Va., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kentucky Motor Truck Association
has named Overnite Transportation's Doug King, a Louisville, Ky.,
city driver, to the Kentucky Road Team, an elite group of the
state's most accomplished professional drivers. Honored by his
colleagues and customers as one of the industry's best drivers,
King, a professional driver for more than 25 years, has logged more

answer questions about the trucking industry's commitment to
highway safety. "Doug's accomplishments behind the wheel and in his
community are a credit to the company and to truck drivers
nationwide," said Overnite Vice President- Safety Phil Warren. "He
is truly one of our best, and we are proud to have him represent
the company on Kentucky's Road Team." On May 16, UPS (NYSE:UPS)
