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?LOL Kenny, I also have a 2014 Dodge but mine is a 3500 dually - biggest difference is mine has about 44,000 miles on it! Diesel not even broke in!
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.So that is why Greenes s sells those trailers. I had no idea they were made in Sneedville. They are good looking trailers.
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.6 miles! Are you coming!!! I'll feed you!
So is that who you are driving for on all of these trips?David Greene sold the machinery and equipment business and bought Kiefer which is in the industrial park west of town.

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.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.

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.
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.
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.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.
This trip to Florida i am bringing a trailer back. The SD trip will probably be nothing coming back.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.
Especially pulling 2 trailers. Wanna go? LolKenny that is starting to sound like a full time job. Northern ND is no stroll in the park.
