South Carolina works the port at Charleston and the upstate. Charleston carries roll-on/roll-off cargo and petroleum, with another roll-on/roll-off berth at North Charleston.
A Volvo day cab off a Charleston berth, a Peterbilt sleeper out of Spartanburg, a Mack mixer near Harleyville or a GMC dually out of Columbia all go through the same steps: photos and the details come to us, we send an offer, and if you're happy we can come to you, buy it remotely, or you can drive it in.
South Carolina’s trucking industry is home to the Port of Charleston — one of the fastest-growing ports on the East Coast — and a major automotive manufacturing hub.

A general tolerance that lands on the gross, not the axle
The statute is specific. S.C. Code § 56-5-4140 sets a single axle at 20,000 pounds and two axles four to seven feet apart at 35,200, both written as including all enforcement tolerances, with 80,000 pounds gross on the interstate. § 56-5-4160 carries a general ten per cent enforcement tolerance applying to those limits. Because the axle numbers already include tolerance, the relief attaches to the gross and not to the axle, so a stone hauler over 20,000 pounds on a single axle is over the number as printed. Unprocessed forest products draw fifteen per cent instead, on non-interstate routes only; stone does not. The axle-spacing relief in the same section covers dump trucks, dump trailers, trucks carrying agricultural products, concrete mixing trucks, fuel oil trucks and line trucks, at 20,000 pounds per axle plus scale tolerances.
