How freight moves through Asheville
Asheville is the freight gateway to the western North Carolina mountains, where I-40 and I-26 cross and winter weather can slow mountain grades. Freight trucks serve Asheville on I-40, I-26 and I-240. Most of what ships from here comes from tourism and hospitality, brewing and food production, healthcare and advanced manufacturing.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in North Carolina
- Seasonal conditions
NCDOT permit rules bar oversize moves when visibility is under 500 feet or the highway is covered with snow or ice.
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and flooding from hurricanes can close coastal-plain routes such as I-40 and I-95.
Winter snow and ice affect I-40 and I-26 in the western mountains around Asheville.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
