Straight answers
Do you cover the Hyundai Metaplant area?
Ellabell and Pooler are on the run. Plant work is awarded on a lane basis, so tell us the volume and the schedule and we will quote against it rather than guess.
How long is Spartanburg to Savannah?
About two hundred and sixty miles and four hours, either down I-26 to I-95 or across on US-321 to I-16, depending on stops.
Can you combine Charleston and Savannah on one trip?
Yes, and it is usually the right way to buy it. They are two hours apart on I-95 and a truck running both fills up.
Do you serve Pooler, Rincon, Statesboro and Hilton Head?
All of them, on the same coastal run.
