Holland professional driver Keith Fielding achieved the accomplishment of driving over three million consecutive miles without a single preventable accident.

To put this in perspective, the distance he has driven is equivalent to driving from San Francisco to New York City 1,030 times in a row or is equivalent to making over six consecutive round trips to the moon—all without a preventable accident.

Fielding will be honored for his achievement at the Holland Dayton service center beginning with a police escort into the facility and including a celebratory gathering of family, friends and co-workers.

Fielding joined Holland in 1984 and averages approximately 12,000 miles a month driving between Dayton, Ohio and Joliet, Ill.

"I figured out long ago that it is important to be safe at what you do," said Fielding. "It snowed over twelve inches my first night on the road. I had great driving teachers so smart safety practices just became a habit."
 
He added, “Any driver can be accident-free. You just have to be a bit more patient and more observant. We receive the necessary training. When behind the wheel, I just keep thinking about staying safe and driving the way I was trained. I accept the weather and road conditions as a given and focus on being the safest I can be.”
 
Fielding joins a select group of only two other active Holland drivers to have achieved the elite status of driving over three million miles without a preventable accident. In addition, there are 420 active Holland drivers on the road who have reached the safety milestone of driving over one million consecutive miles without a preventable accident and 139 active Holland drivers who have reached more than two million consecutive miles without a preventable accident.
