Strategic Location

CLT3 is positioned along Davidson Highway (NC-73) in Concord, Cabarrus County, close to Interstate 85 and within the greater Charlotte freight market. This corridor links the site quickly to Charlotte, Kannapolis and the wider I-85 spine toward Greensboro, Atlanta and the rest of the Southeast.

    • Clearly describe any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so CLT3 can plan appropriate labor and unloading equipment and avoid dock delays

    • Only use slip sheets where permitted by Amazon guidance and explicitly confirmed in your appointment notes; otherwise plan for standard palletized unloading
