Local picture

What moves through Charleston.

The Kanawha valley chemical corridor runs on square drum footprints and segregated returns.

Charleston sits in Kanawha County, served by I-64, I-77, I-79 and US-119. The local freight base is chemicals, energy, state government, and that mix is what determines which pallet specification actually makes sense here rather than which one is cheapest on paper.

We run our own equipment into West Virginia, so a delivered quote to Charleston is a real number rather than a brokered guess. We run our own equipment into this state on a repeating weekly or biweekly pattern, which is what keeps the delivered price competitive.
