What the South Carolina corridor data shows
- Charleston is the most connected South Carolina metro in our model with 62 priced corridors, which is why most South Carolina searches resolve to one of its route pages.
- Charleston to Seattle models about 2.9× the midpoint of Charleston to Tampa; distance explains most of that gap and the market assumptions at each end explain the rest.
- 52% of the set runs 1,500 miles or longer, where the model prices weight hard and the delivery window widens into a spread of days.
- 24% of South Carolina corridors in our model are under 800 miles, where crew hours at both ends carry more of the total than mileage does.

Does the South Carolina city I move from change the price?

No. They are modelled estimates built from published tariff structures, our distance model and documented home-size weight profiles. A binding number requires a survey of your own inventory and addresses.
