Car hauling in Nashville, TN.
Nashville is six hours up I-26 and I-40, and Middle Tennessee is one of the densest vehicle-manufacturing regions in the country. Nissan Smyrna and GM Spring Hill put a steady stream of new vehicles on the road, and Manheim Nashville at Mount Juliet anchors the wholesale side.

Straight answers
Is Nashville a scheduled lane for you?
No. Middle Tennessee is part of our Southeast running and is quoted by the load; our scheduled long lanes are Texas and Minneapolis. Ask for the next truck with room rather than assuming you need a dedicated trip.
Do you pick up at Manheim Nashville?
Yes, at Mount Juliet, on the same trip as other Middle Tennessee stops. Manheim requires a gate pass for every vehicle leaving that lot, so send the Vehicle Release with the request.
How long is Spartanburg to Nashville?
About three hundred and ninety miles and six hours of driving, either up I-26 to I-40 or across on I-85 to I-24.
Can you handle Knoxville and Chattanooga too?
Both are on the way, depending on the route, and both load without a detour.
