What ships here
North Carolina, in freight terms.
North Carolina's freight spine is I-85 running from Charlotte through Greensboro to the Virginia line, and it carries a very large share of Southeast distribution. Charlotte in particular has become one of the country's major inland logistics markets.
The furniture cluster around High Point and Hickory is unusual and worth knowing about: furniture ships on large, flat, appearance-sensitive platforms and generates a great deal of odd-size expendable stock, which flows back into the recycling market in a distinctive mix.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing in the Research Triangle is the segment where specification travels furthest, and it is the work we quote most often at this distance.

Questions
Buying pallets in North Carolina.
Do you deliver to North Carolina?
Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.
What is the minimum order into North Carolina?
A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.
What footprints move most in North Carolina?
Large flat platforms for furniture, documented builds for pharmaceutical work, 48×40 GMA for I-85 distribution.
Can you quote a custom build here?
Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
