Up I-85 to the Triad
From Charlotte the truck runs northeast on I-85 past Concord and Kannapolis, through Salisbury, Lexington and Thomasville, and past High Point into Greensboro. The Triad is three cities close together, so a load can split between Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem without much extra driving. Burlington sits a little further east where I-85 and I-40 share the road.
Stores along the way in Concord and Salisbury can load or unload on the same trip, which helps when a trade has a stop in the middle.
Who sends cars between Charlotte and Greensboro
Dealers. This is a classic trade lane. A Charlotte store has the color a Greensboro buyer wants, or the other way around, and the swap goes on our truck instead of on a salesperson's afternoon. We can put both legs of the swap on one order. When your usual carrier falls through, we are the backup.
Students. The Triad has a lot of campuses: UNC Greensboro, NC A&T, High Point University, Wake Forest in Winston-Salem and Elon near Burlington. Families in the Charlotte area ship a car up at the start of the year and back at the end.
Everyone else. Job moves between the two metros, a car bought from a private seller in the Triad, or a car going to a relative.
From quote to drop-off on this lane
Tell us both addresses, the VIN or the year, make and model, and whether the car runs. A person on our desk prices it; nothing comes from a rate chart. We vet the carrier before pickup and confirm who the driver is and what truck is coming.
Before the truck heads up I-85 you have a pickup window and an expected delivery window. If anything moves, we call you first. Dealers and private customers both get portal access at fctorders.com: email plus a 6-digit code, every order in one list, the driver's location while they drive, and the delivery BOL for each car.
Trailer and condition
Most Triad loads go on an open trailer. Enclosed is available for exotic, classic and high-value units. Non-running cars can go too; the carrier just needs to know so they bring the right equipment.
Greensboro questions
Do you cover Winston-Salem and High Point on this lane?
Yes. Both are part of the Triad, a short way from Greensboro, and we deliver to all three.
Can a Concord or Salisbury store load a car on the way?
Often, yes. Both sit on I-85 between Charlotte and Greensboro. Tell us about the extra stop when you order.
Can both legs of a dealer swap go on one order?
Yes. Send both store addresses, a contact at each and every VIN, and we book it as one order.
Can you ship a car to a student at a Triad college?
Yes. Give us the campus or apartment address and a contact there, and we confirm the window before pickup.
