Six days a week, he drives round trip from Rexburg to Salt Lake City along Interstate 15, with multiple stops along the way.In a conversation with EastIdahoNews.com, Clements says he's typically on a time crunch to get passengers where they need to be, so there isn't any time to sightsee.

He arrives at work around 4:30 a.m. Despite this, Clements says he loves the job and it's the interaction with people that makes it rewarding.
