Those driving in Jefferson City on Monday evening may have noticed a large generator transport that delayed traffic in the area. In route to Greenville from Knoxville, the generator was expected to take more than eight hours to make the 42 mile trip from Forks of the River Industrial Park to Morristown. The motorcade spent the night in Morristown before finishing the final leg of the journey on Tuesday.
