The trailer can be operated in Tennessee plus the eight states immediately adjoining it. Operation outside this area requires our written permission in advance. The trailer is GPS-monitored, and operation outside the allowed area without permission is a contractual violation that affects your liability protections.
The allowed states
Tennessee (TN)
Kentucky (KY)
Virginia (VA)
North Carolina (NC)
Georgia (GA)
Alabama (AL)
Mississippi (MS)
Arkansas (AR)
Missouri (MO)
That's a roughly 500-mile radius from our pickup location — plenty for most jobs, road trips, and out-of-state moves within the Southeast.
Why we limit operation
Three reasons:
Insurance. Our commercial policies are written for operation in our home state and the surrounding region. Operating outside that area can affect coverage if something goes wrong.
Registration. The trailer's registration is current for Tennessee operation; some states require non-resident commercial trailer permits for extended operation.
Recovery. If the trailer needs to be recovered (mechanical failure, theft, late return), being within a half-day drive of our home base makes that practical. From 2,000 miles away, much less so.
If you need to go outside the allowed area
Message us in chat before you go, with:
The states you'd be operating in
The dates and duration
The purpose (move, job, etc.)
We may approve it case-by-case if the trip is short, the route is reasonable, and we can confirm coverage and recovery options for the area you're going to. We don't approve everything, but we'll give you a straight answer quickly.
What happens if you go without permission
The trailer's GPS reports its location periodically. If we see operation outside the allowed area without prior approval:
It's a material violation of the Rental Agreement (§ 13)
It can void any limitation of liability that would otherwise protect you in a damage or accident scenario
We may require immediate return
Damage or loss occurring outside the allowed area without permission is fully your responsibility
The geographic limit isn't paperwork — it's a real boundary tied to insurance and operational realities. If your job needs the trailer further than that allows, ask us first.
Full terms in your Rental Agreement
Geographic limits are in § 13 (Use of Trailer); monitoring is described in § 23 (Monitoring) of your Rental Agreement.
