You are certainly welcome to join
Like Norman says, you'll have to decide if the drive is worth it. We've got folks of all ages in the club, and have 3 LFS meetings that have extra value (extra discounts at those meetings). It's a great place to learn and help others. We have members in AL, KY, and CO. Teamreefers just came to their first meeting. They are fairly far away (south of Nashville maybe about 90 minutes or so), and they just came to their first meeting this last weekend. We don't have any current members from Cookeville. We do have several members from the East side of Nashville (Mt. Juliet, Hermitage).
