UPS lets boy be driver for a day
UPS made a little boy's dream come true by letting him become a driver for a day

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- A UPS driver has granted a little boy's ultimate wish.

A new advertisement for UPS shows how the delivery company made a 4-year-old's dream to become a UPS driver come true.

Carson, of Colorado Springs, according to his mother, always stared out the window as UPS trucks made deliveries. He even has a UPS uniform.

The UPS driver, who Carson calls "Mr. Ernie", says in the ad, "I can come here three times in a week and I get the same reaction every single time. All that excitement. It's pretty neat to see him all the time with his UPS uniform on. He's always looking really sharp with his hat and his boots. The whole outfit!"

UPS and the driver wanted to make Carson's dream come true so the company gave a specially made UPS truck to the boy. They spent a day with Carson letting him act as the driver who makes the special deliveries.
