Born and raised in McDowell County, Charlie has deep roots in western North Carolina. His work ethic started early as co-owner of Kaylor & Sons Logging, where he learned firsthand what it takes to keep equipment running and a business moving. That experience shaped his approach when he entered the automotive world in 1999 — an approach built on honesty, hard work, and genuine understanding of what local businesses need from their vehicles.

He’s helped countless companies across western NC find the right trucks, vans, and work vehicles to power their success.

Charlie’s expertise spans dump bodies, box trucks, Ford Transits, and heavy-duty Super Duty trucks like the F-250, F-350, F-450-F-550. If your business needs a Super Duty to handle tough jobs, Charlie is your man — he’ll make sure you get the right truck for the right job, tailored to your exact business needs.

What sets Charlie apart isn’t just his expertise — it’s his commitment. He takes pride in building long-term partnerships, not just making sales. His customers know him as approachable, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure their commercial needs are met today and supported for tomorrow.

When he’s not helping businesses thrive, Charlie enjoys time with his wife, Stephanie, their children and granddaughter, traveling the Caribbean, and relaxing with his dog, Doughboy.
