What kind of local driving exists in Tennessee?

I spent a week in Colorado, July 1st through July 7th. Went to buy fuel for my car the night before leaving and there were orange cones lined up across the entrance to the gas station that I was going to use. My Daughter that lives in Colorado told me that gas stations are running out of fuel. There is no shortage of gasoline but there is a shortage of tanker drivers to get fuel from pipelines and refineries to the gas stations. Apparently that is what I experienced. I went to another station that was priced higher and paid $3.86 per gallon. On the way home I filled up 1/2 of the way into my trip and paid $2.68 in another state. Looks like they are short tanker drivers in Colorado.

 

That’s why I left Austin. It was getting worse every year.

 

Mmmmmm if you're talking about a local gig in Tennessee working for a Dairy Company, Turner Dairy in is West TN, and middle Tennessee is Purity Dairy. East TN I wanna say is Mayfield. That's just in the route business, if you don't mind delivering to stores and such. As far as tankers, there used to be a local company that hauled out of Heritage Farms in Murfreesboro, but now some of the bigger tanker companies haul in and out of there, and they aren't solely limited to milk. I believe its Indian River that has the regular routes there but I am not for sure.

 

Tennessee is expensive from Nashville going eastbound, more specifically I-65 going east. I live in Memphis, and it's very cheap, but to be fair, I live in City limits. If you're wanting to live in the more well to do areas, it will be a little more coin.

 

It seems that autos are taking over. It really isn't that bad though, especially if you're working in Nashville. Are you only wanting to haul milk or are you open? I had a friend in Memphis that was working for Armstrong Transportation. They pretty much just haul pallets. He only moved trailers around Memphis, then he would do runs to Jackson, MS or to Hot Springs, AR, that type of radius. Home every night. Kroger is in Memphis. If closer to Nashville area, I'd try Firstfleet. They're based in Murfreesboro but I bet you could get a local gig working all the Peyton Warehouses in the area.

 

Line haul are those LTL companies that ride around pick up or deliver to spots on the route, they usually load/unload their own freight, like Estes, Old Dominion, ABF, YRC etc
