Can you pick up at a jobsite in Gulfport?
Yes. Tell us whether there is a ramp, a forklift or a crane for loading and what the access is like; the carrier confirms it with you before arrival.
What if the machine leaves Mississippi?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Gulfport, the closest neighbor is Louisiana: New Orleans is about 65 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Truck Permit Office (DOTD). Alabama is next, through the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).
