30 years safe driving is no joke. A serious achievement.

[tomsmith]

30 years no A/C in the truck, that's no

[gregcollins]

I've always thought UPS drivers should run for local office. They know everybody.

[Schoondogg]

I’m on year 2 at UPS. It’s a tough job, but it motivates you to pursue an education. About halfway done with my accounting degree

[ftkop]

Notice how he's looking fit. All that walking and lifting kept him fit and healthy

[Leprechaun-qvmo]

that 30 patch on his shoulder means 30 years of clean and safe driving.

Enjoy your retirement sir. I started in 1982. Will hit 36 years in August 2018. Been driving 33!!!

God bless this man he seems to be really humble hopefully he lives a long and fulfilling life and just enjoy the years left after working such a hard job

30 year of safe driving with no AC is just as hard as 30 years of marriage. "Kudos to you sir"

Got a guy here in Oregon who drove the same route for 46 years. He finally retired last year

I like UPS ...if a driver is standing in line at the store I will buy his drink or open doors for them or keep an eye on his truck anything I can to help those guys !!

A ups man saved my grandmas life. Her house was on fire in the early morning as she was sleeping. He got her out safe and called for help. The fire had started in the attic above her bedroom. It was a total loss of the house but thanks to him she was still alive.

What a kind and genuine person. Need more people like Richie.

Running a route is not easy. Hats off to this guy. He is right about the relationships and people you meet.

The truth is everyone has a story. Everyone could have a movie made out of their lives and you are the main character, the star of it. Each person has a whole life of experiences, memories, moments (good, bad, amazing) and if we had the time, I'm sure we'd be interested and addicted to watching what everyone does with their lives.

Man.. I dunno if anybody from the mail or any delivery service is watching. All I want to say is THANKS!! The work you guys do is unreal!!

[earlybird]

Surviving 30 years at that hellhole is a definite accomplishment. He can stand anything life throws at him now. He's already had the hell beat out of him.

Thank you for your service and 30 years of safe driving. Truely an unsung hero
