Wreaths Across America

December 21st, 2011

Wreaths Across America

Since 1992, Morrill Worcester had been placing wreaths on the graves of fallen soldiers at the Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia. The act began as a simple way for Worcester to show his appreciation to those fallen veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country’s freedom. However, as news of Worcester’s tradition circulated, more and more people wanted to participate and more and more people wanted to provide wreathes to military cemeteries in their areas.
As each year passed, Worcester’s ceremony grew and grew. He began enlisting the help of volunteering trucking companies to carry the wreaths, and in 2006 The Patriot Guard Riders volunteered as escort for the trucks. Today the effort is spurred by hundreds of thousands of volunteers who lay more than 220,000 at about 545 locations in the United States and at other places across the world.
The ceremony is held every year on the second Saturday of December. This year, CR England is happy to announce its participation in the ceremony through one of our Owner Operators, Vince. Vince donated his precious time to use his truck and drive wreaths all the way from Maine to the Wreaths across America event at Fort Rosecrans, CA.
As a truck driver, the more miles you drive, the more money you make. When you are not driving a load, you are not making money. Vince was not getting paid for his long drive from Maine, but he was paying back the veterans of Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery through his service.
The sacrifice of the men and women who have fallen to protect this country is the ultimate sacrifice. It is easy at times to get caught up in the rush of the holiday season and forget the things that really matter. Were it not for our veterans, we might not have the ability to simply go to the store and purchase gifts for our family and friends.
During this holiday season, and at every other time during the year, it is important to never forget our veterans. From the time the Wreaths across America program began, their mission has always been to Remember, Honor and Teach. This program will continue, and every year will remember the fallen veterans, will honor their memory and will teach others to do so as well.
CR England would like to say thank you to all who have fought to protect the freedom of the United States. As a show of our appreciation, CR England offers veterans free tuition to our truck driving school with a 6 month employment agreement. For more information about free truck driving school for veterans and how you can begin your career as a truck driver, visit https://employerpartnership.org/jobs/1/3052.

Charles_69Charles McFall has been driving for C.R. England for 31 years. Starting when the company was still finding a place in the trucking industry, Charles has seen many things through the windshield of his big rig. Now coming close to retirement, Charles has reached a level of driving that many out there aspire to. Charles McFall has reached 4 million safe miles.

This is a great achievement and C.R. England is proud to have drivers like Charles on the road. Charles drives team with his wife, who has 3 million safe miles, and still loves his career. During his most recent run, Charles was interviewed by C.R. England regarding his achievement and his career. The following is a script of the interview.

Charles: My name is Charles William McFall. I’m originally from Brookeville, Kansas and I’ve been working for C.R. England for 31 years.

C.R. England: Tell us about your current driving position.

Charles: Well, I’ve been teaming with my wife for 23 years. She has 3 million safe miles and I have 4.

C.R. England: What to do you like about driving team?

C.R. England: How do you get to 4 million safe miles?

Charles: I enjoy driving and I keep focused on every mile. I drive slower than the traffic around me to make sure I always have safe stopping distance. When I get tired, I’ll take a break and walk around, exercise a little then get back in my truck and drive. That way fatigue doesn’t bother me.

C.R. England: Tell us about the company you work for?

Charles: People here are easy to work with. If you have a problem, you can notify whoever you need to work with and they’ll work as hard as they can to help you.  England has got probably the best equipment on the road today. C.R. England has always got people ready to come out and fix you on the road. To me, that weighs big. C.R. England is really a great company to work for.

Company Driving Positions

October 25th, 2011

When starting your truck driving career, one of the first questions you getasked is company or lease? Do you want to start your own business as a lease driver, or would you be happier simply driving a truck. It is a big decision, and there are a lot of things to consider. How do you decide which one is better?

When researching the difference between lease and company drivers, there seems to be a lot of information out there about leasing, but not as much about company positions. In this article you will find some information about company driving and how you can benefit from a company position.

One thing to consider when thinking about company driving is the money. Not just how much you are making per mile, but truck maintenance and gas as well. When you lease your own truck, you have to pay for that truck and for any of the repairs it might need. Depending on the type of truck and the repairs needed, this can become expensive and you can end up driving in the negative.When going company, it is the responsibility of the business to take care of your rig. Also, as a company driver, you don’t have to stress as much about the rising prices of fuel,your main focus can be the road.

Company driving is also a great way to build your experience. Too often drivers right out of trucking school try to jump into their own truck and end up regretting it. A few months into their job they realize that a truck driver’s lifestyle is not for them, but they are stuck with a lease agreement and can’t afford to let it drop. Starting as a company driver will allow you to get a good feel of the lifestyle and provide you with the opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade before getting out on your own.

Most trucking companies, such as C.R. England, have company truck positions available alongside their lease program. There are plenty of drivers on the road who have made their living as company drivers and who have no intention of switching.

At times you may feel pressured into getting set up as a lease driver, but remember to never do something you are uncomfortable with. If you want to try your legs as a truck driver before starting your own business, go right ahead and do it. Have the job you want to have, become a company driver.

Truck Driving Jobs Highway Angel

October 11th, 2011

Highway AngelIt was July 31 in Lawrence, Kansas, and truck driver Nicholas Lewis was driving in a construction zone. Luckily, it was about 10a.m., between the morning and afternoon rush hours, and traffic was flowing steadily enough. It was starting out to be a day just like any other, when suddenly a car shot past Lewis along the shoulder of the highway.  He shook his head, thinking some people need to learn patience, when the car suddenly swerved directly in front of him;the shoulder it was driving on had come to a sudden end.

The car was too close and Lewis was going too fast to be able to stop in time.  He knew the massive weight of his truck would crush the little car, and most likely the man inside. Using some quick thinking, Lewis jerked his steering wheel to the right and drove straight into a ditch. Fortunately, neither Lewis nor his truck were damaged, and the car drove away not knowing how close it had been to danger.

Highways across the nation are dotted with stories just like this one. The trucking industry is a place where drivers get the chance every day to show that there are still people out there care.Nicholas Lewis risked his life to save a driver who didn’t seem to pay him a single thought, and for that he has been named the Truckload Carriers Association’s newest Highway Angel.

The Highway Angel program is one where truck drivers like Lewis receive well-deserved recognition for their good deeds on the road. These deeds don’t always involve saving life,some of them are simple acts of kindness such as helping a stranded driver change a tire. However, each of these deeds did make a difference and each one of them deserve recognition.

Truck drivers often seem to get a bad reputation. Society sometimes looks down on them, not realizing the risks and sacrifices they make every day. The Highway Angel program is one which will show the public who truck drivers really are.

Any truck driver can be nominated for the program. Those nominated will receive a lapel pin, clothing patch and personalized certificate of appreciation as a Highway Angel.

If you notice a truck driver who displays an act of kindness that you feel goes above and beyond, you can nominate that driver by filling out the Highway Angel nomination form at https://www.truckload.org/index.asp?bid=34.
