I'm sure Jack was referring to the local problem of heavy traffic here 
in Sevier County during the peak tourist season.  It's not uncommon for 
us to get deliveries late or have outbound shipments not picked up on 
time because trucks get slowed down coming down 66 from I-40.   Even the 
package carriers have been known to leave us hanging from time to time.

The "import" comment is about finding qualified staff.  Many of us who 
work here (including myself) came here from elsewhere to work for Ten-Tec.
