    Hello all looking for good start up options in West Tennessee near Dyersburg-Jackson areas . I would love a company with rider / pet policy for the spouse. I am currently working out of Memphis Tennessee about a month as FedEx Ground, just wanting something closer to home . Thanks

    I have no suggestions but I did spend quite a bit of time in Bolovar in Hardeman county at the site where Velsicol chemical from Memphis buried 16,000 drums of DDT in the 70s.

    closest motel was 45 minutes away in Jackson.

    sees like a decent sized town, Gotta be a couple of companies there looking for new drivers.

    Plenty of decent companies with rider/pet policy that may not have a terminal in Jackson/Dyersburg, but still hire from that area.
    How much experience do you have?

    I’m trying to get my wife out of factory work, and introducing her to the road so She will probably ride a few days to gauge her opinions lol, I really enjoy driving so I’m thinking a regional gig may be best balance to cover all the bases.. Thanks for your replies also
