Who we serve · manufacturers and 3PLs

Dedicated shuttles for the Upstate's plants.

Supplier-park to plant, Tier-1 to parts center, plant to Inland Port Greer, tire plant to distribution center. Van and step deck on a daily schedule with the driver home every night.

How the Upstate buys freight

Through the plant's lead logistics provider, the supplier's transportation manager, or a drayage 3PL.

  • BMW Spartanburg inbound runs through a lead logistics provider that manages truckload and less-than-truckload carriers into the plant and its logistics center; more than 1,300 trucks a day from a supplier base of 250-plus companies. Entry is that provider's carrier registration and control tower. [RMIS / Penske: registered / pending].
  • Tier-1 suppliers around the plant each keep their own carrier list and yearly bid for outbound to the plant and inbound material.
  • Tire, textile and consumer-goods plants in Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson counties move finished goods to regional distribution centers on repeatable lanes.
  • Inland Port Greer generates daily plant-to-ramp drayage tied to the overnight rail service to Charleston.
  • New builds: the Scout Motors plant and supplier park in Blythewood target 2027 production and will need construction freight before that and sequencing shuttles after.
What we offer a plant

A shuttle the dock can set its clock by.

Dedicated turns

Ten to twelve turns a day at twenty to forty miles, one driver, one trailer, a backup unit, and a standing rate per turn.

Drop trailers and power only

Trailer on your dock where the loading schedule needs it; we bring the power.

Step deck for changeovers

Tooling, fixtures and machinery between plant, integrator and rigger with securement-trained drivers and tarps.

Tracking your control tower accepts

ELD-linked tracking on every load, Trucker Tools or MacroPoint on request, daily status email.

Honest scope: we are a Spartanburg car hauler adding dedicated van and step-deck lanes close to home. We are not pitching to be a plant's primary carrier on day one. We are pitching one shuttle lane, run well for ninety days, then the next one.
