What moves through South Carolina
Manufacturing defines the state's outbound freight. Automotive assembly, tire production, aerospace and advanced manufacturing operate across the Upstate and the Midlands, shipping finished goods and components in serious volume, much of it destined for export through Charleston. The inbound side brings components, raw materials and the import inventory that supplies both plants and regional distribution.
Beyond the plants, the state ships forest products and building materials, agriculture from the coastal plain and food processing output, while distribution has grown along the corridors to serve a fast-growing population.
The corridors that carry it
I-85 runs the Piedmont industrial corridor through the Upstate toward Charlotte and Atlanta, I-26 connects Columbia and the Upstate to Charleston, I-95 carries coastal north-south traffic and I-77 links Columbia to Charlotte. The plant-to-port geometry along I-26 is the state's defining freight relationship.
