond with “It’s just another day at the office,” as he considers safety part of the job. But 11 years without an accident or incident is worth celebrating, as well as his leadership as a PAM Driver Mentor.

Justin has mentored several students who are now safely driving solo, thanks to his knowledge and guidance. His fellow students say he is “always talking” about safety and that his safety-first mindset is contagious. We consider Justin to be a bit of a marvel, but he takes all of the attention in stride, according to his Driver Manager, Coty Easter.

“Justin is one of our most-tenured and appreciated drivers,” Coty says. “He enjoys ‘driving nails’ and designing schematics for his cabinet building endeavors during his downtime.”
