My fiance' works for GCR Tire Corp which is Bridgestone Tire Company. They are closing a corporate office here Austin in May and transferring people in her office to Tennessee.

Definitely a good company to work for even though this was a tough year for them number wise.. Good luck!!

They produce the steel cord for tires at this particular facility. Mostly loading and unloading spools of steel cord on several different machines throughout the stretching process. The cord starts out around 8 or 10 mm then as it goes through the different die's it gets reduced to the thickness of hair. Looked like alot of constant repetitious movements from what I could see during my tour. Hope my nearly 44 year old ass is up for this LOL.

Nah not the arena, although I've been there a few times myself, mainly concerts though yet to see a hockey game. This is a manufacturing facility just up the road in Clarksville.

Thanks guys;-). It not official just yet as there are several steps to their hiring process but I've gotten past the initial exam from the local employment agency and I did my interview today, guess I did well enough I was told to be back tomorrow morning to take their own company exam. Still would have to take a physical, drug screening and upto 14 weeks training before its official but its looking pretty promising at this point:beer:.
