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.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
