A Zionsville man says UPS has agreed to clean up the mess they left in his driveway after RTV6 started making calls on his behalf.

Less than an hour after RTV6 started making calls, Jake Edgerton said UPS contacted him and said they were looking back into the case and trying to figure out a resolution.

“I think it finally got their attention,” said Edgerton. “I think it really helps when anytime you involve the media in a message like that. Which is unfortunate, right, because you just want people to do the right thing the first time around.”

A Zionsville homeowner has been left on the hook to clean up an oil mess from a UPS truck in his driveway.

On Aug. 22, a UPS delivery truck left oil streaks on the asphalt of Jake Edgerton’s Zionsville driveway.

“Those were not there that morning but they were there right after the UPS truck left though,” Edgerton said.

Pilot Flying J announced Monday the winners of its annual Road Warrior contest that recognizes truck drivers who have a passion for their job and for making a difference in their community.

Longtime UPS driver Victoria Andrade was named the grand prize winner, which carries with it a $10,000 award. Andrade was nominated by her family, who said they are proud of her for being “a fierce woman and an outstanding employee for UPS.”

To honor Victoria Andrade, PFJ surprised her with a celebration at the Pilot Travel Center near her hometown and presented her with the $10,000 top prize check.

Through its multiple partnerships with EV startups, the company is precipitating a sustainable transformation in the delivery industry.

Back in June, UPS unionized workers were heading for a big strike after the company announced it wanted to make part-time employees, full time, so they could make weekend deliveries.

What’s the big deal?

Well, full-time employees typically earn $36-an-hour, while part-timers make considerably less at $15-an-hour. The company wanted to pay those weekend employees $15-an-hour despite working full-time hours.

Fortunately, for UPS shareholders, the company came to a five-year agreement with the Teamsters, who represent the 250,000 (58% of the total workforce), unionized employees.
