Finley, Ohio-based owner-operator Scott Grenerth, 40, I met in Nashville the day I ran with Jazzy Jordan (she’s nearing Statesville, N.C., now — go go go!).
From the downtown TA (closer) or from the Pilot at the Trinity Lane exit on I-65 (a little farther), for a driver laid over and with a bike in the rig, it’s just a few miles’ ride to the trailhead. Two weeks later Grenerth was back in Nashville and parked his 2002 International Eagle down at the TA and rode up to my place — we ventured out to the Greenway from there. On a break, I interviewed the former naturalist (did you know that Redbud flowers are edible and taste quite good, like young spinach?) about his now 9-year trucking career, his move to owner-operator status a year and a half ago, and more. Enjoy the resulting vid below — he’s got good things to say about operating efficiently, and his story is a unique one. Keep an eye on Truckers News‘ print edition and this blog for more about his www.truckercycler.com site in the coming weeks.
