Appalachian Service Corridor
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.
