Knoxville for Business
Knoxville’s economy is sometimes described as ‘recession proof’. That’s a pretty hefty title to give to a city with a population of under 200,000, but its resilience during the last recession has earned it that right. This wasn’t a stroke of luck by any means. Knoxville is great for business because:
- Diverse economy- Knoxville is able to maintain a stable economy because of its diversity. It should be noted that no one sector makes up more than 22% of the city’s total employment, an indication of how inclusive and varied Knoxville’s economy really is.
- Major corporations- Several major corporations call Knoxville home, providing employment and new business opportunities in the area. Some of these corporations include Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the largest public power provider in the country, Coca-Cola, Regal Cinemas, Bush Brothers, Pilot Flying J, and the H.T Hackney Company.
- Location- The city is about a day’s drive from ¾ of the country’s population thanks to major highways and interstates and even closer by plane. Manufacturing companies in particular enjoy the strategic location and proximity to major markets. Tourism is also able to thrive in the city thanks to this.
- Tax-friendly- Tennessee is considered one of the most tax-friendly states in the U.S. There’s no individual income tax and none for retirees which means more disposable income in the hands of your customers and clients.
- High-quality workforce- Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee (UT), a public research institution credited for conducting cutting-edge research. UT, along with 13 other centers and laboratories make up what is known as the Tennessee Technology Corridor. Other universities and colleges in the city pump out thousands of highly-educated employees to meet the demand of the diverse economy.

By now, you should’ve already finalized all the paperwork and are in the beginning stages of planning the physical aspect of the move. This is when you should start getting quotes for the moving services you want.
Since no two moves are the same, local movers use several factors to generate moving quotes suitable for the services provided. Usually, these factors are the distance/mileage between your location and destination, the timing of the move in relation to current demand for the moving services, the weight/number of items in the move, and more. Additional fees are added for additional services. Note, these are not the same as hidden fees, and you shouldn’t be expected to pay more for long-distance moving services after you’ve already gotten your final quote.

Prohibited and Restricted Items
Before you pack those boxes, pay close attention to the things your movers won’t be able to transport. Some of these items are prohibited by law, others are simply restricted. Consult your movers if you’re unsure about anything.
Hazardous items
Anything flammable or unstable is a no-no. These items pose a direct risk to the moving crew and must be transported under special conditions. Some examples include:
- Oxygen tanks
- Batteries
- Fertilizers
- Paints
- Chemistry sets
- Nail polish and nail polish remover
Perishables
Food items that need to be refrigerated or have a short shelf life may be restricted. They aren’t prohibited by law and depend on the moving company, and may include:
- Frozen foods
- Eggs and dairy
- Opened canned food
- Meat and fish
Alcohol is non-perishable, however, the amount one can transport across state lines for personal use is restricted. Trying to sneak any amount of alcohol into boxes is generally a bad idea. Consult your movers.
High-value or irreplaceable items
While movers do their best to take care of your items, many prefer to avoid high-value or irreplaceable items altogether. These include items like family heirlooms, collectibles, fine art, expensive jewelry, and money.
Firearms and ammunition
Movers aren’t allowed to transport firearms and ammunition, especially across state lines. The laws surrounding this vary from state to state. Consult a federally licensed firearm dealer.
Plants
The transport of plants is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and plant health agencies to prevent the spread of pests and plant diseases. Many customers end up selling their plants or gifting them to friends and family.
Pets
No, your movers won’t move your pets. Moving trucks aren’t equipped for safe or comfortable transport, not even “contained” animals like hamsters, snakes, or birds.
