Jobs around Memphis
A freight town
Memphis sits where the Mississippi River, major interstates and five Class I railroads meet, and its airport is one of the busiest air-cargo hubs in the world. That makes it a warehouse, distribution and cold-storage market first, with heavy industrial growth on the north and south ends of the city. Big-box distribution buildings mean long runs of repeating bays — work that rewards a crew that settles into a rhythm.
Three states, one metro
The Memphis metro spills into DeSoto County, Mississippi, and across the river into Arkansas. A job in Southaven or Olive Branch is a Mississippi job, and West Memphis is Arkansas; payroll and workers' comp follow the work. Alpha is licensed and bonded in all 50 states, so the crew can work either side of the line.
Working through the holidays
Our Memphis crew worked the last week of the year and the first two weeks of the next, when many crews go home. If your schedule can't stop for the holidays, say so in the request and the crew is planned around it.
E-Verify on both sides of the line
Mississippi requires every employer to use E-Verify, and Tennessee requires it of employers with 35 or more employees. Alpha verifies every hire in every state, so a crew can move from a Shelby County site to one in DeSoto County without new paperwork on your end. Federally funded work in either state falls under Davis-Bacon, with certified payroll when the job requires it.
Getting a crew to Memphis
Crews travel from Alpha's Kansas City base — about 455 road miles, roughly 7.5 hours by road. A foreman-led crew of 4 to 15 can be on site within 24 hours of the go-ahead; full hyperscale mobilizations take about two weeks.
