Why dealers and drivers use this lane
This route follows I-40 the entire way, climbing through the Blue Ridge near Asheville before leveling out toward Knoxville and on to Nashville. It's a lane we run for both dealer purchases out of Tennessee auctions and personal moves. The mountain crossing near Asheville is the slowest stretch of this route, and carriers running it account for that rather than rushing the grade. Once past Knoxville, the route levels out for the final stretch into Nashville, a contrast to the mountain grade earlier in the drive.
