Car hauling in Asheville, NC.
Asheville is an hour north of us over the Saluda Grade — a five-mile, six-percent descent that is the single most demanding piece of road in our regular service area, and a good reason to hire a carrier whose drivers run it every week.

Yes. Prime Trans is an FMCSA-licensed motor carrier based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, about 68 miles from Asheville, NC, about 1 hour 10 minutes by road on I-26 over the Saluda Grade. A truck is in this market weekly.

Straight answers
Is the Saluda Grade a problem for a loaded car hauler?
It is the reason to care who you hire. It is a five-mile descent at about six percent with runaway ramps, and it is unforgiving of a truck that is over-loaded, badly balanced or driven by somebody seeing it for the first time. Our drivers run it weekly.
How long is Spartanburg to Asheville?
Sixty-eight miles, about an hour and ten minutes on I-26. Same-day round trip.
Do you serve Hendersonville and Brevard?
Yes, plus Fletcher, Arden, Mills River, Weaverville and Black Mountain.
Can you pick up at a mountain house with a steep drive?
Tell us before you book. A high-mount rig will not climb a gravel switchback, and a low pro sometimes can. Otherwise we meet you where a loaded truck can turn around. Send a photo of the access and we will tell you which.
