About Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta is the 8th largest U.S. metro area with over 6.4 million residents and is a major inland hub for global trade due to its robust intermodal system of rail, road, and air connections. Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, serves as a critical centralized inland hub in global trade and shipping container logistics due to its strategic connectivity to major Southeast ports like [Savannah](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/locations/shipping-container-savannah), [Charleston](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/locations/shipping-container-charleston) and [Wilmington](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/locations/shipping-container-for-sale-wilmington).
Georgia’s top exports include [vehicles](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/automotive), aircraft parts, and [agriculture](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/shipping-containers-for-the-farming--agriculture-industry) such as cotton, poultry, eggs, peanuts, watermelons and pecans. These exports are shipped in containers to over 200 markets worldwide. Atlanta is viewed as a distribution, equipment repositioning, and coordination hub for goods moving between U.S. markets and international ports and plays a vital role in moving goods throughout the North America and internationally.
Due to its location, container availability is driven by seasonality of agriculture, consumer buying trends and shipping container prices. However, Eveon’s supply of 20ft and 40ft containers is usually healthy and out of stock notices are limited.
