Georgia anchors the Southeast's logistics network with the Port of Savannah, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and extensive rail and highway connections. From Kia and Hyundai automotive plants to the carpet industry in Dalton, from agricultural operations in the south to technology corridors in Atlanta, HEAT Freight delivers heavy equipment throughout the Peach State.
Georgia's automotive sector includes major assembly plants requiring production equipment and tooling transport. The Port of Savannah, America's fastest-growing container port, generates massive equipment transport demand. The carpet and flooring industry in Northwest Georgia needs manufacturing equipment. Poultry processing facilities throughout the state require refrigeration and processing systems. Atlanta's construction boom demands cranes, concrete equipment, and earthmovers.
GDOT issues oversize/overweight permits with attention to Atlanta metro congestion. Georgia allows 24-hour movement of permitted oversize loads on most routes outside metro areas. Atlanta has extensive restricted routes and time windows. The state coordinates closely with neighboring states for regional transport.
What are the Atlanta metro restrictions for oversize loads?
Atlanta has extensive oversize restrictions including prohibited routes, curfew windows (typically 6-9 AM and 4-7 PM on weekdays), and specific routing requirements. I-285 has sections that restrict oversize loads entirely. We route plan carefully to navigate Atlanta efficiently and compliantly.
How do you handle Port of Savannah shipments?
We're experienced with Port of Savannah operations, including container terminals and break-bulk facilities. We coordinate with port logistics teams, manage appointment scheduling, and transport cargo nationwide. The port's inland location provides excellent highway access via I-16 and I-95.
Can you transport equipment to Georgia automotive plants?
Yes, we regularly serve Georgia's automotive assembly plants including Kia in West Point and various supplier facilities. We coordinate with plant logistics teams for delivery scheduling, manage plant site access requirements, and handle production-critical equipment with appropriate urgency.
Does Georgia allow nighttime oversize movement?
Yes, Georgia permits 24-hour movement of oversize loads on most routes outside metropolitan areas with proper permits. This provides flexibility for long-distance transport. Metro Atlanta has specific restrictions that may require scheduling around curfew windows.
