Shipping from Indianapolis: what the location gives you

From an Indianapolis warehouse, you reach 57% of the US population within a one-day drive, and the city’s airport hosts the second-largest FedEx Express operation. Indianapolis International placed 10th in the US for all-cargo landed weight in 2025, about 4.33 billion lbs, in the FAA’s preliminary count.

If your goods arrive by water, Indiana has the only statewide international port system in the US, reaching the Great Lakes on one side and the Ohio-Mississippi river system on the other.

For hiring, the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro counts about 238,900 trade, transportation and utilities workers (August 2026, preliminary), with unemployment at 3.4% in July 2026. Chicago draws on a pool nearly four times that size, about 931,700 in the same sector, and unemployment at 4.9% in the same month.

What to ask before you sign with an Indianapolis 3PL

  1. Will my stock go to Whitestown, Plainfield or another town, and how far is that from the airport?
  2. What is your daily pickup cutoff for FedEx and the other parcel carriers?
  3. Will my products share space with food, chemicals or other regulated goods?
  4. Which of my sales channels plug into your system without custom work?
  5. Can I start on month-to-month terms before signing a longer contract?
  6. What monthly fee or order volume do you need from me before we start?
