Uber’s driver, DaVante Williams, did a great deed to help someone who was stuck in a snowstorm. He has been offered a new job. DaVante was driving Uber for a passenger from D.C. to Virginia earlier this month, when they got stuck on Interstate 95 for 5 hour due to a winter storm.
He didn’t want to end up stuck on the road without gas while sitting in traffic; but because Williams, 32, realized there was probably no way for the woman to get home as she was taking Uber because her train had been canceled due to weather, he decided to put her up in a hotel with his own money.
“She’s telling me she’s okay, but I could hear her on the phone talking to family and friends and I can hear that she’s just exhausted, emotional, and just tired,”Williams shared his thoughts with KMOV4.
Williams helped the woman get checked in to a hotel. She was later able for a friend to bring her home. He claimed that she texted Williams later to let him know that she was safe.
Williams is now a qualified driver for Alto, the ride-sharing company. Williams indicated that he would be training drivers to maintain their cars and provide customer service.
“We are thrilled,”Alto spokeswoman said this in an email to CNN “DaVante is exactly the type of customer and safety focused leader we are looking to help lead our DC presence.”
He is interested in the details of the job, as he works full-time as both a realtor and property manager.
