Alabama
Car shipping to and from Alabama
I-65 runs down the middle of Alabama from the Tennessee line to the Gulf, and most of the cars we move in the state ride some part of it. We ship vehicles into, out of and across Alabama for dealers and for people moving one car.
- I-65, I-20 and I-85 corridors
- Open and enclosed trailers
- One point of contact from quote to drop-off
Shipping cars around Alabama
I-65 is the spine of the state. It passes Decatur, runs through Birmingham and Montgomery, and ends in Mobile. I-20 comes in from Atlanta and I-59 from Chattanooga, and the two meet in Birmingham, then head on toward Tuscaloosa and Mississippi. I-85 ends in Montgomery after crossing from Atlanta, and I-10 runs along the coast through Mobile.
Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile and Tuscaloosa all sit on one of those roads, so carriers pass through them constantly. Smaller towns off the interstates get served too. We tell you up front if a rural pickup needs a wider window while we match a truck.

- Sedans

From the Charlotte area to Alabama
Loads from the Charlotte area head down I-85 through the Upstate of South Carolina and Atlanta. From there a car either stays on I-85 into Montgomery or picks up I-20 west to Birmingham. The first half of that run is our Charlotte to Atlanta lane.
For Alabama dealers
Alabama stores trade units with dealers across the Southeast and buy at auctions in other states. We handle dealer trades, auction pickups, customer deliveries and store-to-store moves, one unit or several at once. If your usual hauler falls through on a Birmingham trade or a Mobile delivery, call us as the backup.
Send the VIN, both addresses and the release. You keep the same contact on every order, and the delivery BOL for each car shows up in the portal. The dealer desk page covers what we need from you.
For individuals shipping one car
People ship cars in and out of Alabama for new jobs at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, orders to Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, students starting at the University of Alabama or Auburn, and cars bought online from a seller out of state. We ship one car across the state or across the country.
Everyday cars ride on open trailers. Classic, exotic and high-value cars can go enclosed. If the car does not run, say so when you ask for a quote. It changes the equipment the carrier needs, and we will tell you plainly what we can arrange.
How an Alabama shipment works with FCT

- We vet the carrier. Every carrier is checked before it touches the car, and every shipment is fully insured.
- The windows are set. You get the pickup window, the expected delivery window, and the driver and truck before anything rolls.
- Follow it in the portal. Log in at fctorders.com with your email and a 6-digit code. You see the order, the driver's location while the driver is active, and the delivery BOL.

Alabama car shipping questions
Do you have an office in Alabama?
No. FCT is based near Charlotte, NC, and ships anywhere in the continental U.S. We arrange Alabama pickups and deliveries from there with vetted carriers.
Can you move a car from Huntsville to Mobile?
Yes. Moves inside Alabama are fine, and so are moves into and out of the state.
Can I ship a car to a student at the University of Alabama or Auburn?
Yes. Send the pickup address, the campus drop-off and a contact at each end, and we confirm the windows before the truck rolls.
What if my regular carrier cancels on an Alabama trade?
Call (980) 552-1101 with the VIN and both addresses. We work as a backup hauler for dealers when the usual carrier falls through.
