Atlanta Freight Shipping
Atlanta, Georgia serves as a crucial freight hub in the southeastern United States. Companies worldwide depend on freight services to move goods through this vibrant city. The region ships a diverse range of freight, from raw materials like plastics and metals to finished products such as automotive parts and electronics. As a large metropolitan area, Atlanta also has a significant demand for consumer goods, which includes perishables like fresh produce, dairy, and frozen foods. With access to key interstate highways such as I-75, I-85, and I-20, freight companies can transport goods efficiently across the region and beyond. Atlanta’s air freight capabilities are further enhanced by the proximity of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, one of the busiest cargo airports in the world. This provides companies with quick, reliable air freight options for both domestic and international shipments, ensuring timely deliveries across continents.

Cost to Ship Freight to Atlanta
The time of year and what part of the country a shipment is shipping to and from will affect the cost of a freight shipping quote. Part of a freight cost is the linehaul, and the farther a shipment has to travel, the more fuel is used, and the more expensive the trip will be for the carrier and, in turn, the customer. A shipment from Los Angeles, CA, to Atlanta, GA, will be more expensive than a shipment originating from a neighboring state or city.
Among other factors affecting freight cost will be the item’s size, weight, density, and commodity being shipped. Certain commodities are given a higher freight class, which correlates to a higher price for shipping. The more dense and less fragile a shipment is, the lower its freight class will typically be.
Freight shipping accessorials will factor into the pricing. Some examples include call before delivery, residential pick-up, and liftgate pick-up.
Thousands of businesses trust FreightCenter to move their freight faster, smarter, and cheaper! From unbeatable rates to top-notch service, our customers are raving about their shipping success.
