The run
What moves on this lane
Containers come off the ships at Port Newark-Elizabeth and get unloaded at transload warehouses nearby. Plenty of that import freight is headed for Carolina retailers.
The run takes I-95 south out of New Jersey, then I-85 into Charlotte.
The Northeast takes in more freight than it ships, so southbound loads are worth having. We run Charlotte to Newark as well, which makes a round trip.
