HONORING BILL HENDERSON

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 120 (Wednesday, July 22, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 120 (Wednesday, July 22, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E726] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING BILL HENDERSON ______ HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER of georgia in the house of representatives Wednesday, July 22, 2026 Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bill Henderson, a Savannah-based commercial truck driver, on a milestone achievement in American trucking. After 37 years behind the wheel, Bill recently completed four million consecutive accident-free miles, becoming just the fifth driver in XPO's history to reach this distinction. To put that number in perspective, four million miles is roughly 160 trips around the globe. Every one of those miles was driven while hauling freight that keeps Georgia's economy moving and our shelves stocked. Bill's discipline behind the wheel has kept his fellow drivers and everyday Georgians safe on our highways. Professional truck drivers like Bill are the backbone of our supply chains, and safety records like his are a testimony to his daily commitment. On behalf of the 1st District of Georgia, I congratulate Bill on this remarkable career achievement and thank him for his decades of service on our roads. ____________________
