Birmingham college student walked 20 miles to 1st day of work so his boss gave him his car

(AL.com) A Carver High School graduate and U.S. Marine hopeful, Carr walked throughout the early morning hours Friday because he needed, and wanted, the job with Bellhops moving company. He made it to Hoover by 2 a.m. and then to Pelham at 4 a.m.

It was in Pelham that the trek took a surprising turn. Kindness and concern from four Pelham police officers coupled with publicly-posted words of amazement and admiration from the moving company’s clients about Carr’s work ethic and dedication, led to a massive pat on the back Monday from Bellhops CEO Luke Marklin.
