new at pemberton truck lines

Cookeville is up on the Cumberland Plateau. From Knoxville, if the new 40 construction 17 years ago have not taken out certain S and sharp curves out between Cville and Kville you need to be extra cautious come winter. A little bit of ice, sleet then snow on top. You tool along westbound hit that curve climbing to Cville in the shade, it's gonna get away from you. It does not take much at all.

Winter is not too far off. You will have plenty of time to get acquainted with that part of TN. It's a rather nice area in my opinion. Ive always liked it up there. Course Kville got big, when I first started back in the 80's all it was about 15 minutes and you are finished with Kville. until the truckstops over yonder to the west. Nothing in between. Now it's all filled in with retail and such.

 

Are you local to Knoxville? Some much better paying gigs around the area especially for someone with 5yrs experience

 

Oh. Pidgeon Forge? Oak Ridge?

We want input! LOL. Nothing too specific. But 1.5 hours from there covers alot of ground.

 

MDS in Morristown
Skyline in Knoxville
Southern Freight Services in Morristown
Big G has a terminal at exit 15 on I-81
Carter Express has a terminal in Andersonville

Obviously you've come this far with Pemberton I'm sure you're not looking to quit already. But there's plenty of options around the area if it doesn't work out. I feel confident all those listed will pay better and have equal or better equipment..

i get about 9-10.5 hours of driving a day, usually,
its either drop loaded trailer get returns back to dc, or open doors back up to dock live ul for 10 hour break mt back to dc.

ive made 21k before taxes so far. its nice going to sleep and waking up at the same time everyday. (3 pm to 4-6 am is the on duty) doing the same stupidly simple routes, the freight is light, but it doesnt matter cause the scales you come across are always closed when you get to them. its easy money i just wish there was more of it. the academy stores are stupidly simple to back up to the docks, the dc is big and spacious easy drop and hook, no having to worry about finding a parking spot. if you need time off just ask for it, usually you get it. when you run out of hours or close to it, head to the house, let us know when you wanna come back out.
