Vehicle transport and freight in Birmingham, AL.
Birmingham is the first big stop west on I-20, which is our road to Texas. Alabama is also assembly country — Mercedes at Vance, Honda at Lincoln, Mazda Toyota at Huntsville — so the freight and the vehicles both move.

Straight answers
Is Birmingham on a regular run?
Yes — it is the first major stop on the Carolinas to Texas lane, which departs three to four times a week.
How long is Spartanburg to Birmingham?
About three hundred and fifty-five miles and five and a half hours down I-85 and I-20.
Can you serve Vance, Lincoln and Huntsville?
Vance and Lincoln are directly on the corridor. Huntsville is a two-hour detour north, so it is priced as one.
Do you run Atlanta and Birmingham on the same trip?
Frequently. Atlanta is the midpoint, so a load can pick up at both.
