Where the containers come in
The Georgia Ports Authority's Port of Savannah has two terminals: Garden City Terminal, which the authority describes as the single largest container terminal in North America, and Ocean Terminal. The authority has designated the South Atlantic Consolidated Chassis Pool as the exclusive chassis pool at both, so tri-axle and underslung genset chassis are planned with the trucker before the pickup.
Mason Mega Rail, the authority's intermodal yard on Garden City Terminal, is served by CSX and Norfolk Southern. A container moving inland by rail is loaded there, with no truck move between the port and a rail ramp. The Appalachian Regional Port in Crandall, in northwest Georgia, is linked to Garden City by a direct CSX route, and the Gainesville Inland Port connects by Norfolk Southern; a container railed to either is collected there instead of at the coast.

After the gate: Atlanta, the Carolinas and Tennessee
Atlanta is roughly 250 road miles from Savannah, so most Atlanta-bound containers are trucked straight from Garden City to the warehouse by contracted motor carriers. Stone, tiles and other dense cargo can make a container legal to ship and still too heavy to truck; we check the gross weight against the road limits before the container is stuffed and plan a tri-axle chassis where the axle weights need one.
Airlift USA has been in business since 1999 and is an FMC-licensed NVOCC (FMC No. 016162), not a customs broker: the customs entry is filed through its licensed customs-broker network, and US trucking is arranged as a non-asset, FMCSA-licensed property broker through contracted motor carriers.
