Maersk opens new facility south of Atlanta for LTL and linehaul

Maersk has opened a new ground freight station and integrated linehaul operations hub in Lake City, Georgia just south of Atlanta.

This expansion strengthens Maersk’s national logistics coverage across the Southeast and integrates into the company’s broader portfolio of end-to-end logistics and supply chain services, according to a statement from the company.

Maersk’s new location is near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and with direct access to Interstate 75. The facility is embedded in a key logistics corridor with proximity to major rail lines, regional distribution centers, and Atlanta industrial zones. As such, it provides seamless connectivity for both regional and national freight operations.

It includes:

105,000 sq. ft. of operational space
28 loading docks
Dedicated fleet of 15 trucks and 60 trailers
Supports less-than-truckload services and linehaul operations
Equipped with RF scanning and digital dimensioning for shipment accuracy and real-time visibility

“Our investment in Lake City reflects Maersk’s commitment to building a smarter, faster, and more connected Ground Freight network,” said Gabe Alizieri, Head of Maersk Ground Freight. “By bringing together cartage and hub operations here in Lake City, we’re able to improve transit times and provide more consistent, reliable service to the people and businesses that depend on us.”

The facility supports a full range of services including specialized and standard LTL services, along with Expedited LTL, FTL, linehaul operations, home and store delivery, and dedicated fleet.

Aligned with Maersk’s network optimization strategy, the Lake City hub utilizes advanced routing intelligence, real-time visibility platforms, RF scanning, and digital dimensioning to drive shipment precision and operational transparency, according to the company.

With more than 65 facilities across North America, Maersk said its Ground Freight operation continues to expand and evolve its logistics network through strategic infrastructure, advanced technology, and a customer-first approach.

Maersk said this latest addition, along with the recently opened Dallas–Fort Worth Station and Hub, reinforces its commitment to integrated, nationwide logistics excellence. The Lake City hub stands as another step toward Maersk’s goal of connecting supply chains across the U.S., empowering customers with greater speed, reliability, and end-to-end control through Maersk’s global logistics network.
