James Robertson, 56 - Is this the hardest working man in America? Factory worker who can't afford a car walks 21 miles to work and back every day - whatever the weather :- For ten years James Robertson hasn't missed a single day of work. What's remarkable about the statistic is that he also walks 21 miles just to clock-in each afternoon - before walking 21 miles back home, eight hours later.
For five days a week, Robertson, 56, trudges from his home in Detroit to his job at the factory where he works in Rochester Hills, Michigan. He's walked the walk ever since his 1988 Honda Accord quit on him more than 10 years ago
Detroiter James Robertson, 56, walks about 21 miles a day, round trip
Works in an industrial plastic molding plant - producing high specification parts for clients such as AM General - maker of the Humvee car
Robertson rides bus ride part-way to his hourly job and part-way home
He says he loves his job and his colleagues but buses are limited
Claims he can't afford a car on $10.55 an hour
Occasionally others heading his direction stop and offer him lifts
