How we run drayage in North Carolina
We work Port of Wilmington and the surrounding terminal complex on appointment systems daily. That means knowing which terminals run TIPS versus eModal versus Voyager, where chassis pools split, and how each ramp prioritizes return windows during congestion.
Major freight in North Carolina flows along I-85 and I-95 — corridors we route load planning around, not against. Drayage drops at Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro go out daily, and intermodal moves through CSX Charlotte are part of the same lane book.
