freight hub
Shipping distribution point
A freight hub is a central location where cargo is collected, sorted, and redistributed across transportation networks.
These facilities serve as transfer points where shipments arrive from multiple origins, get consolidated or broken down, and continue to their final destinations via truck, rail, air, or ship.
Major freight hubs like Memphis or Louisville handle millions of packages daily, their strategic locations chosen for efficient access to highways, airports, or ports.
