    So, today at about 11 am we locked up the office after getting all the computers and phones working. Tomorrow morning we will be 100% operational in our new Chattanooga office. No more working out of the house in IL. It is almost like a real company now.

    And now the fun begins. We are hiring several more people for the office. Going full speed ahead with the training and leasing on 10-15 drivers by end of February.

    Thanks to everyone for the help and support in helping us get to this stage. And extra thanks to all those that said we couldn't do it. You gave us the little extra motivation to push through the long nights.

    Now onto the next step towards world domination. :biggrin_25525:

    Congrats on the step up. Chattanooga is pretty cool once you get use to it.

    If I knew you were looking at this area there is a nice empty trucking company building and lot up here.

    Dalton, GA is a hotspot for outbound freight with all the carpet mills. Up here in Dayton is Goodman Manufacturing (window AC's) and La-Z-boy if you are looking for more opportunities.
     
    BigBadBill Thanks this.

    Thank you

    For us the drive has been more than money. At the end of a hard day we remember that we are helping people and that is what drives us through the long, hard days and weeks. Well that and drinking. This can be a challenging business to get involved in make sure you have a strong motivator and some powerful long term goals.


    We did get a secured lot but it is not near our office. But if you get in the area give us a call.

    TN is a model trucking state in terms of laws for both the carrier and the O/O. And we feel in love with Chattanooga when we visited. Just a great town.

    Per response above we wanted to stay in TN. We looked at Dalton and have some customers in that area but we are just loving the area. And always looking for business.
