Port-to-DC: Savannah and Charleston
When your inbound containers hit Savannah or Charleston, we coordinate with your dray partner or our drayage network, stage cargo at a cross-dock if needed, then move in dry vans to inland DCs across South Carolina. Advantages:
- One timeline from vessel availability to final delivery

We do not nickel and dime. If an accessorial is likely, we flag it early and plan to avoid it.
