Why brands fulfill from St. Louis

All six North American Class I railroads serve St. Louis, per the St. Louis Regional Freightway. On the road side, four interstates plus a high-priority corridor and an interstate loop serve the region, and three of the four interstates reach US coastlines.

The river adds a third mode. The region’s port system is the northernmost lock- and ice-free port on the Mississippi and moves 105 million tons of cargo a year, and the St. Louis barge industry handles about 369,000 tons per river mile, almost four times the average of the other eight US inland port districts.

For air freight, the region has two international cargo airports, and St. Louis Lambert International moved 160 million pounds of cargo in 2023. For imports, Foreign Trade Zone 102 covers the City and County of St. Louis, and Foreign Trade Zone 31 at America’s Central Port serves southwest Illinois.

About 258,600 people work in trade, transportation and utilities in the St. Louis MO-IL metro (August 2026, preliminary), more than the roughly 230,500 in the same sector in metro Kansas City. Kansas City, with the smaller workforce, points to ground reach instead: KC SmartPort says it reaches 90% of the contiguous US in two days or less.

Questions to ask a St. Louis 3PL

  1. Is my inventory going to a Missouri building or one across the river in Illinois?
  2. Does the building have active rail service, and which railroad switches it?
  3. Is the site inside Foreign Trade Zone 102 or Zone 31, and do you handle the zone filings?
  4. If my goods arrive by barge or through Lambert, who moves them to your dock?
  5. Is my space public, or part of a building run for a single client?
  6. What is your same-day order cutoff, and in which time zone?
