Spartanburg County grew 16.1% since 2020 and runs on a manufacturing cadence that never really stops. We install GPS, cameras and Geotab telematics at your yard for the supplier, logistics and service fleets working the I-85 and I-26 corridor — on your shift schedule, not ours.
Manufacturing is 36,427 jobs here — roughly 24% of all county employment and the largest sector by a wide margin, at an average wage of $74,984. County transportation and warehousing revenue reached $1.7 billion in 2022. Since 2021 the county has landed 80 economic development projects representing $5.1 billion in capital investment and 5,787 new jobs, and it carries the highest per-capita foreign investment of any county in South Carolina.
BMW Plant Spartanburg in Greer is the anchor. It assembled 412,799 vehicles in 2025 — roughly 1,500 a day — with over 12,000 employees and approximately $16 billion invested in South Carolina since 1992. It was the largest US automotive exporter by value in 2025 at around $9 billion, with about half of output going to some 120 markets, primarily through the Port of Charleston plus more than 14,000 vehicles exported by rail. A recently completed $1.7 billion investment added the Plant Woodruff high-voltage battery assembly facility, and Spartanburg will be the first BMW plant globally to run one model with five drivetrain options on a single line.
That single plant generates an enormous supplier logistics layer. Add Michelin North America, adidas America, Toray Carbon Fibers, Magna and Dräxlmaier, plus Spartanburg Regional Medical Center and Ingles Markets, and the local fleet base is dominated by inbound parts runs, finished-vehicle movement and plant support.
Inland Port Greer sits at the center of it — 40 acres, 212 miles inland from Charleston, 205,523 rail moves in FY2025, 24/7 gates, 11-minute average truck turns, and overnight Norfolk Southern service six days a week. A $55 million expansion lifted capacity to 300,000 annual moves.
We install every major platform, scheduled against continuous plant and terminal operations rather than business hours.
GPS on supplier tractors, yard equipment, finished-vehicle haulers and service fleets.
Dash and backup cameras for plant dock and yard operations where maneuvering incidents are the primary exposure.

BMW turns out roughly 1,500 vehicles a day across shifts with 12,000-plus employees. Inland Port Greer runs 24/7 gates targeting 11-minute truck turns. Neither has a convenient window where vehicles sit idle.
That shapes how we work in this county. We schedule around shift changes and terminal slack rather than assuming a standard workday, and we do smaller batches more often rather than pulling a large block of equipment at once. If your fleet feeds a production line, the install schedule has to respect the line — tell us the delivery windows up front.
For a supplier fleet, a two-hour vehicle outage isn't a two-hour problem if it lands in the wrong window. We would rather do six vehicles a day for a week than twenty in two days and put a delivery at risk. That's a real conversation to have before we quote, not after.
Spartanburg sits where I-85 and I-26 meet — 90 minutes to Charlotte, two and a half hours to Atlanta. SCDOT's 2026 I-85 Corridor Study covers 35 miles and 18 interchanges across Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg, with SC Ports and GSP as partners, while the mile-marker 77 to 98 widening has been deferred to 2030. Baseline route data captured now will be worth having when construction eventually starts.
GSP International's cargo facility spans 110,000 square feet on a 17-acre apron sized for three Boeing 747 freighters at once, with Senator International running regular service to Germany. Supplier fleets touching air freight work this facility, not just the passenger terminal.
South Carolina requires no safety or emissions inspection. The statewide 10-minute limit on commercial diesel idling at 10,001 lbs GVWR and above applies here, at $75 per offense, with exceptions for traffic, HVAC, maintenance, rest and loading queues.
We cover Spartanburg County and the surrounding I-85 corridor:
…across Spartanburg and Cherokee counties, including the Inland Port Greer and plant corridor.
Yes, and in Spartanburg we usually have to. Plants and the inland port run continuously, so we schedule against shift changes and terminal slack windows rather than a standard workday. Tell us your pattern before we quote and the schedule will be realistic.
Smaller daily batches over more days. We would rather do six units a day for a week than twenty in two days and risk a delivery window. It's a slightly longer calendar for materially less operational risk, and we'll say so up front.
Yes. With roughly half of BMW's Spartanburg output exported and more than 14,000 vehicles moving by rail, finished-vehicle logistics is a meaningful local fleet category with its own equipment considerations.
Yes. Greer's 24/7 gates and 11-minute turn targets create a tight drayage rhythm, and we schedule around it the same way we would at a marine terminal.
No. South Carolina has required neither safety nor emissions inspection since 1995. Federal FMCSA annual inspection rules still apply to commercial motor vehicles.
At your yard. Manufacturing and logistics fleets along I-85 and I-26 don't have time to shuttle trucks to a shop, so we bring the crew and equipment to you.
