The Peach State can expect the logistics business to keep on trucking, according to a new study.Independent research firm GrowthEconomics Inc. ranked Atlanta fifth among the largest logistics employers in the U.S., and outlined reasons for continued upward trending in Georgia this year.The state’s tremendous stretches of roadway, high-volume seaports and the world’s busiest airport are big factors for growth.
The 92-page report takes a look at Georgia’s 21,200 miles of highway that supports over one million trucks each week. Savannah''s container terminal shipped over 2,616 million tons of TEUs last year making it the third largest terminal in the nation.Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport handles approximately 53,700 metric tons of cargo and more than 60,000 metric tons of mail on airliners and cargo aircraft operated by 19 different companies.
Atlanta-based logistics firm SBC Fulfillment, which provides warehousing, packaging, logistics, and fulfillment services to businesses, is poised to take advantage of new opportunities in Georgia.President and CEO of SBC, Brian Schoenbachler says, “I think that people are just now starting to think of Georgia as a larger center of logistics.” Schoenbacheler hopes that Savannah’s major international shipping port continues to play a key role in the support and expansion of Georgia’s logistics market and industry.
