The Minnesota Trucking Association recently named  Milt Lowe the “Minnesota Truck Driver of the Year”  at their annual safety conference. As reported by the Minneapolis Tribune the reason was:

Lowe, 72, is a 45-year veteran who drives for Citi-Cargo & Storage in Eagan. Since 1969 he’s driven 3.5 million miles “without a single moving violation and without any accidents or freight claims,” said Kathy Berglof, director of safety for Citi-Cargo.

When asked what advice he had for others drivers he said:

Quit speeding and texting and talking on the telephone. When you do that, you can’t concentrate on your driving. When I get a phone call, I get to where I’m going and call back. And that’s usually a business call. I’ve got seven grandchildren, and I get mad at them when they sit 10 feet from each other and text. That’s life in the fast line, I guess.

This is great advice from a person who has been out there for many years.    Congratulations Milt.
