The west end of the Knoxville corridor
Farragut is a town in west Knox County, stretched along Kingston Pike and I-40/I-75 between Knoxville and the Loudon County line. It’s mostly neighborhoods and shopping, but the interstate beside it is anything but quiet. This is where I-75 traffic from Chattanooga and Atlanta joins I-40 traffic from Nashville and Memphis, and just west of town is Watt Road — Exit 369, one of the biggest truck stop clusters in East Tennessee.
At Watt Road, Petro, Flying J, and TA sit together, with hundreds of truck parking spaces between them. That means a lot of trucks parked overnight, a lot of morning pre-trips, and a lot of problems found at 5 a.m. — dead batteries, air leaks, lights out, and codes on the dash.
The Knox County scales
The Tennessee Highway Patrol runs a scale house on I-40/I-75 near mile marker 372, between Watt Road and Campbell Station Road, with scales for both directions. It’s a routine stop, but it’s also where brake adjustment, air leaks, lights, and tires get noticed. If a truck is placed out of service there, it can’t move until the defects are fixed. A mobile mechanic can often make those repairs on site so the truck can legally continue.
