Why brands fulfill from Memphis

Memphis International Airport ranked 3rd among US airports for all-cargo landed weight in 2025, at about 16.3 billion lbs, a figure 23% below 2024 in FAA preliminary data. The city is home to the FedEx world headquarters and world hub, and UPS, DHL and the US Postal Service run major operations there too.

On the river, the International Port of Memphis is the second-largest inland port on the shallow-draft Mississippi and the sixth-largest inland port in the US. A December 2022 study for the Memphis Shelby County Port Commission put its annual economic impact at $6.25 billion, with 5,361 direct jobs, and Foreign-Trade Zone 77 covers all of Shelby County. Ocean containers from Asia have an East Coast option: Georgia Tech research released by the Georgia Ports Authority in April 2026 found the Port of Savannah saves shippers more than $1,000 per container to Memphis compared with West Coast gateways.

By road, about 40% of the US population is within a day’s drive of Memphis. The trade, transportation and utilities sector employs about 190,300 people across the Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas parts of the metro (August 2026, preliminary); across all of Tennessee, the same sector counts about 684,600. Set beside Nashville, the gap is in the air: Nashville International logged about 304.8 million lbs of all-cargo landed weight in 2025, 75th in the same FAA data, while Nashville’s case rests on being one of six US cities where three major interstates converge.

Questions to ask a Memphis 3PL

  1. Which building would hold my inventory, and is it in Tennessee or across the state line in Mississippi?
  2. Is that building inside Foreign-Trade Zone 77, and do you handle zone admissions and entries?
  3. What is your daily FedEx and UPS pickup cutoff, and does it move during peak season?
  4. If my containers enter through Savannah, do they reach you by rail or by truck, and who books that leg?
  5. Is the space shared with other clients or run for a single account?
  6. Which certification covers food-grade storage in my building: FDA, AIB or another?
