How freight moves in Mississippi
Freight in Mississippi runs on I-10, I-20, I-22, I-55, I-59 and I-269. Ocean and river cargo moves through Port of Gulfport, Port of Pascagoula, Port of Vicksburg and Port of Greenville. The state's economy leans on poultry and row-crop agriculture, shipbuilding and Gulf Coast port cargo, forestry and wood products and furniture and automotive manufacturing, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Mississippi
- Seasonal conditions
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and Gulf Coast routes such as I-10 and I-110 and port operations at Gulfport and Pascagoula can be disrupted by tropical storms.
Overwidth loads may not move in inclement weather, meaning visibility under 500 ft or pavement, wind or weather conditions that make travel hazardous, and movement is prohibited on posted bridges.
MDOT's annual Harvest Permit lets trucks hauling agricultural products and unprocessed forestry products use state highways, but not Interstates, at up to 80,000 lb gross with a 10 percent tolerance over the vehicle's gross weight rating.
- If you are moving to the state
New residents have 30 days to register a vehicle in Mississippi if they hold a current registration or valid plate from their previous state, and missing the deadline brings late fees plus an additional penalty. Source ↗
