How fast is Spartanburg to Charlotte?
Seventy-five miles, about an hour and fifteen minutes. Booked before noon, it delivers the same afternoon nearly every time.
Do you run Concord and Statesville on one trip?
Yes, and it is the normal way we build the run. A buyer with units at both auctions pays for one trip rather than two.
Can you add Rock Hill or Gastonia to a Charlotte run?
Yes, at marginal cost. Gastonia is on I-85 on the way in, and Rock Hill is a short run down I-77. Bundling stops is usually the difference between a rate that works and one that does not.
Is this a scheduled lane or on demand?
Both. A truck is on this corridor most days, and for regular volume it is worth putting on a dedicated agreement so the capacity is genuinely reserved.
