Atlanta is the largest 3PL hub in the Southeast United States. Its position at the intersection of I-75, I-85, and I-20 -- the three most important interstate highways in the Southeast -- combined with Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (the world's busiest passenger airport with large cargo operations) makes Atlanta the natural distribution hub for the entire Southeast region. Major 3PLs operating in Georgia include Ryder, XPO, CEVA, and dozens of specialized operators. The Savannah area has developed its own logistics cluster adjacent to Port of Savannah, the fourth-busiest container port in the US.
