Interstate Highways are a series roads that connect states together through driving. The idea of the interstate highway was developed in the 30's and then in in 1956 was created by the president at the time, Dwight D, Eisenhower. Georgia has several interstates that go through the state a few of them being major highways. Savannah and Brunswick (which have seaports) are close to two major interstate highways. That's makes transporting goods to other states cheaper and quicker. Since Georgia has so many interstate highways there are over 25,000 interstate truckers that go to and from this state delivering goods.A lot of goods that are shipped to Georgia take only two truckload days to get goods to 80% of the US market.
