Memphis is a distribution city before it is anything else. One job in six inside the city is in transportation and warehousing, nearly three times Houston's share. Four intermodal ramps and fourteen rail yards sit inside the city line, the river port loads the barges, and six in ten of the 3,400 carriers based here run interstate.
A Memphis lot holds an intermodal day cab, a paper truck out of the mills, a car hauler and a river-port tractor. A tanker fills at the Memphis racks. The sleeper-cab semi truck works the long lanes in every direction.
Lost title in Memphis
Tennessee issues a duplicate title at the county clerk, and the Shelby County Clerk at 150 Washington Avenue takes the application and records the title transfer. The bonded title for an older truck, the lien and the brand are covered on the Tennessee page.
A distribution-center day cab lives in short cycles and shows it at the fifth wheel, the clutch and the steps; a long-haul sleeper in its drivetrain and its records. Shoot those, then the cab and the engine, and name the terminal or the lane.
Weight limits in Memphis
Tennessee grants a ten percent margin off the interstate to some loads and not others, as the Tennessee page sets out beside the federal gross. Memphis's own inventory counts 673 bridges, fifty posted for load and seven below fourteen feet. The lowest is ten feet on an I-40 exit ramp over the rail, which the intermodal drivers route around.
