Freight Delivery in Gainesville, Georgia
🏆 Uline's Georgia Carrier of the Year — 10 Consecutive Years
Uline National Carrier of the Year 2017 & 2024 | Serving Atlanta Since 1985
Davis Delivery Service has provided freight delivery in Gainesville, Georgia since 1985. Our Buford facility is about 15 miles southwest of Gainesville on I-985, giving us fast, reliable access to the entire Hall County area for LTL freight, full truckload, liftgate delivery, cross-dock warehousing, and same-day service. We handle every category of freight delivery Gainesville businesses need — from single-pallet residential deliveries to multi-truckload industrial shipments.
Our damage claim rate runs under 1 percent — a fraction of the 2-5 percent industry average — because most freight is handled once at pickup and once at delivery, not shuffled through multiple terminal transfers.
Freight Services We Provide in Gainesville
Everything we run reaches Gainesville from our dock in Buford: LTL freight priced by class and weight, truckload by the hour or by the load, single pallets, dedicated trucks and drivers, tile and flooring, and cross-dock or warehouse storage when freight needs to wait. For same-day delivery, call our dispatch line at (678) 926-3939 before noon and we’ll have a truck on the way within 60 minutes.
Every box truck in our fleet is liftgate-equipped, so we can deliver without a dock, whether the stop is a residential address on a quiet street off the I-985 corridor, a retail storefront, a medical office, or a construction site. Liftgate service is a flat $50, and residential delivery a further $50 — $100 all in, quoted before the truck rolls. The same delivery at published minimums elsewhere: $150 at Estes, $220 at Old Dominion, $339 at Saia and $450 at both FedEx Freight and R+L.
Gainesville: Poultry, Plants and a New Inland Port
Four of the ten biggest existing industries on the Greater Hall Chamber’s January 2025 list are poultry processors. Gold Creek Foods is first, with 4,000 people across eight locations and its corporate offices on Washington Street. The other three are Fieldale Farms (the Chamber’s 2025 Industry of the Year among large employers), Pilgrim’s, and Mar-Jac Poultry out on Aviation Boulevard, halal certified since 1985.
Poultry is only part of it. Kubota Manufacturing of America has 3,540 people at two locations in Gainesville-Hall, and in June 2025 it opened a $190 million loader plant at the Gateway Industrial Centre. Cottrell, which builds car-hauler trailers, put up a 600,000-square-foot North Campus in the Gainesville 85 Business Park. In August 2026 the governor announced a $5 million Cirkla food-packaging plant on Fulenwider Road. And in northeast Hall, off White Sulphur Road near GA-365, the Gainesville Inland Port opened on May 4, 2026, with Norfolk Southern running to the Port of Savannah five days a week.
Housing is moving too. The Chamber counts more than 1,200 new residential units built recently within a short walk of the downtown square and the Midtown Greenway, and the city processed 335 single-family permits in 2024. Out near Exit 24, The Manor at Gainesville Township is approved for 2,365 homes, townhomes and apartments on 1,122 acres. That’s the side of Gainesville we’re built for: cabinets, appliances and building materials going to lots and unfinished buildings with no dock and no forklift. There’s a liftgate on every box truck we run.
It’s a straight run for us. We get on I-985 at Exit 8 by our dock in Buford and get off at Exit 20 onto Candler Road, about 20 minutes. Kubota’s new plant is about 25.
