Tarboro is a city in as well as the county seat of Edgecombe County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is currently home to a population of over 13,100 residents and is a part of the Rocky Point, North Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area, one of the main metro areas in the state. Founding of the city dates back to 1760; growth was attributed to its location at the head of the Tar River, making it a fairly important inland river port in the region. Over time the reliance on river traffic lessened, which meant slower growth for the city. Today, however, Tarboro is known for its tourism and small businesses and in particular its historic district.

Auto Shipping to Tarboro Tips and Tricks
Auto shipping to Tarboro is made easier by the fact that it sits relatively close to both Rocky Point and Raleigh, though definitely closer to the former than the latter. Ease of access to a given area really helps when it comes to finding a carrier and getting a good price, which is good news if you’re shipping to or from Tarboro since it sits right along a U.S. highway and a state highway, which are both easily accessible via I-95, one of the main interstate highways in the U.S. At the same time, it doesn’t sit along the interstate directly, which means a carrier may have to go out of their way, which could end up costing more money. You can mitigate this by possibly moving your pickup or delivery location to Rocky Point, or even Raleigh which is a bit further. This lets carriers stick to their routes and to major cities, which can help reduce your total cost and also reduce transit times.
