Thinking of going local (my address is Nashville)

Not exactly close but why not Decatur, Alabama? Lots of plants along the river there.

 

you do understand local work is pretty rough also.

 

Rent and home prices are already double what they were 20 years ago. One reason I don't move from the Nashville area is my 3 bedroom house with garage is just over half the cost of renting a 1 bedroom apartment in the same area. 1 bedroom apartments are going to be in the $1,000/mo and up range, mostly $12-1300. No income tax, 9.75% sales tax

Smyrna and La Vergne (lah vern) have tons of trucking companies and are both more industrial than say Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Clarksville. If at all possible you want to live on the same side of Nahsville as your trucking company yard. You do not want to live west of Nashville and work East of Nashville so that your commute goes through Nashville. Search in all the cities I mentioned and 30-50 miles from them.

Also look in Manchester, Portland, Springfield. You can probably start now with Venture Express in Smyrna. They took over the Nissan account from Averitt Express and have tons of home daily jobs because of it. You would work out of Smyrna. I would warn you to stay away from Central Transport and Universal in Smyrna.

Hollingsworth Oil Company has gasoline tankers servicing gas stations. Greenbrier is an excellent location to live if you want to work for that company. I know one driver that worked there for several years and never had any negative remarks about the company. The reason he left is because he moved to another state to be near family.

 

I have a friend that runs dumptrucks in smyrna area that always seems to need drivers last i heard from him.
