Tennessee → Alabama · Interstate 40 / Interstate 55
Wrapping up the trip, the homebound leg from Memphis, Tennessee, back to Birmingham, Alabama, layers another 411 km (255 miles) onto the odometer along Interstate 40 / Interstate 55 and tacks on roughly 3h 55m to the cumulative day. Drivers leaving Memphis, the Mississippi River blues capital and the global FedEx superhub, usually pull into Birmingham, the largest city in Alabama and former steel-industry capital of the Deep South, with an empty calendar but an inbox of paperwork — toll receipts, fuel invoices, visit reports, and meeting minutes all need to be tagged inside the cab before they get tangled with other paper stacks at the office. Average fuel spend on the return holds near $34.41 for the 37.4 liters (9.9 gallons) burned. Mileage reimbursement for the homeward stretch totals $176.73 at the $0.43/km benchmark.
