Why Reefer Driver Hiring is Different in Savannah
Savannah's Garden City Terminal is the largest single-terminal container facility in North America and has been the fastest-growing US port for a decade. The 2024 Hyundai Metaplant opening has added billions in inbound flatbed parts moves and will require thousands more drayage and line-haul drivers through 2027. Driver shortages at the port create chronic chassis and appointment backups.
