What about concrete? I see ads for Nashville Ready Mix, or Metro Ready Mix

Probably some sweet gigs around the many Recording Studios in the Guitar , why would you enter the slave trade.

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.

Thanks for the recommendation. OK, so I'll start looking near Smyrna. I recently came across a craigslist ad from Venture Express, but wasn't sure it was local or regional... I guess it doesn't really matter if I'm gone a couple nights per week. I'll give them a call.

Venture not to bad. Have friend talk with everyday. Does 3 trips to MI every week 80k+ a yr. Have alot day cab runs. Just no bells and whistles. You drive the miles get paid........... Just keep coming south. Smaller towns, less traffic, cheaper living expense. I'm at small company 10 trucks. Across the board it's hard to beat what I got.
