             GARY BRADLEY--ONE MILLION ACCIDENT FREE MILES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES H. TAYLOR

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 28, 2003

  Mr. TAYLOR of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the 
hard work and professionalism of Mr. Gary Bradley, a constituent of 
mine from Asheville, North Carolina.
  Mr. Bradley, who drives a tractor-trailer truck for the Roadways 
Express terminal in Asheville, North Carolina, was recently recognized 
for an outstanding achievement; driving one million accident free 
miles. Mr. Bradley is the head of the Roadways Express terminal's 
Injury Prevention Information program, which focuses on teaching 
defensive driving skills, which can prevent often fatal accidents. 
Gary's recent milestone proves that he certainly practices what he 
preaches.
  Bradley has earned the plaudits of several of his colleagues. 
Asheville terminal manager Joel Pressley said ``It's very rare when one 
of our drivers hit that mark. And the fact that he is an inner-city 
driver and why he drove a million miles is why we think it is so 
significant. I would consider him one of our best drivers.''
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 11th Congressional District of North 
Carolina, I want to thank Gary Bradley for his commitment to safety. He 
makes our highways safer and getting to our final destination a lot 
easier.
