All the large carriers have resources in the atlanta/ nashville area . I live 3 hrs from atlanta and thats my home terminal. Not sure about raliegh.
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

I'm thinking about relocating before retirement. A few cities like Nashville, Atlanta, and Raleigh have been on my mind. Mostly just want a change of scenery and want to get farther away from the cold. Does anyone know of any reputable places down south? I'm familiar with Beacon Transport and M&W in Nashville - heard great things about both.
Any tips? Anyone live in these cities or worked in the area for a while? Thanks!
EPU:
Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
