He literally saved my cat, Django. We were camping at a local state park, in our home; a 34’ bus.
A snowstorm hit on Christmas night making driving impossible. I called Joe the next day, but the sun had gone down, we are in an isolated place and the roads were impassable.
So, I wasn’t offended when Joe told me that he wasn’t going to make the treacherous trip at night.
I called Joe the next morning, and although he was already in the middle of a few scheduled trips he agreed to make the drive out to us just as soon as he could. Joe arrived in less than two hours! I was floored.
He gladly drove me and Django to the local emergency vet- 30 miles away. He informed me that the standard $2.50 a mile was going to set me back $70.
Unbelievable deal!
I had spent the two previous days trying to book a Lyft or an Uber and not a single person was willing to make the trip. I don’t blame them, TBH.
JOE IS A HERO!
He’s also an individual with a great sense of humor, he has fantastic taste in music (classic/hard/prog rock).
I can’t say what his usual vehicle is but I was sure grateful that he was driving and 4x4 Jeep. Regardless of the fact that it could have been cleaner- I assume that the Jeep isn’t his usual ride- so am I going to complain if there’s a pair of sandals and other sports stuff kicking around in his car?
Absolutely not.
Joe is a big hearted guy who went out of his way to help a stranger. Maybe he’s a bit crazy, you’d have to be to trust a person you don’t know and drive 20 miles your way to get them. And to do this with terrible road conditions!
But mostly, have faith that they’re going to be good for the fare.
Better than that, after we arrived at the animal hospital Joe and I made a plan to have him swing back to the vets office and take me back to the campground, 90 minutes later. He was right on time as we had discussed. He kindly took me to the supermarket around the corner from the vet to get milk and other necessities. He didn’t charge me wait time while I shopped, either. Another great perk was the lack of the $3.00 “drop fee” charged by other cab companies just for showing up.
Joe is a fine man, and I do truly owe him a debt of gratitude.
He’s a character, Joe. So my thought is that if you’re looking for white glove towncar service, find it elsewhere.
But if you want an honest fella to go out on a limb for you when you’re in trouble-
then Joe is absolutely THE MAN!
