Stories That Move
Vontier’s research study received some open-ended tales from drivers sharing joyful memories from their time on the road. Stories have been lightly edited for length and clarity:
“One of my customers made me cookies and eggnog and had them on a bench in front of a heater waiting for me.”
“A family’s car broke down, so they weren’t able to go out shopping for presents. They ordered them. I know how it is during the holidays. They were so happy to receive them early – I even dressed up as an elf to deliver them.”
“A customer thought her package was delivered to the wrong house and gone forever. I recovered it and delivered it to her. I didn’t know it before, but apparently it was her only gift that entire year. I felt like a hero.”
“One Christmas, a customer thought that they weren't going to be able to gift their daughter with the newest iPhone. I got to the customer's house early in the morning when everyone was asleep except for the customer. It was a blizzard outside, and I had to walk through 4 feet of snow to get to the door. The customer was waiting at the window. She saw me and opened the door and was so happy I made it before the presents were opened. She invited me in for hot chocolate and that made my day.”
