Worth knowing in Charlotte
Charlotte's distribution parks along I-85 and I-77 serve the Southeast, and the region's motorsports industry, centred near Concord and Mooresville, ships parts and equipment in heavy and oddly shaped boxes. Textile and furniture firms north toward Hickory and Statesville still need large, light cartons. A single delivery can cover a mix of sizes for several buildings.
Banking headquarters dominate the skyline, but freight dominates the outskirts. Gastonia, Mooresville and Statesville add manufacturers of textiles, plastics and truck parts.
Interstates 77 and 85 cross in Charlotte, and the inland port at Greer, South Carolina, links the wider region to the Port of Charleston by rail.
We quote delivery to every ZIP in all 11 counties of the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia metro area, among them Anson, Cabarrus, Gaston and Iredell, not only the warehouse districts. The ZIPs with the most warehouses are 28273 Charlotte, 28269 Charlotte, 29730 Rock Hill, 28208 Charlotte and 28027 Concord, and the most warehousing jobs are in Mecklenburg, York and Rowan counties.
