CDL Truck Driving Jobs in Georgia

Savannah and the Atlanta pull

The Port of Savannah's Garden City Terminal is the largest single container terminal in North America, and its Mason Mega Rail yard moves containers onto trains right on the terminal. What does not go by rail goes by truck, which is where you come in.

Atlanta is the other half of the equation. The metro is one of the densest distribution and warehouse clusters in the Southeast, fed by Hartsfield Jackson air cargo and by everything rolling up from the coast.

The signature lane

Savannah to Atlanta on I-16 and I-75 is roughly 250 miles, and it is the lane that defines Georgia trucking. It is long enough to pay and short enough that many drivers run it as a regional turn rather than an over the road haul. Beyond it, I-85 heads northeast toward the Carolinas, I-20 runs east and west, and I-95 hugs the coast.

Beyond the ports

Georgia is the top broiler producing state in the country, which puts real refrigerated freight on the road. The Dalton area in the northwest is the carpet and flooring capital of the US and generates its own steady outbound volume. Paper and forest products round out the mix.

Finding driving work in Georgia

Georgia is one of the best states in the Southeast for a driver who wants regional work with real home time. The Savannah to Atlanta lane is long enough to pay and short enough to sleep at home most nights.

Atlanta distribution hires constantly across experience levels. Poultry work means reefer. Port drayage in Savannah is its own discipline with appointments and chassis. All three are hiring, and they are different jobs.

The Savannah to Atlanta lane is one of the busiest dry van driver jobs corridors in the country. Atlanta's construction and delivery economy also keeps Class B CDL jobs hiring in box trucks, mixers, and route work.
