Hi, I am David Hall
I served nearly 14 years as a United States Marine before moving into the container industry. The Corps taught me that details matter, that commitments are kept, and that you do not leave someone hanging when they are counting on you. That is the standard I bring to this business.
I came into this business because buying a container was harder than it needed to be. People were paying for units they had never seen, then meeting a delivery charge nobody had quoted them.
Site conditions matter too. A property on rural acreage needs a different delivery plan than a tight lot in Charleston.
I built South Carolina Storage Containers to make buying a container in South Carolina simple: clear pricing, clear container grades and a written quote before you commit.
Delivery Geography in South Carolina
South Carolina has 46 counties, running from Blue Ridge foothills to tidal marsh.
The Upstate sits in the Blue Ridge foothills on red clay, with old mill hill streets and steep lake lots on Keowee, Jocassee and Hartwell. Below that the Midlands run through the Sandhills, a belt of deep sand that crosses the state through Aiken, Columbia, Camden and Cheraw and marks where the clay of the upper state gives way to the coastal plain. East of the fall line the Pee Dee flattens into cotton, soybean and tobacco country with real distance between towns. The Lowcountry is marsh, tidal creek and pluff mud, with a water table close enough to the surface that it decides where a container can sit. Slope, ground and room to turn around decide where a truck can set a container down.
What to Plan Around in South Carolina
A container rests its entire load on four corner castings, and the ground under those corners changes across South Carolina. The Piedmont is deep red clay that holds water and softens when wet, with patches of soil that swell when wet and shrink when dry mixed through the same ground. The Sandhills belt is loose sand that drains well but can shift and spread under a point load.
- ✓ Level, firm ground under all four corners
- ✓ Drainage that carries water away from the container
- ✓ Unpaved access to farm, ranch and acreage sites
- ✓ HOA covenants, deed restrictions and local permit questions
- ✓ Access at job sites, plants and other working sites
- ✓ Driveway width and overhead clearance on the truck's route
