  • Healthcare moves into the Ballad Health system
  • Families relocating across the Tri-Cities region
  • Interstate moves handled under our own authority

Route At A Glance

Route detail What to expect
Distance Roughly 70 miles
Main corridor I-26 north over Sam’s Gap
Drive time About 1 hour 20 minutes
Delivery Same day

Sam’s Gap climbs high on the state line and catches early ice, so on cold-weather moves we time the crossing for the clear midday hours before the pass turns slick.

What to expect on this route · ~70 mi

One crew and one truck the whole way, GPS-tracked door to door, on a single binding written rate. We name a delivery day and hit it — nobody else ever touches your load, and the price we wrote down is the price you pay.

Local know-how

Why Candler Families Choose Our Crew

Snow that blows in off the ridgeline, gravel cove lanes and steep switchback drives, and a county that runs from downtown Asheville lofts to mountainside acreage — we’ve worked through all of it, so nothing on your day catches us off guard.

We watch the forecast for you

When winter storms and icy grades roll into the mountains, we plan the load around the weather window and keep you posted the whole day.

Mud and grit stay outside

Runners and boot covers go down first, so a muddy Buncombe County cove lane never tracks onto your new floors.

Stairs and tight buildings

Second- and third-floor apartments around downtown Asheville and near UNC Asheville are just another day for our movers.

Cottages to mountainside estates

New builds up in Fairview and Fletcher or a long gravel drive out toward Leicester — we bring the right truck for the address.

Cold and steep grades won’t stop us

Freezing mornings and long uphill carries are routine — we pace the load and keep everything padded and wrapped tight.

Storage in between

Dates not lining up? Your load waits safe in our secured Candler warehouse until the new place is ready for it.

Questions about this route

Is Johnson City an interstate move?
It is, over the Tennessee line, and we run it under our own US DOT and MC authority in-house. No broker touches your goods on the way to the Tri-Cities.
Does Sam's Gap cause trouble in winter?
It can, since the gap ices early up on the state line. We schedule the crossing for the warmer midday window so the truck runs a clear, safe road.
Do you move students and staff at ETSU?
We do. University and healthcare moves fill much of this lane, and we build the schedule around your lease or start date.
How long does the drive to Johnson City take?
About an hour and twenty up I-26 over Sam's Gap, which keeps most Johnson City moves an easy same-day job.
