Freight That Moves When You Need It.
From scheduled regional freight to time-sensitive expedited loads, Blue Ridge Transportation provides dependable transportation throughout Appalachia and beyond.
Local Roots. Regional Reach. Moving What Matters.
Four Ways We Move Freight
Hotshot Freight
Time-sensitive equipment, machinery, building materials, and palletized freight moved directly with our pickup-and-trailer configuration. Direct transportation and flexible scheduling instead of terminal-to-terminal handling.
Box Truck Freight
Regional business-to-business transportation for retail replenishment, equipment, packaged goods, and any freight that needs protection from the weather.
Sprinter & Cargo Van Expedited
Our quickest option for urgent parts, smaller palletized shipments, and production materials — built for freight where speed matters more than trailer capacity.
Regional LTL & Partial Freight
Purchase only the capacity your shipment actually requires. A regional partial-load option built around our own equipment and lanes, not a national common-carrier network.
Need It There? We'll Keep It Moving.
Blue Ridge can provide dedicated transportation, where your shipment travels directly with our vehicle rather than moving through multiple terminals. It fits our hotshot and cargo van operations especially well — one load, one driver, straight through.
The Right Vehicle for the Load
Hotshot Truck + Trailer
Larger or irregular freight, equipment, and time-sensitive loads.
Box Truck
Enclosed palletized freight, commercial goods, and regional deliveries.
Cargo / Sprinter Van
Small expedited loads, parts, and high-priority shipments.
Available capacity, weight, and dimensions depend on the equipment assigned, its configuration, and applicable legal operating limits. We confirm the specifics for your shipment at the time of quoting.

Local Roots. Regional Reach. Moving What Matters.
Blue Ridge Transportation is strategically based in Johnson City, Tennessee, connecting the Appalachian region with major freight markets throughout the eastern United States.
Our Appalachian Service Corridor is built around the communities, businesses, manufacturers, distributors and logistics networks of Appalachia. Rather than treating Appalachia as simply a pass-through market, Blue Ridge Transportation uses Johnson City as the center of a regional transportation network designed to connect Appalachian communities with larger freight markets.
Our primary service network includes Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York, with additional service opportunities beyond our core corridor.
Strategic Regional Freight Hubs
Our Johnson City location provides access to several major regional freight markets that complement the Appalachian Service Corridor. These hubs create additional opportunities for inbound, outbound and connecting freight while helping Blue Ridge Transportation build efficient regional routes and reduce unnecessary empty miles.
