service center.
The Mid-South corridor, and the center that reaches in both directions. Eight states run from Jackson, sitting between the Southeast and South Central territories by design.

The states this
center is assigned.
Positioned between the Southeast and South Central centers, covering the Mid-South corridor and supporting large multi-site programs in either direction.

Positioned to reach in two directions
Jackson exists where it does for a specific reason. It sits between the Southeast and South Central territories, which means it can support either one on a large or multi-site program without a crew spending two days getting there.
That matters for customers running plants across several states. A packaging group with sites in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas is one program to Kelly, not three, and Jackson is usually the center that anchors it.
The territory also overlaps deliberately with Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas and Oklahoma. Those overlaps are not an accident of the map. They are what lets Kelly send the nearest available crew rather than the one the territory line says owns it.
The industries these
crews work in most.
Kelly serves every industry from every center. These are the ones concentrated inside this territory, which is what the crews here see week to week.
Distribution and logistics
Memphis is one of the largest air cargo hubs in the world, and the distribution base built around it runs enormous footprints of racking, floor and roof structure that nobody can reach without lifts and a plan.
Automotive and parts
The corridor through Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama carries assembly plants and a deep supplier base. Shutdown weeks here are the busiest of the year for this center.
Appliance and durable goods
Manufacturing across Tennessee and Kentucky, where paint lines, weld cells and finishing operations produce the residue that equipment cleaning and coatings address.
Food and poultry processing
Protein processing across Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, under continuous USDA inspection, with the overhead and structural scope that sanitation shifts cannot cover.
Paper and packaging
Mills and converting plants across the Mid-South, part of the same belt that runs from the Southeast into east Texas.
Every Kelly service,
staffed from Jackson.
The full Kelly service list, the same full-time crews and the same documentation. Nothing is handed to a local vendor because the job is a long way from headquarters.
Who turns up,
and when.
Full-time Kelly employees
Every technician who walks into your plant from this center is a Kelly employee, trained to Kelly procedures and carrying Kelly insurance. No brokered labor, no local subcontractor filling in because the drive is long.
One number, wherever you are
888-422-2623 reaches Kelly directly. There is no regional switchboard and no call center. The call routes to a specialist who will tell you which center covers your plant and what the schedule actually looks like.
Scheduled against your window
Shutdowns, sanitation shifts, changeovers and planned outages. The survey sets the scope and the crew size is built for the window you have, rather than the window we would prefer.
Multi-site programs run as one
A group with plants in several states is one program with one point of contact, not one contract per site. Centers cross territory lines for these, which is what the overlaps below are for.
All 8 states assigned to Jackson are also assigned to another center. That is deliberate, not an accident of the map. It means the nearest available crew takes the work rather than the one the territory line says owns it.

Five more crews,
covering the rest.
Coverage is all 48 contiguous states. If your plant is outside this territory, one of these is the one that reaches it.
