Valley UPS driver marks 2 million miles on the job - KRGV
A Harlingen UPS driver was recognized for a significant milestone on Tuesday. Pablo Sanchez has driven nearly 2 million miles without a single blemish on his driving record.
Sanchez has been delivered packages across the Rio Grande Valley for the last 49 years and was even one of the original eight employees hired when UPS first came to the Valley.
“We were responsible for everything,” he recalls. “Washing the trucks, filling them up, unloading the trailers, loading the trucks, [and] delivering all day. Now we’ve got different people for different jobs.”
While he said, a lot has changed, from how the job works to the places he delivers to around Willacy County, every day of the near half-century is enjoyable.
