Savannah runs on container freight, and container freight runs on tractors, chassis and reefers that cannot afford downtime. We install GPS, cameras and Geotab telematics on drayage and service fleets across Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties — on site, on your schedule.
The Port of Savannah is the defining fact of this market. Garden City Terminal is the largest single-operator container terminal in North America at 1,345 acres, and Georgia Ports moved 5.7 million TEUs in FY2025 — up 8.6% and its second-busiest year on record. That volume translates into more than 14,000 truck moves per day through the terminal gates.
That creates a fleet profile you don't find anywhere else in Georgia. Drayage tractors cycling between the terminal and area warehouses put on high daily mileage in a tight radius. The terminal carries 3,024 reefer rack plugs, so temperature-controlled equipment is a routine part of the local mix rather than a specialty. And with 42 doublestack trains a week off the Mason Mega Rail complex — 85 acres, the largest intermodal rail facility at any port authority in North America — the drayage window is tight and predictable.
Beyond the port, Gulfstream Aerospace is Savannah's largest private employer and Georgia's largest manufacturer, with roughly two-thirds of its 20,000-plus global workforce here across more than four million square feet of facilities. Hyundai's Metaplant America in Ellabell — $7.59 billion, 2,996 acres, 500,000 vehicles a year of capacity — has pulled in 18-plus suppliers and $2.5 billion of supplier investment, generating an entirely new layer of inbound parts logistics in Bryan County.
Tourism adds a third fleet type: 12.9 million visitors in 2025 supporting roughly 40,780 jobs in Chatham County, which means shuttles, tour vehicles, catering vans and hospitality service trucks.
We install and service every major platform, with particular attention to the equipment types that dominate the Savannah market.
Tractor, chassis and trailer tracking for drayage operations, plus standard GPS on service and delivery vehicles.
Road- and driver-facing dash cameras and backup cameras — heavily used on terminal-access equipment where tight yard maneuvering is a daily risk.
Geotab Authorized installs, plus reefer temperature monitoring, Samsara, Motive and Powerfleet. Our Geotab page →
Coastal exposure is real here in a way it isn't in Macon or Athens. Sealed connectors, corrosion-resistant harnessing and careful grounding matter more on equipment that lives within a few miles of the water. On the reefer side, with 3,024 rack plugs at Garden City Terminal, temperature telematics is a mainstream requirement rather than an add-on — and it's a different install than a simple GPS tracker.
Savannah's live oak canopy makes it one of the most demanding cities in the Southeast for oversize permitting. Any vehicle over 13'6" tall, 8'6" wide or 65' long needs both GDOT and City of Savannah permits, and the city application has to clear Traffic Engineering, the Park & Tree Department, and the Savannah-Chatham Metro Police traffic division. Electrical escorts run $52 per hour, or $81 after hours, with the applicant covering tree trimming and utility relocation. Fleets that route oversize loads through the district plan those moves well in advance.
When an evacuation is ordered, GDOT reverses all lanes of I-16 westbound from Savannah to US 441 in Dublin — 125 miles of contraflow. Chatham-based fleets need to know where every unit is during evacuation and, just as importantly, during re-entry. This is the one time of year when GPS stops being an efficiency tool and becomes an operational necessity.
Unlike metro Atlanta, Chatham County is not in Georgia's 13-county emissions testing program. There is no annual emissions test on any fleet vehicle registered here, gas or diesel.
We work throughout Chatham County and the surrounding coastal counties:
…plus the terminal and warehouse corridor along Highway 21 and I-516. If your equipment is here, we'll come to it.
We install at your yard or terminal-adjacent facility rather than inside port property. For drayage fleets, we generally schedule around your gate windows — most operators have a predictable daily slack period, and that's when we work.
Yes. Reefer telematics is a routine part of our Savannah work given the volume of temperature-controlled equipment moving through Garden City Terminal. It's a more involved install than a standard GPS tracker, and we'll walk you through sensor placement before we quote it.
It affects the install more than the device. Coastal equipment sees faster corrosion at connection points, so we use sealed connectors, protect splices properly and pay closer attention to grounding on vehicles that work near the water. Done right, it's a non-issue; done cheaply, it's a callback in eighteen months.
No. Georgia's emissions program covers only 13 metro Atlanta counties. Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties are not included, so there's no annual emissions requirement here for any vehicle.
It's one of the clearest use cases in this market. When I-16 goes to contraflow, knowing exactly where each unit is — and being able to confirm they've cleared the area — is far better than a phone tree. The same visibility matters on re-entry when you're sequencing crews back in.
