UPS Delivers! Amazing Efforts
Jan 5, 2022 01:58:24 #
On December 27, 2021 my family and I witness a nearly 3 hour ordeal in a blizzard where ordinary citizens mustered up four 4x4s and went to the aid of a UPS driver who had gotten stuck on a very muddy rural road. Just after he got stuck a neighbor with a tractor tried to pull him out but couldn't do it.
The storm worsened and the UPS truck was stuck deep to the axles. I took this photo at the height of the wait. The UPS driver stayed patiently with his truck.
About 30 minutes after this photo was taken the 4x4's showed up and they hooked up to one another (daisy chain) and backed down to the UPS truck. They were able to successfully pull him up the steep muddy incline and he went on his way delivering his packages.
It was a good day for neighbors and a cheap tow for UPS! Neighbor helping neighbor is what this world is about.
Happy New Year 4x4 drivers and UPS for being so considerate and determined in adverse situations.
Cheers Hoggers!

A second photo adds some perspective to the situation.

Out in the Country, a good UPS driver almost becomes a friend. Entirely unsurprising but laudable behavior. I'd do the same for our driver, Mark, anytime.

Great story - Agree - ditto, we've known our driver for many years (near the end of our second decade with Chris Xxx) !!
