Real feel good story bout a chap who walked all night cause his car broke down in the evening so that he could get to his first day of work. And boy does his dedication get rewarded!!
Glad to see there are good people and such great stories in this often pretty bleak world.

Carr's vehicle stopped working the night before his first day with the moving company Bellhops, and he knew he couldn't miss it. So, he decided to walk. Carr began his hike from Homewood, Alabama, to the town of Pelham, Alabama, at midnight. He walked at least 14 miles before police picked him up at 4 a.m., reports CBS affiliate WIAT-TV.
quote:
Once police heard his story, they took Carr to breakfast. Then, they gave him a ride the rest of the way to the home of the Lamey family, who he was scheduled to help move that morning.

"I'm really proud to be on the same team as Walter," Marklin wrote on Twitter, "We set a high bar on service and he just raised it. Look forward to thanking him in person this week." But, Marklin did a bit more than just thank Carr -- he gifted Carr his 2014 Ford Escape, according to WIAT-TV.

Give the guy props for effort. A missing attribute in America today.

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
And picked that rug up off your floor
