5-Year-Old’s ‘Refreshment Stop’ Shows Appreciation for FedEx, UPS Drivers - Transport Topics

Jack Mahar loves delivery trucks and the people who drive them.

The kindergartener at Hillside Elementary in Niskayuna, N.Y., had a delivery-themed fifth birthday party and one of the first words he learned to write was “UPS,” according to his mom, Amanda Mahar.

Jack has gotten to see a whole lot of UPS Inc., FedEx Corp. and USPS trucks these days. Like every student across the country, Jack’s home is now school. Couple that with the fact home deliveries have increased drastically as consumers rely heavily on internet shopping and he’s basically guaranteed to see one — or many — of his favorite trucks each afternoon.

I used to always stop whenever some kids had set up a lemonade stand on my route. I would hand them $1 for a very watery cup of Kool-Aid.

Hope he has all the necessary permits and health Inspections . Upstate will probably turn him in.

Ironically there was another kid in roughly this same area who had set up a lemonade stand that the NY DOH shut down for lack of a permit.
