Cargo Worthy and refurbished stock is quoted on request and rotates with BNSF and CN/IC ramp activity.

Question 4

Where is the Memphis container depot located?

Accepted Answer

In south-east Memphis, inside the I-240 loop and close to the airport freight district. The yard serves the Memphis metro and Shelby County, West Memphis and eastern Arkansas, northern Mississippi, and the wider Mid-South along the I-40 and I-55 corridors. Depot pickup is available with 1-3 business days notice, and tilt-bed delivery across the metro typically takes 2-5 business days from order confirmation. The release names the exact yard and gate hours.

Question 5

Why is Memphis a strong market for buying containers?

Accepted Answer

Memphis is one of the most rail-connected inland container markets in the United States, built around the BNSF and CN/IC terminals and the FedEx logistics ecosystem. Because availability is tied to ramp activity rather than vessel calls, stock replenishes steadily and buyers avoid the price spikes that follow congestion at coastal ports. 20DC units dominate for storage and agricultural use, while 40HC supports distribution and export flows.

Question 6

Do you offer SOC one-way leasing from Memphis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Memphis is an inland origin, so one-way (SOC, one-way) moves route through Gulf or East Coast ports depending on the destination lane, typically Houston and New Orleans for Latin America, Savannah and Norfolk for Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Pricing is a single lane fee covering the inland leg and the ocean move, so the total cost is known before departure. Share your destination port and target sailing window for a lane quote.
