The 2011 Department of Justice report shows the major routes that are used to ship cocaine across the United States. According to the DOJ: « Southern California and South Texas are the primary entry points for cocaine, much of which is transported toward heavily populated cities in the eastern United States. Atlanta, in particular, has emerged over the past several years as a key wholesale cocaine distribution hub. Significant quantities of cocaine smuggled into California transit the Pacific Region for Canada. Colombian and Dominican TCOs still use maritime and commercial air conveyances to smuggle cocaine into New York City and Miami for distribution in some East Coast locales, but cocaine smuggled across the Southwest Border is increasingly being distributed in these markets. »
