Moving to or from South Carolina
New York, New Jersey and Ohio are the biggest feeders. Charlotte and Atlanta run regional both directions.
Charleston’s historic peninsula has narrow one-way streets and height restrictions under live oaks that rule out a full-size trailer, so a shuttle is common there.
Whether the job stays inside South Carolina or crosses state lines, the same company handles it end to end. United Relocation is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier — we are not passing your shipment to whichever crew happens to bid on it.
