Boyd Transportation recently honored one of its drivers for reaching 3 million consecutive safe driving miles with the company.

Johnnie Cobb, 55, was honored at a celebration held by the company May 8 at its Clayton, Ala. facility.

Cobb was presented with a special 3 million mile custom jacket, a trophy and a plaque. He also received a check for $6,000.

“Boyd is the only company I’ve ever driven for and I’ve been doing it a long time – 28 years,” Cobb said. “I plan to continue driving with them until I retire – so I should see 4 million miles in about eight years or so. Not too many drivers have hit that mark.”
