South · Scheduled contract freight

Pallets in South Carolina, 545 miles from our gate.

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

What ships here

South Carolina, in freight terms.

South Carolina has become one of the most heavily industrialised states in the Southeast in a short period. The I-85 corridor between Greenville and the North Carolina line holds automotive assembly, tyre plants and a dense tier-supplier network; Charleston runs one of the fastest-growing container ports on the east coast; and aerospace assembly around North Charleston adds a third, very different, packaging profile.

Automotive and tyre work runs returnable fleets on specific footprints. Aerospace ships engineered, documented, frequently crated. Port work generates inbound foreign footprints. Three genuinely different pallet markets inside one state.

We serve it on scheduled contract freight, which suits program volume and full loads rather than spot orders.

Questions

Buying pallets in South Carolina.

Do you deliver to South Carolina?

Served on scheduled contract carriers rather than our own trailers. Economic for full trailer loads and program volume; less so for small orders.

What is the minimum order into South Carolina?

A full trailer, roughly 330 units, for the freight to make sense. Below that, buy locally — you will be better off.

What footprints move most in South Carolina?

Automotive footprints and returnable fleet support, engineered crating for aerospace, remanufacturing of port footprints.

Can you quote a custom build here?

Yes, anywhere. Custom and engineered work is quoted from a drawing and shipped as project freight, and the distance economics are completely different from routine stock. See custom builds.
