Werner Welcomes First FOUR Million Miler
Werner Driver Endorf: Four million miles of safe driving! by Amy Yeck
Four million miles. That's about 160 times around the Earth.
Driving such a distance, especially without having a preventable
accident, seems
unfathomable to most professional drivers. Well, Werner Driver
Charley Endorf recently reached that notable milestone. For
Charley, the accomplishment is all in a day's work. "I never put
that much value or thought into reaching a certain goal or getting
so many miles," he said. "I just feel very fortunate to be able to
accomplish this milestone." Charley's perseverance and dedication
to the profession he loves certainly haven't been a hindrance to
his amazing driving record, but this driver said he continues to
find inspiration from a more spiritual source.
