“I was with another company and I hit rock bottom. I was introduced to TSH from another driver that I had seen at a truck stop while getting fuel. That driver talked to me about the benefits and opportunities that Tennessee Steel Haulers had to offer. I had nothing else to loose and when I came to TSH and I was welcomed with open arms.”
