What qualifies for a pickup
A pickup makes sense when the wire is worth more than the trip. In practice that means at least one of the following: a reel of large conductor, several partial reels of building wire, a pallet of tagged stock, or a mixed load where the total is meaningful.
A single coil of #12 does not qualify. A shelf of eight partial reels across four sizes usually does.
How access changes the plan
Reels are heavy and awkward. A ground-level loading dock, a forklift and a wide gate make a load straightforward. A basement, a mezzanine, a gated community or a steep mountain driveway adds time and equipment, and that is why we ask about access before quoting rather than after.
If the material has to be carried up or down stairs, say so. It does not disqualify the load; it changes how it is handled.
What to have ready
- Reels consolidated where possible, so nothing has to be hunted down on arrival.
- A contact who will be on site, with a phone number that works that day.
- Gate codes, dock assignments and any site safety requirements.
- The reel tags, or photos of them, so the paperwork matches what is loaded.
Coverage across the state
We work statewide. Loads in the Charlotte metro, the Triangle and the Triad are routine; western mountain sites, the coastal counties and the northeast corner are scheduled around travel, which means a larger load or a combined pickup.
Distance is not a disqualifier. It is a factor in whether one reel or ten makes sense.

Send the details and we will price it
Type, size, footage and a photo of the tag. That is usually enough for a real number rather than a range.
