I-65 northbound through Fultondale into downtown Birmingham hits commuter-volume traffic during morning rush. A breakdown in the right-lane reduces capacity dramatically and triggers Alabama Trooper coordination for safe-zone pullout. Our dispatchers handle the trooper handshake while the service unit rolls.
Fultondale sits at Interstate 65 Exit 266 on the north Birmingham approach, the truck-stop and distribution-center cluster between Birmingham and Cullman.

Walmart Distribution Center operations in the area generate substantial outbound retail freight, and the surrounding Jefferson County industrial belt absorbs heavy contract carrier traffic.
