AmeriPride Driver Wins 1st Delivery Competition
Brian Baumeister from the Buffalo, N.Y., suburb of Bowmansville may have flown into New York City, but he had the option to drive home in a brand new GMC Jimmy sport utility vehicle.
Baumeister, a driver for AmeriPride Services Inc., won the SUV after earning the top score and being named Delivery Driver of the Year in the inaugural Race to Deliver, a national competition for parcel delivery drivers that was held Sept. 10-11.
The three drivers also won seven-day Caribbean cruises.
