Family-owned NLE hauls dry-van freight for recycling, plastics, and manufacturing customers across TN, VA, KY, NC, and the Southeast. Real dispatchers. Real trucks. Real rates.
We're small enough to answer the phone, big enough to run on time. Every load is tracked from yard to dock with timestamped pickup, transit, and delivery — so you always know where your freight is.
Pick up the phone any business day, get a real dispatcher who knows your lane. No call trees, no offshore brokers.
NLE owns its tractors and runs its own drivers. Your freight isn't getting double-brokered to whoever bid lowest on a load board.
Pickup time, transit, drop-off, and signed BOL — all timestamped. Dispatchers and warehouses get notified the moment status changes.
Daily pre-trip and post-trip DVIRs. PM scheduling. IFTA-tracked fuel. Insurance always current. We pass DOT inspections, not just survive them.
Per-mile or hourly. Detention rules disclosed up-front. No fuel surcharge games. You'll know your rate before the truck rolls.
NLE's roots are in scrap and plastic recycling. We know how to handle dirty loads, baled material, gaylords, and tight dock windows — without damaging the trailer.
Mostly Class-8 dry-van freight, with a focus on recycling and manufacturing customers in the Tennessee Valley.
Baled cardboard, plastic, paper, ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Yard-to-mill, processor-to-broker, regional shuttle.
Regrind, gaylords, super sacks, palletized resin from converters to processors.
Palletized goods, packaging, general manufacturing. 53' van.
Tell us about your load — we'll send you a real rate within one business day.
