Hopefully UPS didn’t over work him when the cameras turned off, they are known to have bad work environments at their sorting hubs which is where the trucks are loaded. I’ve heard about horrible working conditions too from previous employees that worked in the warehouse and as drivers.

God bless you Jake, and UPS as well! We need more companies like that! They care for people before profit!
