After nearly 30 years with Estes, Pickup and Delivery Driver Percell Bowser has hit an incredible milestone—2 million safe miles driven. But what makes this accomplishment even more special? He’s done it all by rarely leaving his home turf in Charlotte, NC. Percell’s completed a few short runs to Atlanta, GA or Richmond, VA, but has never been an over-the-road driver. He credits his accomplishment to Estes’ emphasis on safety and investment in technology. Read more about Percell in his The Trucker feature: https://lnkd.in/gega5Ucn
