Trucking in Greensboro, NC

Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad occupy a unique position in the trucking industry because Volvo Trucks North America chose to place its headquarters here. This means the trucks that millions of American drivers operate are designed, tested, and many are assembled in this region — creating an ecosystem of truck dealers, parts suppliers, and technical services. FedEx's major hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport adds air-to-ground freight transfer operations that employ hundreds of drivers. High Point's furniture industry, while transformed from manufacturing to showroom and distribution, still generates enormous freight volumes during the biannual High Point Market — the world's largest home furnishings industry trade show. The I-85 corridor through the Triad connects to Charlotte, Richmond, and Atlanta, making it one of the most heavily traveled freight routes in the Southeast. Honda Aircraft builds its HondaJet in Greensboro, adding niche aerospace freight. The Triad's cost of living is significantly below the national average, making it a financially smart base for drivers who work the mid-Atlantic region.
