You dont follow me on Twitter because im not on Twitter. But I see your following me on here so evidentally you do care, or else you wouldnt keep responding . I dont care about your economy in Houston.
I think all these cities have fairly extensive rail networks, all on the shores have sizable ports. All have decent sized airports. They are pretty large areas. Hell I think PHL actually does nearly the same cargo volume as does ATL.
End of the day i think it silly to suggest any of these cities are dramatically different in these rankings - specific criteria likely help some and hinder others
Who told you that lie
Chicago, Kansas City, Cleveland, Atlanta, in that order in rail.
Houston nor Philly is in the southeast, OyCrumbler was comparing Miami to Atlanta as cities in the southeast I just caught that.
The first is an odd map, where is the orginal Reading Railroad line heading west. This cant somehow not have registered, seems a lot of lines are missing here that are major rail routes.

This list isn't meant to downplay Atlanta as a center for logistics and distribution, but it does show Philadelphia and Houston are not insignificant within that sector.

Nice find. Dunno why Chiatldal is fighting so hard to prove that GawC had some basis for those rankings

All those cities have a sea port, if you notice Savannah, Mobile, and Charleston made the list, I mean like really I can't take it seriously. A lot of which goes though Atlanta. Savannah is not a major distribution center, Georgia leaders are using Savannah port, because Atlanta doesn’t directly have one. I telling you right now the port of Savannah, is doing the collecting from water but Atlanta is where most of the distribution is.
No way in hell does, Houston or Philly ranks with Atlanta in rail, road, and air cargo. Not to mention Houston is 10th for logistics jobs. Philly is not even top 10. If you go to logistics sites Atlanta is brought up for actual distributing centers, Houston is only brought up for it's port rank, Philly is not even often mention. The ranking you post take account of having, land, air, and water higher than overall distribution or number of jobs. Because if you look into the rail, airlines, trucking industries they will beg the differ with that rank. So I hope you ain't taking your rank list too serious.

I have told you repeatedly I don't agree with GaWC ranking completely I Dunno why you making it as if I do,
And far as GaWC goes and connections firms goes, Atlanta and Dallas has a higher presence of logistic companies and logistics jobs so in logistics so they wouldn't wrong on that issue.

actually memphis is the big distribution player in that area.
It spanks ATl's but big time.
Memphis handles -
the most air cargo in the world(Far more than ATL)
It is along the 3rd busiest Road Corridor in the US ( far busier than ATL)
It has the second largest shallow draft post on the Mississippi ( ATL has no water port)
It is the 3rd most connected Rail Center in the US.
So Memphis is the big Cargo Transport and distribution center is the South. Not ATL. ATl does not come near it.
It is a far stretch to claim you handle all of that.
A huge chunk goes along the 95 corridor
