Over 75 Cars Line Street To Show Thanks for UPS Driver Who's Worked Tirelessly Through Pandemic

It’s a blessing that many of us can have just about anything we want or need delivered to our doorstep, but that means someone has to be out there pounding the pavement and spending long days on the road so we can benefit.

One of those people is Anthony Gaskin. He’s an unassuming man, always ready with a wave and a smile for residents as he brings them the packages they’ve been anxiously awaiting.

So on Dec. 15, 2020, those residents in Midlothian, Virginia, decided to let him know just how much he meant to them with an amazing turnout of people lining the road to honk horns, hold signs and cheer the delivery man on.

Patty Friedman and a group of neighbors planned the event, which has made headlines since it was held.

“Arriving on bikes, on foot, and in more than 75 cars, hundreds of Hallsley residents lined the road and waited for Anthony to turn the corner,” Friedman wrote in an email, according to WTVR-TV. “A humble man, he needed to be coaxed, but eventually, slowly drove his truck down the road while children and adults held up signs, screamed his name, honked their horns, and rang bells.”
