Jacksonville to Greensboro Freight Corridor
Jacksonville is where the Southeast's freight arteries converge. As CSX's headquarters city and the junction of I-95 and I-10, Jax controls rail and truck freight flows between the entire Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf Coast. JAXPORT is the #1 vehicle-import port in the US, processing over 700,000 vehicles annually that Southeast Toyota and other distributors truck to dealerships across the Southeast. The city's geographic position makes it the ideal repositioning hub for carriers running Florida's north-south lanes.
Greensboro sits at the junction of I-40 and I-85 in the heart of North Carolina's Piedmont Triad, historically known as the furniture and textile capital of the South.

FedEx Ground's regional hub and Procter & Gamble's distribution center anchor the growing logistics sector.
