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.
