Atlanta’s LTL Freight Carrier — Built for Residential and Job Site Delivery
Atlanta moves more freight than almost any city in the Southeast. If you’re shipping palletized product into metro Atlanta — whether it’s headed to a homeowner’s garage, a contractor’s job site, a retail location on Peachtree Industrial, or a distribution point near Hartsfield-Jackson — you need a carrier that knows this market cold.
Davis Delivery is that carrier. We’ve been running LTL freight delivery in Atlanta since 1985, operating out of our terminal in Buford off I-85. Our fleet of 50-plus trucks runs daily routes through every corner of metro Atlanta — from Buckhead to the Perimeter, Marietta to Decatur, and every neighborhood and business district in between.
What sets us apart: Davis Delivery specializes in residential and job site deliveries. While national carriers focus on dock-to-dock terminal freight, we built our operation around the deliveries they struggle with — homes without loading docks, active construction sites, and commercial locations with limited access. We handle retail deliveries too, but residential and job site stops are our bread and butter.
Why Atlanta Shippers Choose Davis Delivery
Atlanta’s freight delivery landscape is defined by traffic, tight delivery windows, and locations that weren’t built for 53-foot trailers. National carriers treat Atlanta like one more terminal in their network. We treat it like home — because it is.
Our drivers run the same Atlanta routes week after week. They know which loading docks on Northside Drive can handle a trailer and which ones need a box truck. They know that delivering to a residential neighborhood in Virginia-Highland means arriving with a liftgate and a plan. They know that job site deliveries off the Downtown Connector require coordination with the site foreman. That route-level knowledge eliminates the delays and redelivery attempts that cost shippers money.
LTL Freight Service Across Metro Atlanta
Every delivery truck in our fleet is liftgate-equipped at no extra charge. In a market where the majority of final mile stops are residences, job sites, retail locations, restaurants, and office buildings without loading docks, liftgate isn’t an accessorial — it’s a requirement. National LTL carriers charge $75 to $150 per liftgate drop. We include it in every rate.

Atlanta’s Freight Corridors — We Run Them All
Our Atlanta coverage follows the major freight corridors that define metro logistics. I-85 from our Buford terminal straight into Midtown and the airport corridor. I-285 around the Perimeter connecting Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, and Tucker. I-75 north through Marietta, Kennesaw, and into Cherokee County. GA-400 through Alpharetta, Roswell, and Johns Creek. And every surface route, neighborhood, and job site in between.
Whether your freight is heading to a new home build in East Cobb, a renovation project in Grant Park, a showroom in the Buckhead district, or a distribution center in the South Fulton industrial corridor, our trucks are already running that route.
The Numbers That Matter
Davis Delivery maintains a 99.9% on-time delivery rate across our network. In 2024, our largest customer — a partnership spanning more than 20 years — named us their LTL Carrier of the Year. We don’t earn that recognition by promising. We earn it by showing up on every stop, every day, and executing at the level our customers depend on.
If you’re shipping LTL freight into Atlanta — especially to residences and job sites — and you’re tired of national carrier delays, missed windows, and surprise surcharges, call us. We’ll give you a straight rate with no accessorial games, and we’ll deliver your freight the way your customers expect.
