Kudos to UPS for letting them use the package car. He must have had a sense of humor. Maybe I can be transported in a 45' trailer to mine.

This was awesome. I am so glad UPS let them do this. Just goes to show that some people at UPS still have a heart.

The most touching UPS story I have ever seen in my career.

Its stories like this that give me a shimmer of hope that UPS corporate really cares about its employees like they claim.

I'm sure the use of the package car had to approved all the way up the ladder and kudos, finally, to the management comittee in regards to granting an employee's final wishes and making his family feel special in a difficult time!
