    Anyone know of any companies with good routes in Tn? In 19 and looking to get into the trucking world but was wondering what companies have lanes in Tn seeing as I cant run out of state. I could probably get a local job but Id rather burn up the roads the most I can and get out of state when I turn 21, or should I just wait until I turn 21?

    For insurance purposes you really won't be tractor trailer ready until your 21-25 depending on the company. I say that because unless its a farm job running grain trailers all other local work usually requires 1 or more years of experience.

    Not even a local construction company say pulling end dumps or skateboards? Or a lumber yard hauling flats of building materials?

    I worked for a lumber yard and a farm company driving around town. When your under 21 they have a limit on what you can drive. Check with construction companies that are fairly small and also farms in the area.

    Usually these guys will offer something even if it is driving from the fields to the grain bins. Check with those 2 kinda outfits first.
     
    bobvillaoftn Thanks this.
