Strategic Advantages of the Corridor

Charlotte’s emergence as a national banking and logistics hub has fueled new demand for north-south freight capacity. This corridor connects coal and natural gas production areas to growing distribution centers throughout North and South Carolina, positioning it for long-term growth.

Elevation-Aware Routing

Freight efficiency matters in the mountains. MigWay uses elevation-aware routing to optimize each climb and descent, lowering fuel use and reducing mechanical stress. The result: lower costs per mile and higher on-time performance.
