Car hauling in Charlotte, NC.
Charlotte is the biggest vehicle market within a ninety-minute drive of our yard. Manheim, ADESA, Copart and IAA all have sites in the city or in Concord, so for an Upstate car hauler it is close enough to be a day trip and big enough to fill the truck both ways.

Straight answers
How long is a Charlotte to Spartanburg car move?
Seventy-five miles, about an hour and fifteen minutes on I-85. Booked before noon it delivers the same afternoon.
Do you run Manheim Charlotte in Concord?
Regularly. Concord and Statesville are both on the same run for us, so a buyer with units at both can have them on one truck instead of paying twice.
Can you cover Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Gastonia on the same trip?
Yes. Gastonia is on I-85 on the way in, and Rock Hill and Fort Mill are a short run down I-77. Bundling stops on one run is usually the difference between a rate that works and one that does not.
Do you have North Carolina operating authority?
We are an FMCSA-licensed interstate carrier, MC 1575910 and USDOT 4120654, which covers interstate movement into and out of North Carolina.
