New IBC totes delivered in Mississippi
Poultry is Mississippi's largest tote-using industry. Meat and poultry processing employed 18,648 people in 2025, 2.0% of the state's private jobs and 4.7 times the national share (BLS QCEW 2025). Food manufacturing in all employed 24,727. Those plants buy food-contact totes for brines and marinades and rated totes for their sanitation chemicals.
Vehicle assembly (5,745 jobs) and parts making (4,926) add buyers of coolants, cleaners and paint-line chemicals. Warehousing employed 25,454, more than half of it in three counties: DeSoto (11,634) and Marshall (3,876) in the Memphis area, and Madison (4,239) north of Jackson.
Delivery to Mississippi
DeSoto County is part of the Memphis freight market, where I-55, I-22 and I-269 meet; loads to north Mississippi are short from there. The Jackson area is reached on I-55 and I-20, and the poultry belt in the centre of the state on I-20 and US highways. Name the ZIP and the dock or liftgate need.
What Mississippi buyers usually ask for
Poultry plants buy brines and marinades in food-contact totes and run sanitation chemicals from rated ones, often in the same week. Say how many of each and ask us to keep them on separate pallets. Parts and vehicle plants along I-55 and around Canton dose coolants from the tote; give the outlet fitting. DeSoto County warehouses near Memphis usually need an appointment.
Totes for brine should never move across to chemical service; label them on arrival. Gulfport and Biloxi receivers come down US 49 or I-10.

Not sure which tote? Start from the product. A regulated liquid needs a UN-rated tote marked for its specific gravity.
Anything people eat or drink needs a food-contact bottle; a Class I flammable needs a steel IBC.
