Hauling in and out of Rocky Mount

Compiled from public sources and checked September 13, 2026. Conditions change; confirm closures and clearances before you roll.

Where the freight is

  • Pfizer's Rocky Mount plant has 1.4 million sq ft of manufacturing on 250 acres and makes about a quarter of the sterile injectables Pfizer supplies to US hospitals. [1][2]
  • A July 2023 tornado destroyed Pfizer's high-rise warehouse on the site. Most production lines were running again by September 2023. [2]
  • Cummins is putting $580 million into its Rocky Mount Engine Plant in Whitakers to add gasoline and propane engines, with the work expected to finish by 2027. [3]
  • Honeywell Aerospace makes aircraft fuel controls in Rocky Mount. [4]
  • Corning closed its distribution center across Alternate US-64 from Kingsboro Business Park on April 19, 2026, and Ryder took over the building. [5]
  • The former QVC distribution center, heavily damaged by fire in December 2021, was renovated and sold as a 1.2 million sq ft building. Its new use had not been announced. [6][7]

Industrial areas

  • Kingsboro Business Park in Edgecombe County is a CSX Select megasite on US-64, about 8 to 10 miles from the Carolina Connector. [9]
  • Triangle Tyre cancelled its planned Kingsboro tire plant in 2022, so there is no plant on that site. [8]
  • Nash County says the Carolina Connector is within 30 miles of more than 500 acres of county-owned industrial sites. [10]
  • Carolina Coastal Railway operates a transload facility in Rocky Mount. [13]

The CCX intermodal ramp

  • CSX's Carolina Connector (CCX) is a 330-acre intermodal terminal on the CSX main line, about 5 miles off I-95. It opened November 18, 2021. [9][10][11]
  • CCX runs three electric wide-span cranes and an automated gate that handles check-in and load inspection. [11]
  • A directory lists CCX at 5770 Old Battleboro Road, Battleboro. Published gate hours conflict between sources, so confirm with CSX before you dray. [12][9]
  • Carolina Coastal Railway serves Rocky Mount, Wilson and Greenville and connects with CSX and Norfolk Southern. [13][14]

Roads

  • I-95 exits through Nash County: 127 for NC-97, 132 for NC-58, 138 for US-64, 141 for NC-43 at Dortches, 145 for NC-4 and NC-48 at Gold Rock, and 150 for NC-33 toward Whitakers. [15]
  • NCDOT awarded a $7.5 million job in August 2026 to replace slabs and repair six bridges on 5.5 miles of I-95 between Sunset Avenue and Red Oak Battleboro Road. It runs about two years with overnight lane closures. [18]
  • No widening of I-95 north of Benson is scheduled. [19][16]
  • The Sunset Avenue, Eastern Avenue and North Old Carriage Road interchange projects around Nashville and Rocky Mount are finished. [17]
  • US-64 meets I-95 at Exit 138 and is signed as Future I-87 east of Zebulon. The upgrade to full interstate standards was left out of the 2026 to 2035 state project plan. [20][21]

Flooding

  • In Hurricane Floyd in 1999, the Tar River at the NC-97 bridge in Rocky Mount crested at 31.66 feet after 18 inches of rain. [22]
  • Hurricane Matthew in 2016 closed at least four sections of I-95 in North Carolina and forced the evacuation of Princeville. [23]

Truck parking and fuel

  • The Nash County rest areas on I-95 at mile marker 142, north of Dortches, have separate truck parking in both directions. [24]
  • The nearest big truck stops are at I-95 Exit 106 in Kenly, including Kenly 95 Petro at 923 Johnston Parkway, open 24 hours with a CAT scale and 12 fuel lanes. [25][26]
  • Oasis Travel Center at I-95 Exit 168 in Halifax is listed with 50 truck spaces. [27]
  • Stops inside Rocky Mount are small. The Fuel Doc at the US-64 exit is listed with 5 truck spaces and no overnight parking. [27]

Weigh stations

  • The Highway Patrol's Halifax County weigh station on I-95 has four fixed scales and sits about a mile north of Exit 150. [28][15]
  • There are no fixed weigh stations on US-64 or US-264. [28]

When volume changes

  • Nash and Wilson were the second and third biggest sweet potato counties in North Carolina in 2020, at 187 and 181 million pounds, behind Sampson. [29]
  • North Carolina supplies nearly 60 percent of US sweet potatoes. The new crop arrives in mid-fall, and cured potatoes ship all year. [30][31]
  • Nash County farms also grow corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, wheat and peanuts. [32]
