Brookneal is a town, not a city, located in Campbell County, in the U.S. state of Virginia. It is currently home to a population of over 1,100 total residents and is a part of the Lynchburg, Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area. Founded in 1802, Brookneal quickly grew into a regional commercial hub despite being the smallest incorporated town in all of Virginia. Railroads brought new residents and also new connections to other markets, which helped increase Brookneal’s economic diversity and also attracted new residents to the area. Textile mills came in the late 19th century, and despite its small size the town is still chugging along, even with the economic downturn that stemmed from the dissolution of the Virginia Tobacco Co-Op, one of the oldest businesses in the region.

Auto Transport to Brookneal Tips and Tricks
Brookneal, sadly, is little more than a dot on the map, and it can be difficult for many carrier companies to justify running routes into or out of teh town. Auto shippers want to stick close to routes that take them through big cities or metropolitan areas. The Lynchburg metro area is fairly large and does attract some business, but Brookneal sits a good 20-30 miles away, due south, away from other big cities or metro areas. This can cause delays and also raise prices, since carriers have to travel off their pre-established routes in order to get into or out of Brookneal. This does not mean it’ll be impossible to find a shipper willing to run the route, only that it may take a bit more time and cost a bit more money than shipping to or from Lynchburg. Talk to an agent about ways to save money or time, if you need it, on your services for auto transport to Brookneal.
