    I was wondering the same thing. How are they with trainers? They sound like a nice company from what little info I have seen.

    I thought I read somewhere that they have their own school and have trainers for recent grads? Maybe they have changed that recently. I hope not. I would like to get hooked up with a good smaller company when I get out of school.

    Yes, "there own school" in their parking lot in Lebanon. I think there home office is in Ashland City by the water heater plant. The have numerous trailers with short rubber, as they haul many water heaters to dockless locations.

    Water heaters aren't too hard to wrestle.

    There is another company that hauls heaters up there too. Aquaglas? Someone else too.

    They strap 4 to a pallet, when you empty that truck you know you did some work. They break them down at the rear of the trailer. I have delivered many loads out of that plant, as well as many of the trucking companies in middle TN.

    I remember several loads, I had to meet some guy at these storage lockers off of 75N in Chattanooga......what a nightmare! I had to back off the street and inside this chained in area surounding the storage lockers, and then I had to exit out of the passenger door, because to get even close to his units I was tight next to the chain link fence, showed up at dusk and by the time I was unloaded it was pitch dark., fun getting out of that tight hole in the dark, had to make sure the over hang on the trailer would not take out the fence.

    I think Dillon out of Mt. Julliette, Tn. hauls those water heaters also.

    Allow Me,

    You are correct, as well as just about all the Nashville dry freight companies. There is a company called Loknivare (wrong spelling) right next to RE west there in lebanon and they haul water heaters too, I think they warehouse them too? They are right behind the Pilot in Lebanon.
