Questions about shipping in Southaven, MS
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Southaven?
In Mississippi they come from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Permit & Motor Carrier Division (MDOT), and if the route crosses other states each one issues its own. They are arranged before pickup, for the exact route.
Can you pick up at a jobsite in Southaven?
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 Southaven, the closest neighbor is Tennessee: Memphis is about 10 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Oversize and Overweight Permit Office (TDOT). Arkansas is next, through the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).
