What Memphis makes and ships

Memphis at a glance

Memphis is where I-40 and I-55 cross the Mississippi, five Class I railroads converge and an air-cargo superhub runs at Memphis International. Distribution buildings spread from Lamar Avenue into DeSoto County, Miss., and across the river into Arkansas.

Memphis earns its living moving goods. National DCs line Lamar Avenue in southeast Shelby County and spread into Olive Branch, Southaven, Horn Lake and Byhalia, Miss., and West Memphis, Ark. The International Port of Memphis works the river from President's Island, an industrial peninsula in southwest Memphis that is home to about 200 firms. Rail ramps at Tennessee Yard, Forrest Yard and the Intermodal Gateway load containers. Hardwood is part of the local trade too: the National Hardwood Lumber Association, which writes grading rules for hardwood lumber, is based here.

Pallet demand here is about volume and consistency. DCs serving national networks churn through standard 48x40s, and a truckload of mixed grades slows a receiving crew fast. Grocery and foodservice warehouses in Southaven and Memphis run cold-and-dry operations where freezer work splits weak boards. Industrial tenants on President's Island and along the river may need block or custom builds for heavy or odd-shaped freight moving by barge, rail or truck.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-40 crosses the Mississippi on the Hernando de Soto Bridge and I-55 on the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge, both reaching West Memphis, Ark. I-269 swings through the southeast suburbs into DeSoto and Marshall counties, Miss., where I-22 heads southeast toward Birmingham. Container ramps include the Tennessee Yard intermodal facility, Forrest Yard and the Intermodal Gateway. The Georgia Ports Authority advertises two- to three-day double-stack service between the Port of Savannah and Memphis, and barges from President's Island follow the river south to the Gulf.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for Memphis.

National DCs on Lamar Avenue and in DeSoto County should standardize on Grade A recycled 48x40s and keep Grade B for one-way outbound or floor storage. Consumer-goods buildings with strict retail receiving should consider AAA. Cold-and-dry food warehouses need Grade A or new pallets that stay sound in freezers. President's Island shippers with heavy loads belong on block or custom builds. For freight leaving the country by rail to a coastal port or by air, order HT pallets bearing the IPPC mark. Your account manager confirms the spec in writing.

Buying pallets in Memphis: questions

Can you deliver to DCs on Lamar Avenue despite the traffic?+
Yes. We deliver by the truckload to buildings along Lamar Avenue and the rest of southeast Memphis. Your account manager books your appointment with that corridor's congestion in mind and spells out grade and quantity on the quote, and the pallets come from the closest yard with your grade in stock.
Do you serve Olive Branch, Southaven and Byhalia across the state line?+
Yes. DeSoto and Marshall County, Miss., buildings get the same truckload delivery as Memphis addresses. Tell your account manager your retail customers' pallet rules, and we match the grade to the strictest one and confirm it before the load is built.
What pallet works for a cold-and-dry food warehouse in Southaven?+
Freezer rooms split weak boards, so Grade A or new pallets with tight nailing are the safer pick. If product ships to retail chains, check their pallet rules too. Your account manager puts the grade spec on the quote before the load is built and scheduled.
Do containers railed from Memphis to a coastal port for export need HT pallets?+
If the box is going overseas, plan on it. Countries that follow ISPM 15 require heat-treated wood packaging with the stamp, whatever port it sails from. We quote HT pallets from accredited facilities and confirm your destination's rules.
Where can I buy pallets in Memphis, TN?+
From us, by the full truckload: 616 recycled 48x40s per truck, or 520 block pallets. Call (470) 206-3352 or book a test load.
What do pallets cost delivered to Memphis, TN?+
Full-truckload prices run from $4.75 a pallet for Grade B to $10.50 for AAA, freight included. Heat-treated adds $1.00–$1.50 per pallet.
When will a load reach Memphis, TN?+
Your delivery date is on the quote, in writing, before you send a PO. Standard 48x40s often arrive in 0–2 business days. New and custom builds take longer.
