An Alabama resident named Walter Carr just received a car from the founder/CEO of his company after walking nearly 20 miles to work. According to Carr, the night before a work day his car broke down. Instead of calling out, he started on the journey to his job at midnight to be there on time. His dedication did not go unnoticed. Carr works for Bellhops, a company that helps families move. And Carr wasn't about to let down a family that was counting on him. So he did the unexpected. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid340902853033709&seta.116430442147619.1073741826.100013419909951&type3&theater Pelham Police spotted Carr at least 14 miles into his journey and picked him up to treat him to breakfast.
