Never thought a Kiefer Manufacturer in Sneedville TN could sell so many trailers. If they could get more materials they could up production. He said today he was 157 trailers behind.

Jeanne, how far are you from Groton, NY?
So that is why Greenes s sells those trailers. I had no idea they were made in Sneedville. They are good looking trailers.

David Greene sold the machinery and equipment business and bought Kiefer which is in the industrial park west of town. Not a huge factory by company standards but a dozen employees and make 3-5 trailers a week. Yes they are nice trailers. The horse trailers are fancy. A dealer in Mississippi this week said that if you are buying an aluminum cattle trailer because its light your buying the wrong trailer. The cattle trailers are made heavy but made to last a lifetime.

B&G Trailer Sales in Groton is a dealer for Kiefer. I looked and thought to myself, that looks like it is really near Jeanne. Don't have one going there at the moment but for sure will get with you when I come.
So is that who you are driving for on all of these trips?
If he is over 100 behind on orders, it may be time to expand.
I don't suppose he sells them directly from the plant does he, since the tractor dealership is one of his dealers.

I'm driving for the factory .
The biggest issue right now is supply of the products to build them. They sent a truck and flatbed to Oklahoma to get rubber flooring this week.
A few of the trailers are picked up there but I'm not sure who sold them.
Call tomorrow and ask.
Kiefer Mfg 423-724-7390
Its less than an hour from you if you want to take a scenic drive over. You can even design one to fit your needs.

Thanks. I am not ready to buy yet, but I am over there from time to time. I have a case that happened on River Road right now.
Factory location..........
Cross the River Bridge going North toward the Town Of Sneedville make a left onto Hwy 33 at the Clinch River Market store as soon as you cross the Clinch River bridge and go west then turn right onto Mabe Holler road (Seal Mathis School) and then onto Back Valley road and there it is.. The Factory is not far up that road after you turn.

The other driver left tonight with a trailer heading to Corsica SD. 2600 miles round trip so he should be back early Friday. I leave Friday for Ocala Fl. 1300 miles round trip.
Driver went to Mississippi yesterday. Looks like 5200 miles this week. 2 drivers.

Is there a return load or trailer of any kind? It seems a waste if there is not. But I also understand that kind of thing is difficult to schedule.
I have a former client that moved to Atlanta many years ago and now he is "mega-wealthy" because he started a logistics company for just this reason.

Are any of the Canadian members anywhere near Calgary AB? We have a dealer north of there looks like in the middle of nowhere that has 24 trailers ordered. Kiefer Canada is the name of the business. We will pull them as doubles to northern North Dakota and they will pick them up there.

And when are you going to quit your "REAL JOB" ?????
Bad thing about this trailer pulling job, you don't have any time to take a "side trip" it seems like....to see any of the country.

I stop and see things almost every trip but usually only an hour or so. Stopped at LT2 Farms in Gainesville FL Saturday.
