What is the construction trucking season in North Carolina?

North Carolina's moderate climate supports 10-11 months of construction activity. The piedmont region works nearly year-round, with only occasional winter weather delays. Mountain regions in the west have a slightly shorter season due to snow and ice from December through February.
