CDL-A Truck Driver Jobs in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta is the crossroads of the Southeast. Three interstates meet downtown and I-285 loops the whole metro, so freight moving between Florida, the Carolinas, Texas and the Midwest often runs right through here.
Main highways: I-75, I-85, I-20 and I-285.
What Freight Moves Through Atlanta
Atlanta is one of the largest distribution markets in the South, with warehouses spread along every interstate leading out of town. Major railroads run intermodal terminals in the metro, and Hartsfield-Jackson handles a lot of air cargo. Retail, grocery, e-commerce and manufactured goods all move through, and the Port of Savannah's containers feed Atlanta warehouses too.
Types of Runs From the Atlanta Area
Local drivers find warehouse shuttles, intermodal drayage and delivery work. Regional lanes run across the Southeast in every direction, which is why Atlanta is a common home base for regional drivers. OTR drivers have easy access to lanes north, west and south.
Every carrier is different, so pay, home time and equipment depend on the company and the account. Get the details in writing before you sign on.
