Printer-Friendly FedEx Honors Five New “Aces”


The FedEx Aces program, introduced in 2007, is designed to honor the very best of our truck driving champions. The initiative recognizes contractors and drivers who have maintained safe-driving records, won at least five state championships and participated in at least five national competitions.

The inaugural Aces class included 18 drivers and contractors. This year, five more FedEx drivers earned the Aces distinction:

  • Eric Courville – FedEx Freight (Lafayette, La.)
  • David Fountain – FedEx Express (Williston, Vt.)
  • Ryan Kelley – FedEx Freight (Mason City, Iowa)
  • Toby Kort – FedEx Freight (North Platte, Neb.)
  • John Willinger – FedEx Freight (Louisville, Ky.)

Each Ace will receive a commemorative plaque to be displayed at the driver’s domicile facility as well as one to keep.

Congratulations to all of the FedEx Aces for their stellar commitment to safety!
