YK Freight operates full-service Savannah Port drayage, managing import and export container moves with complete GPA terminal coordination, TWIC-certified drivers, and timestamped tracking.
We connect Savannah’s terminals with Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Columbus, and North Georgia receivers for same-day or next-day inland delivery.
GPA Terminal Operations
Savannah is one of the busiest container ports in the U.S. and the main hub for Georgia logistics.
YK Freight handles:
- Gate-in / gate-out coordination at GPA Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal
- Pre-pull, grounded, and live-load service
- Import/export appointments and empty return scheduling
- Chassis and demurrage management
All moves are timestamped, tracked, and verified via digital PODs.
