We do not have a Tennessee rate yet

Sample size is zero. Calls are under way, and no hourly band publishes for Tennessee until the sample clears our floor and part of it has been cross-checked against submitted invoices. The figures below are the national placeholder every cost page falls back to — they are not a measurement of this state.

A fabricated state band would be undetectable by a reader and would quietly corrupt every repair estimate on the site, because the hourly rate is the multiplier under all of them. So the gap stays visible. If you have an invoice from a Tennessee shop, it moves this page faster than anything else can.

Class 8 tractor

$125–$210/hr

national placeholder

Class 6–7 medium duty

$110–$185/hr

national placeholder

Class 3–5 and diesel pickup

$95–$165/hr

national placeholder

Source of the bands above: provisional national placeholder — TODO(verify), not yet from our collected dataset. We have no Tennessee call-out figure at all yet, so none is shown — a roadside minimum varies more by operator than by state, and guessing at it would be the least defensible number on the page.

What drives the rate in Tennessee

Tennessee carries the I-40 corridor across its full width, joining Memphis in the west to Nashville in the middle and Knoxville and the I-81 corridor in the east. Memphis is a major air and ground logistics hub with deep late-night and weekend shop capacity, which matters when a truck goes down outside business hours. Nashville has grown into a substantial distribution market. The eastern grades toward the North Carolina and Virginia lines are hard on brakes and cooling, and the I-40/I-75 split near Knoxville is a chronic congestion point.

The federal annual inspection requirement under 49 CFR 396.17 applies to commercial motor vehicles operating in Tennessee. Tennessee does not operate a separate statewide periodic safety inspection for most commercial vehicles; enforcement is roadside, conducted by the Tennessee Highway Patrol Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division under the North American Standard inspection procedure. TODO(verify): current THP CVE programme scope and any requirements specific to intrastate operations.

Freight corridors through Tennessee

Where you break down inside a state moves the bill as much as which state it is. Rates on a corridor with competing truck stops and several independents run below the same work at a dealer two hundred miles from anywhere.

  • I-24
  • I-40
  • I-55
  • I-65
  • I-75
  • I-81
  • I-240
  • I-440

TODO(verify): no defensible sample yet. Rates print as "collection in progress" until sampleSize is above zero and the figures are verified against submitted invoices. Local context: Memphis and Nashville anchor a heavy I-40 corridor; rates vary widely between the two.

Verified shops in Tennessee

We call every shop before it appears here, and publish the date.

Sample records only — seeded to demonstrate the directory. None of these numbers has been called.

This band improves every time somebody sends an invoice showing what a Tennessee shop actually charged. Quoted rates and charged rates are not the same number.

No account. No email required. We publish aggregates only, never your invoice.
