Phoenix is the fastest-expanding distribution market in the country by absorption. Industrial net absorption across the metro reached 9.4 million square feet in the first half of 2026, a 114% increase on the same period in 2025, with demand outpacing new supply. Warehouses generate commercial stops, and that is the demand signal underneath an Arizona route package.
Tucson and the border corridor to Nogales are a separate market with their own cross-border freight profile. See buying a FedEx route in Phoenix.
FedEx route businesses are priced on cash flow, not revenue and not route count. Across the route businesses Route Advisors currently has listed, asking prices run from 1.6x to 6.0x annual cash flow, median 3.6x; FedEx Ground P&D packages specifically run 2.7x to 5.4x.
Arizona’s minimum wage is $15.15 an hour, having passed $15 for the first time in 2026. Heat is the Arizona-specific cost line and it is substantial: vehicle cooling, tyre and battery replacement, and driver retention through summer are real expenses a temperate-market profit and loss statement will understate.
Ask specifically how an operation staffs and services June through September before you accept a full-year average as representative.
Current Arizona inventory includes a seven-run Amazon Relay package based in Phoenix, asking $999,500 against $293,916 in cash flow. Relay linehaul and FedEx Ground P&D are different assets and should not be compared on price alone.

I am writing to highly recommend Miriam for her exceptional services in facilitating FedEx route transactions.
I purchased my first set of FedEx routes in 2018, and the business grew fourfold following the pandemic. As I reached retirement age, I decided to sell my routes and hired Miriam to manage the process. She successfully facilitated the sale of one portion in 2022 and the remaining two portions in 2025.
Throughout our four transactions together, one purchase and three sales, Miriam demonstrated extensive knowledge of the FedEx process. During a complex partial sale of my entire CSA, she was instrumental in gathering all the necessary data required for the bank to secure financing for the buyer.
I strongly recommend her services to anyone looking to sell their FedEx routes.

I recently listed my Fedex routes with Route Advisors and had a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Miriam and her team were professional and easy to work with, helping at each stage to make sure we completed all steps to get to closing.
In particular, they found a suitable buyer very quickly (within weeks of listing) and vetted the buyer before we moved to due diligence. We then had weekly calls to progress toward closing. The requirements were clear, advice was sound and decision points were presented with plenty of time to make good choices. We were able to move to closing in less than six months, achieving the deal structure and price that was beneficial to us and the buyer.
I highly recommend Route Advisors. Personal service, highly attentive and responsive (we were two time zones apart and I never felt ignored and never had a call that was missed), overall an A+.

Route Advisors was referred to me by a colleague, a former FedEx ISP contractor who successfully sold his business through Miriam. I interviewed approximately four different brokers before deciding to work with Route Advisors. My decision was based on my colleague’s successful experience with them and, more importantly, their extensive knowledge of handling complex FedEx transactions.
Route Advisors ultimately sold my business at a price higher than I had expected. Throughout the transaction, Miriam was involved every step of the way. She connected the buyer with a lender experienced in FedEx transactions, guided both the buyer and seller through the entire sales process, helped the buyer prepare the RFI, and coached the buyer for the interview with FedEx.
I was very pleased with the experience and the outcome. After the sale of my business, I referred Miriam and Route Advisors to another colleague who was also looking to sell his FedEx business. She successfully sold his business as well.
Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend Miriam and Route Advisors to FedEx contractors considering selling their businesses.
