About Kept Companies

When a winter storm reaches this stretch of Middle Tennessee it tends to come overnight, and it tends to come as ice as much as snow. Kept Companies is out in the dark hours ahead of it around White House — plowing lots, opening drive lanes, shoveling entries and walks, spreading salt before the first shift arrives. There is a quiet pride in the moment just before daylight, when the pavement is black and wet, the walkway is clear underfoot, and nobody who parks there will ever know what the last four hours looked like. That is the point of the job: doors open, business as usual, nothing to talk about. Around White House, Millersville and Portland, when the freezing rain starts, the trucks roll.
