The company celebrated this achievement in a ceremony recently at its Fresno, Calif., service center. Painter traveled his accident-free miles between 1985 and 2006.

“All of us at Con-way take great pride and pleasure in honoring Larry Painter for his exceptional achievement,” said David S. McClimon, president, Con-way Freight. “This milestone clearly demonstrates Larry’s commitment and dedication to safety — one of our core values.”
Painter has driven for Con-way Freight for 21 years, and earned company honors as California Driver of the Month in 1999 and 2003, and California Driver of the Year in 2003. He has been a professional truck driver for 30 years and currently lives in Fresno with his wife of 32 years. The couple has two children. In his time off, he enjoys collecting die-cast cars.
