Fleets on the streets of Nashville

Oct. 7, 2016
It may well be that there's more concentrated live music going on in Nashville, TN's downtown area than anywhere else you'll find, but fleets likely aren't very far behind. Light trucks, medium-duties and even big Class 8's are as common a sight as a bar or boot shop.

It may well be that there's more concentrated live music going on in Nashville, TN's downtown area than anywhere else you'll find, but fleets likely aren't very far behind. Light trucks, medium-duties and even big Class 8's are as common a sight as a bar or boot shop.

Last week at the PeopleNet-TMW Systems joint in.sight conference in that city, the host location — the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center — provided all the conferencing, exhibiting, dining, shopping and other activities one could want along with a hotel stay and industry meeting. But this editor couldn't resist a stop in to the city's downtown proper after things wrapped up, so here are some photos from Music City.

About the Author

Aaron Marsh

Before computerization had fully taken hold and automotive work took someone who speaks engine, Aaron grew up in Upstate New York taking cars apart and fixing and rewiring them, keeping more than a few great jalopies (classics) on the road that probably didn't deserve to be. He spent a decade inside the Beltway covering Congress and the intricacies of the health care system before a stint in local New England news, picking up awards for both pen and camera.

He's written about you-name-it, from transportation and law and the courts to events of all kinds and telecommunications, and landed in trucking when he joined Fleet Owner in July 2015. Long an editorial leader, he's a keeper of knowledge at Fleet Owner ready to dive in on the technical and the topical inside and all around trucking—and still turns a wrench or two. Or three. 

And he's never without a camera, or so rumor has it.
