MACON, MO -- OATS Driver John Painter was recently honored as the recipient of the annual 2012 Safe Driver Award for the Northeast Missouri region. Painter was selected to receive the award based on his exemplary commitment to safe driving and outstanding customer service. Painter lives in Monroe County and drives a dialysis route in Ralls County and the surrounding area.

The Safe Driver Award Program was developed by OATS because of an emphasis on the importance of safe driving, and serves as a way to recognize well-deserving staff of professional, caring drivers. OATS recognizes their drivers are the backbone of the business, which is why award programs such as this were created. Companywide, OATS drivers have provided a cumulative total of 2,400 years of safe driving for the people that are served by OATS.
