cargo hub
Shipping distribution point
A cargo hub is a central facility where freight is collected, sorted, and redistributed—typically an airport or seaport designed for high-volume shipping operations.
Goods arrive from multiple origins, get consolidated or broken down, and move outward to final destinations.
Major logistics companies build their networks around such hubs: Memphis became a cargo hub when FedEx established its overnight sorting center there.
