Hiring Drivers in Georgia — FAQ
Georgia combines the Port of Savannah (fastest growing US port), Atlanta as a top-5 logistics hub, and I-75/I-85/I-20 connectivity. The state handles more import container volume growth than any other Southeast market.
Georgia drivers earn $50,000-$66,000 per year. Port drayage drivers in Savannah and distribution drivers in Atlanta metro often earn at the higher end. The moderate cost of living makes these wages competitive.
The Port of Savannah's expansion has created acute driver demand for intermodal and drayage operations. The inland port in NE Georgia and the upcoming mega-rail terminal will further increase demand through 2027.
Intermodal/drayage (Savannah port), dry van (Atlanta distribution), reefer (poultry processing), and flatbed (construction — Atlanta metro is constantly building) are the highest-demand categories.
Atlanta has a large and experienced driver pool due to the concentration of carrier terminals, distribution centers, and CDL schools. However, the competition for those drivers is equally intense. Home-daily positions are the strongest recruiting tool.
