C.R. England Adds 2016 Western Star 5700 XE Tractors to Fleet
C.R. England introduced the 2016 Western Star 5700 XE tractors into its fleet July 14.
Almost 200 units will be in service, with tenured solo and team drivers and million-mile drivers receiving the Western Star vehicles first. The new units also will be offered to tenured independent contractors with lease availability.
Manufactured in the Cleveland, North Carolina, Daimler plant, the Western Star 5700 XE sports woodgrain and leather interiors, a Detroit powertrain and safety features including forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise and hill-start technologies.
“The adaptive cruise is so innovative and makes it easier to focus on being safe,” Chief Operating Officer Zach England said after driving one of the vehicles. “We are pleased with this new addition to our fleet and expect it to be quite popular with our drivers.”
