    His career is over. UPS isn’t going to rehire someone with that kind of baggage. Union representation or not. I don’t even think Western Express could risk hiring him.

    Willis typically packs a cooler of beers to celebrate the end of his shift while driving back home; but on the day of the crash, he started early,” Vavala wrote, noting that Willis admitted drinking three beers. “Willis admitted he usually drinks beer and drives on the way home from work; attended AA meetings to curb his drinking; and was drinking and driving sometime before the crash,” the judge noted.

    WTH??..
