Keeping Memphis Moving: The Gold Standard of Air Freight Service Memphis.
Located in western Tennessee on the Mississippi River, Memphis is the second largest city proper and metropolitan area in the Volunteer State. Memphis is known across the country for its vibrant music scene, its unique barbecue ribs, its eclectic architecture, and its scenic skyline. But the city is also noteworthy for its dynamic business community, with many of the most important manufacturers, shippers, and other prominent firms headquartered or operating here. From FedEx to International Paper to Smith & Nephew to Cargill Cotton to Varsity Brands, businesses of every industry know what Memphis has to offer and waste no time making the most of it.
Air Freight Memphis
AirFreight.com keeps Memphis open for business so businesses across the country can continue to benefit. Our job is to swoop in when the city’s businesses run short on supplies and coordinate the emergency deliveries necessary to get those supplies delivered. We’ve been serving Memphis for more than a decade, and know its unique delivery requirements like the backs of our hands. And thanks to our wealth of resources and expertise, we’re capable of meeting all those requirements without hesitation. By keeping AirFreight.com at the ready, you can reinforce your business against the worst logistical trouble and make sure your supplies keep flowing under any circumstances.
Meeting Shipping Challenges
The many varieties of businesses that operate in Memphis is both a source of opportunity and a cause of calamity. Because so many different kinds of companies are located here, the town is insulated against economic downturns, as it’s rare for multiple industries to struggle at the same time and in the same way.
It’s also rare, however, for so many different industries to need the same kinds of supplies delivered on the same timetables. Accordingly, Memphis’s many firms are a source of shipping confusion and, at times, chaos; suppliers can’t always serve them all without mixing up orders, failing to foresee obstacles, or otherwise exposing themselves to delay. Prudent Memphis business owners thus come up with backup plans to deal with such delays.
AirFreight.com has your backup plan ready to go. We serve Memphis and other cities throughout western Tennessee, including Bartlett, Southhaven, Cordova, Germantown, and Collierville.
Supplying Businesses
AirFreight.com knows all these challenges and has a strategy to deal with each of them. We are committed to supplying businesses in communities throughout northern Kentucky, including not just Lexington, but also Fort Knox, Elizabethtown, and Shelbyville.
Ground Freight
While our name is AirFreight.com, we hardly ignore the value of a good ground shipment. We have fleets of affiliated trucks, vans, and trailers that can carry your goods at a moment’s notice, whether all the way to Memphis or to the airport for an air cargo flight. Our affiliates are stationed in every North American city, from the southernmost reaches of Mexico to the northernmost tips of Canada and Alaska all the way out to Hawaii. Because our network is so large, reaching your supply points is only ever a tiny portion of the journey; we’re never more than a two hours’ drive from those points, so we don’t have to waste valuable time getting out to them. By reaching and loading up your items within a few hours of receiving the order, we leave more time for the trip to Memphis, allowing our affiliated drivers to safely and carefully reach your destination with time to spare.
Air Freight
Ground deliveries only meets your needs if your supplies are only a few hundred miles away and accessible by land. When that’s not the case— when you have to ship from Mexico, Canada, or a US state that’s thousands of miles away; or when your goods have to cross the ocean— air freight is what you need. We specialize in emergency air freight, coordinating deliveries over any distance as seamlessly as any local truck shipment. Just like our truck network, our network of affiliated airlines extends all over the US, Mexico, and Canada; virtually every major city, as well as many small towns and mid-sized cities, has an airport that our affiliates fly out of. Air service ensures that no location is so far from your Memphis destination that we can’t reach it within a day.
Shipment Planning
For both our air services and our ground ones, AirFreight.com ensures swift deliveries by means of detailed planning. As soon as you’ve told us what you need hauled and where you need it hauled from, we’ll get to work finding the most effective route for that cargo. We start by identifying a truck or other vehicle in our network that is as close as possible to your starting point and that’s large enough to carry all your supplies safely. We’ll then look up all the possible roads we could take to either the airport or to Memphis, depending on whether you need air freight service. We’ll compare and contrast roads based on the condition they're in, the traffic they experience at different times of the day, and the weather they’re subject to during the present season. If we’re also working air freight into the mix, we’ll compare the different flight possibilities, considering whether each flight is likely to get canceled or delayed by a storm, blocked from landing due to air traffic, or disrupted by airfield maintenance at the sending or receiving airport. Through this process, we select the route that is most reliable and least likely to be disrupted.
Central Coordination
AirFreight.com keeps apprised of all our orders while they’re underway, using advanced tracking equipment to stay updated on the precise location of each truck and plane. Thanks to this data, we can make sure your order is traveling along the proper route, and can look ahead to the rest of that route for any signs of trouble. We react decisively to unexpected delays, communicating with the driver or airline to steer them around any obstacle.
AirFreight.com will always take your call, whether to update you on current orders or schedule future ones. To learn more, call us today at (800) 713-1000 or visit AirFreight.com.
