Who Takes This Route

  • University of Tennessee faculty, staff, and student households
  • Job moves toward Oak Ridge and the Knoxville tech corridor
  • Families relocating to Farragut and the west-side suburbs
  • Cross-state moves under our US DOT and MC authority

Route At A Glance

Route detail What to expect
Distance Roughly 115 miles
Main corridor I-40 west through the Pigeon River Gorge
Drive time About 1 hour 50 minutes
Delivery Same day for most homes

The Pigeon River Gorge sees rockslides and weather closures, so we check I-40’s status the morning of your move and route around any delay before we set out west.

What to expect on this route · ~115 mi

One crew and one truck the whole way, GPS-tracked door to door, on a single binding written rate. We name a delivery day and hit it — nobody else ever touches your load, and the price we wrote down is the price you pay.

Local know-how

Why Candler Families Choose Our Crew

Snow that blows in off the ridgeline, gravel cove lanes and steep switchback drives, and a county that runs from downtown Asheville lofts to mountainside acreage — we’ve worked through all of it, so nothing on your day catches us off guard.

We watch the forecast for you

When winter storms and icy grades roll into the mountains, we plan the load around the weather window and keep you posted the whole day.

Mud and grit stay outside

Runners and boot covers go down first, so a muddy Buncombe County cove lane never tracks onto your new floors.

Stairs and tight buildings

Second- and third-floor apartments around downtown Asheville and near UNC Asheville are just another day for our movers.

Cottages to mountainside estates

New builds up in Fairview and Fletcher or a long gravel drive out toward Leicester — we bring the right truck for the address.

Cold and steep grades won’t stop us

Freezing mornings and long uphill carries are routine — we pace the load and keep everything padded and wrapped tight.

Storage in between

Dates not lining up? Your load waits safe in our secured Candler warehouse until the new place is ready for it.

Questions about this route

Is a Knoxville move an out-of-state job?
It is, and we handle it in-house under our own US DOT and MC authority. There is no broker and no handoff at the Tennessee line, just our crew the whole way.
What if the gorge is closed on my move day?
We check I-40's status through the Pigeon River Gorge that morning and, if a slide or closure hits, take the posted detour so your delivery still lands on schedule.
Do you move families near the University of Tennessee?
Regularly. Faculty, staff, and student moves fill much of this lane, and we time the schedule around your start or lease date.
Is my Knoxville price locked before the move?
Yes. You approve one written flat rate ahead of time, so the 115-mile run west adds no end-of-day charges.
