Delivering the Goods: A Labor of Love for UPS Driver Jay Valentin

(White House) Ed. note: This is cross-posted on the U.S. Department of Transportation s blog. See the original post here.
Like many Americans, when Jesus "Jay" Valentin – a UPS driver – goes to sleep at night in his New Jersey home, he s got a lot on his mind.
He thinks about tomorrow s deliveries and worries about what the traffic will be like and what the weather will mean for road conditions. He calculates how much next month s mortgage payment will leave his family – his wife Jenny and four kids – for savings. He wonders how he will pay for his daughter Tiffany’s college education – she’s 16 now and thinking toward the future.
Last Friday, I had the chance to meet Jay and some of his coworkers at the UPS hub in Secaucus, New Jersey. It was an eye-opener in many ways.
