Corridors

How carriers move through South Carolina.

I-26I-85I-95I-20I-77I-385I-526

I-26 runs from Charleston through Columbia and Spartanburg toward Asheville. I-85 crosses the Upstate through Greenville and Spartanburg between Atlanta and Charlotte, and I-95 runs through Florence and the Lowcountry. I-20 links Columbia and Florence, I-77 runs north from Columbia through Rock Hill to Charlotte, and US-17 follows the coast.

Seasons and weather

The coast is in hurricane season from June through November. Summer beach traffic in Myrtle Beach and on Hilton Head Island can slow deliveries, and the Upstate sees occasional winter ice.

Why people ship cars in South Carolina

BMW's plant in Greer is the company's largest, and Volvo builds cars near Charleston, so the state ships a lot of new vehicles. Fort Jackson, Parris Island, MCAS Beaufort, Shaw AFB and Joint Base Charleston bring military moves, and the University of South Carolina and Clemson bring students. Many retirees settle in Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head.
