Distribution yards at a top-ten national freight bottleneck

McDonough sits on I-75 about 30 miles south of Atlanta, right where Henry County's planners are now studying unauthorized truck parking under the Henry County Freight Cluster Plan, which covers the interstate between McDonough and Locust Grove. The American Transportation Research Institute's 2026 Top Truck Bottleneck List ranked I-75 at McDonough the ninth-worst freight chokepoint in the country. Warehouse space keeps filling in around the interchange: a $170 million, 1.1-million-square-foot logistics centre on Highway 42 South and an automated distribution facility at Midland Industrial Park have both opened in Henry County in recent years.

Whether it's the bottleneck or the warehouses, nobody watching a yard overnight is the real exposure. In May 2024, Henry County Sheriff's deputies said two men backed up to a distribution facility on Distribution Drive around 11 p.m., hooked up a loaded semi-trailer and drove off; the trailer turned up later, emptied of the craft goods it had carried. A truck idling in unauthorized parking draws a different kind of attention, but a loaded trailer left alone overnight is just as easy to take.

A McDonough yard gets a different outcome under Sigma: agents already watching every camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, instead of footage nobody checks until a trailer comes back empty. AI person and vehicle detection picks up anyone near the trailers once the docks go quiet for the night, the agent reviews the live feed, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police, and you get video clips and a written report afterward. Yard Operations covers damage inspections and visual seal checks on outbound loads.
