Vehicle transport and freight in Charlotte, NC.
Charlotte is the biggest vehicle market within a ninety-minute drive of our yard, and the auction cluster north-east of the city is one of the busiest in the South. For an Upstate carrier it is close enough to be a day trip and big enough to fill the truck both ways.

Straight answers
How long is a Charlotte to Spartanburg car move?
Seventy-five miles, about an hour and fifteen minutes on I-85. Booked before noon it delivers the same afternoon.
Do you run Manheim Charlotte in Concord?
Regularly. Concord and Statesville are both on the same run for us, so a buyer with units at both can have them on one truck instead of paying twice.
Can you cover Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Gastonia on the same trip?
Yes — they are all on the way. Bundling stops on one run is usually the difference between a rate that works and one that does not.
Do you have North Carolina operating authority?
We are an FMCSA-licensed interstate carrier, MC 1575910 and USDOT 4120654, which covers interstate movement into and out of North Carolina.
