About Calhoun
What moves through Calhoun.
Calhoun sits on I-75 in Gordon County, about 70 miles north of Atlanta, and it's one of the anchor towns of the carpet and flooring industry that stretches down from Dalton. Mohawk Industries, one of the largest flooring producers in the world, is headquartered right here on South Industrial Blvd, and Shaw Industries runs several plants in town as well. That concentration of flooring manufacturing means a steady flow of raw material inbound and finished product outbound, most of it moving on trailers.
The freight here has a particular shape: bulk fiber, backing, and other raw inputs coming in, and pallets of carpet, laminate, and vinyl flooring going back out to distributors nationwide. Plants along McDaniel Station Road and US Highway 41 run tight production schedules, and a trailer sitting idle at a dock because a truck didn't show is a real cost. Whether you're a manufacturer that needs extra trailers during a production push or a carrier serving one of these plants on a regular lane, having equipment staged locally in Calhoun instead of dispatched from Atlanta traffic saves hours.
Where It Matters
Distribution & industrial areas in Calhoun.
Gordon County Industrial Park (McDaniel Station Road)
A roughly 200-acre industrial park developed by the Gordon County Development Authority with direct access to I-75, home to Engineered Floors' carpet and yarn manufacturing complex.
Mohawk Industries campus (South Industrial Blvd)
Mohawk's Calhoun operations include its corporate headquarters plus manufacturing and warehousing facilities, following a consolidation of distribution operations into a single Calhoun distribution center.
US Highway 41 / I-75 corridor
The stretch of US 41 near I-75 exits 315-317 has drawn new flooring manufacturing investment, including Creative Flooring Solutions' 252,000-square-foot laminate, wood, and LVT plant at 3576 US Highway 41.

Flatbed Rentals in Calhoun →Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Trailer Rentals in Calhoun, Answered.
Do you have flatbeds for hauling flooring raw materials in and out of Calhoun plants?
Yes. Calhoun's carpet and flooring manufacturers move a mix of bulk fiber, backing material, and palletized finished flooring, so we keep both dry van and flatbed trailers available for rental or lease to match whatever a given run requires.
Can I get a trailer staged near I-75 in Calhoun instead of waiting on one from Atlanta?
Yes. We place rental and lease trailers directly in the Calhoun area along the I-75 and US 41 corridor, so manufacturers and carriers serving local plants don't have to wait on equipment dispatched down from Atlanta.
Can I get a dry van trailer for hauling finished flooring pallets out of Calhoun?
Yes. Palletized carpet, laminate, and vinyl flooring headed out to distributors is a steady part of Calhoun's freight, and we keep dry van trailers available for rental or lease to move it.
Do you serve carriers working Engineered Floors at Gordon County Industrial Park?
Yes. We place trailers with carriers and manufacturers operating out of the Gordon County Industrial Park off McDaniel Station Road, including production-push rentals during heavy manufacturing weeks.
Can I rent extra trailers for a short-term production surge at a Calhoun flooring plant?
Yes. Manufacturers running a production push at plants like Mohawk's or Shaw's sometimes need extra trailers on hand for a few weeks at a time, and we offer that as a straightforward rental rather than requiring a long-term commitment.
I'm a smaller carrier hauling for a Calhoun flooring manufacturer — can I still get a trailer without a big fleet?
Yes. We work with providers who look past fleet size and time in business, which matters for smaller carriers and owner-operators running lanes in and out of Calhoun's flooring plants.
Do you lease trailers for a standing route between a Calhoun plant and an out-of-state distributor?
Yes. A carrier or manufacturer running the same outbound flooring lane regularly is usually better off leasing a dedicated trailer than rebooking a rental every trip. Submit a request and we'll get you real lease terms.
Can you get a trailer to a plant near US Highway 41 in Calhoun quickly?
Turnaround depends on what's staged locally at the time, but keeping equipment in the Calhoun area along I-75 and US 41 means we're not dispatching from Atlanta traffic. Submit a request and we'll tell you real availability.
