The Southeast's crossroads
The I-85 corridor from Atlanta through Charlotte to the Research Triangle is regional freight's main street in the Southeast, dense with plants, DCs, and the regional fleets that connect them on home weekly schedules. Rail intermodal service links Charlotte inland to the port at Charleston, feeding drayage and dry van work without the coastal commute.
Manufacturing gives the market its texture: textiles' successors, machinery, and building products move on flatbeds and vans across the Piedmont daily.
