Shipping 24/7

Two facts speak volumes for Memphis and its importance in the distribution world: Shipping giant FedEx has its world headquarters here, and UPS operates its third-largest U.S. shipping facility in the area. In addition, Memphis International Airport is the world’s busiest cargo airport, and more than 400 trucking companies serve the metro area. Memphis can claim the title of third-largest rail center in the country, and fourth-largest inland port. And via three Free Trade Zones, Memphis is an international gateway for product export and import.

Highly highway accessible

Seven U.S. highways converge in the metro area, providing distributors access to major markets across the Southeast U.S. An incredible 45 states can be reached from Memphis within two days’ drive.
