Georgia Roads and Oversize Load Challenges
Oversize transport in Georgia often means traveling through busy freight corridors like I-75, I-85, and I-20, as well as smaller highways that connect rural towns and industrial hubs. Heavy traffic in Atlanta, along with bridges and construction zones throughout the state, creates challenges for carriers.
Escort vehicles are essential for helping drivers navigate these obstacles, maintain compliance, and protect both the load and the public.
