YK Freight delivers power-only trucking services across South Carolina, connecting Charleston Port, Inland Port Greer, and major inland markets like Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg.
We specialize in drop & hook freight, trailer repositioning, and dedicated tractor capacity for importers, 3PLs, and regional carriers.
What Is Power-Only Trucking
Power-only trucking means YK Freight supplies the tractor and driver, while the shipper provides the trailer or container — ideal for:
- Trailer pool and drop programs
- Yard-to-yard or port-to-DC moves
- Intermodal dray-outs (Charleston / Greer)
- Statewide or interstate repositioning
- Dedicated weekly capacity
All tractors are ELD-tracked, insured, and monitored by dispatch for real-time visibility.
Coverage Across South Carolina
Our statewide network supports:
- Port of Charleston (SCSPA terminals): Wando Welch, North Charleston, Leatherman
- Inland Port Greer (NS rail): Upstate imports & exports
- Columbia & Lexington: central logistics corridor
- Greenville / Spartanburg: major inland DC and manufacturing zones
- Florence / Sumter: eastern distribution markets
We also support Savannah → South Carolina and Charleston ↔ Greer repositioning corridors for import/export freight through our South Carolina drayage network.
