The man walks on a dozen miles on the first day of work, CEO gifts him car as thanks

This was supposed to be Walter Carr's first day of work with a moving company on Sunday when his car broke down. But, instead of calling, he walked all night to be at the hour.

Carr's vehicle stopped working the night before her first day with the Bellhops moving company, and he knew that he could not miss it. So, he decided to walk. Carr began her hike from Homewood, Alabama, to the town of Pelham, Alabama, at midnight. He traveled at least 14 miles before the police took it at four in the morning, reports WIAT-TV, a CBS affiliate.

Once the police heard his story, they took Carr to breakfast. Then they made him take a ride the rest of the way to the Lamey family's home, which he had to help move that morning.

"I'm really proud to be in the same team as Walter", Markli wrote on Twitter, "We have set the bar very high on service and he just got up, we can not wait to thank him in person this week." But Marklin did a great job. little more than thanking Carr – he offered Carr his 2014 Ford Escape, according to WIAT-TV.
