Trucking in Georgia

Georgia is a freight powerhouse anchored by Atlanta, one of the busiest logistics hubs in the nation, and Savannah, which operates the fastest-growing container port in the US. Atlanta's position as a rail and highway hub makes it one of the top markets for intermodal freight. The state hosts massive distribution centers for Amazon, Home Depot, Coca-Cola, and dozens of other national brands. The I-75/I-85 connector through Atlanta (known as 'the grind') is one of the most congested trucking corridors in the country.
