Meet Our Drivers With Two Million Accident Free Miles

At Peter Pan Bus Lines, we’re proud to consistently achieve the Highest Safety Ratings from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Defense. What’s more, we’ve also been awarded the highest possible safety rating from the Transportation Safety Exchange, an achievement which allows us to transport the teams of the NCAA.

Our exceptional safety record is thanks in part to our dedicated, professional drivers. Meet two who have driven two million accident free miles!

Originally hired as a driver in 1985, Dennis was Peter Pan’s “Rookie of the Year” in 1986. He has received numerous commendations by customers throughout his years of service, not only for his excellent driving skills, but also for his ready smile, courtesy and professional demeanor, providing the highest standards of customer service to all his passengers. Dennis is considered by his peers to be a role model for all incoming drivers to emulate.

Mr. Magner began his career with Pawtuxet Valley Bus Lines in 1980 as a charter driver throughout the continental USA, and has been with the Providence division since June 23, 1985. Pat was asked many years ago by Peter Pan’s late Chairman to consider coming to work for Peter Pan. Magner actually joined the former Bonanza Bus Lines shortly afterwards, due in part to the fact that the Providence facility is only about a 5 minute drive from his home. He now jokes that the Chairman eventually got his wish in 2003, when Peter Pan acquired Bonanza Bus Lines. Pat is well known in the Providence office, very well liked by all who know him – famous for his terrific sense of humor, he truly enjoys making other people laugh, customers and co-workers alike.

The National Safety Council defines Two Million Miles as the equivalent of twenty-four consecutive years of driving without an accident of any kind; or as paraphrased by President, Peter Picknelly, “8.4 trips to the moon, and 80 times around the earth…without an accident!”…quite an impressive achievement! (Only about 600 drivers have captured Million Mile status nationwide; and of these, only a fraction have accrued Two Million Miles. )

Peter Pan is also proud to boast that four individuals who have achieved Three Million Miles/36 + years of accident-free driving are all employees of Peter Pan Bus Lines – two of whom are the only brothers to have reached this pinnacle!
