There is a shop in Nashville, TAFA, (Truck Axle Frame Alignment)That is like this.You can eat off of the floor.Literally.They even wipe off their tools, and the truck lifts.The whole thing.Their reputation is unheard of.They've been in business for over 60 years.They are not cheap, by any means.And you're truck will not leave the shop until the job is done right. They do not have customers coming back to have job corrected.Their customer list and base is nationwide, out of that one shop.They take pride in their work, never in a hurry.

Sounds like the place I stopped in not to long ago on the off chance they had a bulb I needed. The work area looked like a show room. I've never seen cleaner, I was thinking...dang :eek:

Deadheading home! 900 miles! Maybe they will call us when they want to load our truck!

If you come straight up I75 you might want to layover at the hwy36 exit in Jackson GA. We've always done well from there. No reason a straight shouldn't as well!!! And you have your choise of truck stops!!

I'd either shoot up 95 to St.George, s.c., at the new flying pilot, or like he said, Jackson, Georgia.There's even a chrome shop there in Jackson, along with some good barbecue! Hold on, I forgot, you are a rolling barbecue stand! Go there, and show him how it's done!

I know it can get frustrating, waiting for a load for several days, but, this is coming out of July, And it is just starting to get wound up again.It'll come around sooner than later.
