Shipping from Memphis: what the location gives you

From a Memphis warehouse, about 40% of the US population is within a day’s drive, and your parcels leave from the city that holds the FedEx world headquarters and world hub, plus major UPS, DHL and US Postal Service operations. Memphis International placed 3rd in the US for all-cargo landed weight in 2025, about 16.3 billion lbs even after a 23% drop from 2024, in the FAA’s preliminary count.

If you import from Asia, Georgia Tech research published by the Georgia Ports Authority in April 2026 found that routing through the Port of Savannah saves more than $1,000 per container to Memphis versus West Coast gateways. River freight has its own door in the International Port of Memphis, sixth-largest inland port in the country and second-largest on the shallow-draft Mississippi, which a December 2022 port commission study credited with $6.25 billion a year in economic impact and 5,361 direct jobs. On the Tennessee side, a foreign-trade zone is already in place: Zone 77 covers all of Shelby County.

For peak-season hiring, the metro counts about 190,300 trade, transportation and utilities workers across its Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas counties (August 2026, preliminary), fewer than the 224,700 in metro Nashville. The airport in Nashville handles far less freight, though: about 304.8 million lbs of all-cargo landed weight in 2025, a small fraction of the Memphis total. For Tennessee as a whole, the state’s economic development department puts 67% of the US population within a one-day truck drive.

What to ask before you sign with a Memphis 3PL

  1. Would my inventory sit in Memphis proper or across the line in Mississippi?
  2. How late in the day can an order come in and still leave with FedEx or UPS that night?
  3. Can I start with overflow or seasonal space before signing a longer contract?
  4. If I bring containers in through Savannah, who handles the move to Memphis and what does it cost?
  5. Which of my sales channels connect to your system without custom work?
  6. Can I visit the building and meet the team that would run my account?
