Everything You Need to Know About the State of Mississippi (MS)

The Magnolia State of Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state in 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Early inhabitants of the area that became Mississippi included the Choctaw, Natchez and Chickasaw. Spanish explorers arrived in the region in 1540 but it was the French who established the first permanent settlement in present-day Mississippi in 1699. 

During the first half of the 19th century, Mississippi was the top cotton producer in the United States, and owners of large plantations depended on the labor of black slaves. Mississippi seceded from the Union in 1861 and suffered greatly during the American Civil War. Despite the abolition of slavery, racial discrimination endured in Mississippi, and the state was a battleground of the Civil Rights Movement in the mid-20th century. In the early 21st century, Mississippi ranked among America’s poorest states. 

The state capital is Jackson and it takes the state motto-Virtute et armis (“By valor and arms”). 

In 1817, the Magnolia State of Mississippi joined the Union when it became the 20th state. It derives its name from the Mississippi River, which is also its western border. Early occupants of the area that grew into Mississippi include the Choctaw, Natchez, and Chickasaw. In 1540, Spanish explorers moved into the area. Still, it was until 1699 that the French established the first permanent settlement in present-day Mississippi.
In the early 19th century, Mississippi was recognized as the top cotton producer in the country. At that time, large plantation owners largely depended on the labor of enslaved black people. In 1861, Mississippi withdrew from the Union and took a tremendous hit during the American Civil War. Although slavery had ended, it was still very rampant in Mississippi, alongside racial discrimination. By the 20th century, the state had become a battleground of the Civil Rights Movement.
The state’s capital is Jackson, and its motto is “Virtute et armis," meaning "By valor and arms.”
The Blues musical genre originated from the Mississippi Delta after the Civil War. Enslaved people sang the songs as they worked in the fields.
Dr. James D. Hardy performed the world’s first human lung transplant in 1963 at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson. In 1964, he conducted another transferring the heart of a chimpanzee into a dying patient. That was the first heart transplant surgery in the world.
Mississippi is responsible for the production of roughly 60% of America’s farm-raised catfish. The production of catfish commercially started in the mid-1960s. The Mississippi Delta city of Belzoni, termed the Catfish Capital of the World, has a catfish museum and hosts an annual catfish festival.
Mississippi is the only state in America that legally allows beer consumption in cars.

The Shipping Process

Having your car shipped to or from Mississippi is not troublesome and can be done in a few simple steps. They are:

  1. Choosing a Company

This is one of the most crucial steps of the process as it determines how smooth or problematic your transport experience is. Hence, it is vital that you only choose a company after careful and detailed consideration. The details to look out for when choosing a company will be discussed later.

  1. Schedule Pick-up

After shipping terms have been settled with your select car shipping company, you will schedule a pick-up date and time most suitable for you. The company will then ship your car to your destination of choice. 

  1. Delivery

Upon shipment, you or your representatives may receive your car at the agreed delivery location.

  1. Damages Check

After receiving your vehicle, you should inspect your car to ensure there were no damages in the shipment. If there are any damages, make sure that everything is clearly labled on the bill of lading and make sure to let your company know about it prior to you filing a claim with the carriers’ insurance company. 

Tips for Choosing the Best Car Shipping Company

There are several car shipping companies in Mississippi. Unfortunately, some of them are out to exploit unsuspecting customers. Hence, the need to be adequately informed on what to look for in choosing the right car shipping company is of the utmost importance. The following are factors to be considered:

  1. Insurance Coverage

The terms surrounding the insurance policy of a shipping company must be spelled out. The protection of your car lies with the motor carrier for the duration it is under their care. This means that the carrier bears the cost of any damage to your car in that period. You will have to bear the costs if the carrier does not have suitable insurance coverage.  SAC provides additional insurance coverage for extra protection and peace of mind.

  1. Quote

This factor is equally as important. You should ensure the quote you receive is detailed enough to present all the information about what you are to pay for. There should be no ambiguity whatsoever. If you are uncertain about anything, request that a clarification be made. 

You should also confirm the length of the quote’s validity. Typically, quotes are only valid for 48 hours due to frequent price changes.

  1. Payment Options

Car shipping companies are not all open to the same payment options. In making your choice, you should confirm that your preferred payment option is available for you to choose from.

  1. Availability for Delivery

It is possible that you will be unable to pick up your vehicle personally. If someone else has to receive your car on your behalf, you should confirm that your shipping company is open to your delivery arrangements.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Car Shipping in Mississippi
  1. Location

The location of your pick-up and delivery location significantly affects the cost of shipping your car. You stand to pay less if your pick-up and delivery points are in areas that are easily accessible. Areas with less accessibility cost more. 

  1. Distance

Similarly, the distance to be covered shipping your car also determines how much it costs. Farther distances cost more than shorter ones. Hence, you can expect to pay more if your pick-up location is far from the delivery point.

  1. Vehicle Specification

The size and weight of your car determine its shipping costs. Smaller and lighter vehicles cost less than big and weight ones as they occupy less space in the cargo container.

All transactions regarding shipping my new car from SC to NY went smooth. Willie D. handled the transfer and was eager to answer all my questions . It was my first time shipping a car so I was a little anxious. He reassured me everything was done professionally and that everyone involved in the transfer were highly experienced. The car came in perfect condition in a very timely manner. Thank you Willie D. for making it so easy. I would not hesitate to recommend your services at shipacarinc.com.

My husband and I just had our cars delivered by a Ship A Car and we have to say that the service provided by them was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The driver said he would arrive to pick up our cars at Noon and let me say he was there exactly at Noon. Our cars were picked up on a Saturday and by Wednesday afternoon we had them (picked up in New York and dropped off in Florida). We would highly recommend this company.

Excellent customer service from Dana Briones from inquiry until the successful drop off of my new car from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, CA. She was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, reassuring and made herself available when I called to check on the location of my car after 4 days. I was also provided with the driver's full name and cell phone number. I most appreciate that Dana was honest about the estimated transport pick up and delivery time frame. The driver Alex was the absolute best. He called me and the car dealership the morning he picked up my new car. We spoke about 4 days later and he told me his expected delivery day. On that day, he texted me to let me know the time based on his GPS. He arrived earlier than expected. This was my first time purchasing a car from the internet, from another state and using an auto transportation company. I did have anxiety in the beginning. However, EVERYTHING went smooth and I have nothing but great things to say about Dana and Ship a Car Inc.

I was put in charge of having a vintage car shipped (enclosed) from Pennsylvania to Chicago. It was something my brother bought on eBay. Already a little scary to me. So I did a google search, called a bunch of car transporting brokers and found 2 companies I wanted to go with....Ship A Car, Inc and Automobile Guy....turns out they are brother companies...but I liked Danny Transport Coordinator here because he answered ALL 100 questions I rapid fired at him with patience, thoroughness...even when I called him back several times. The car was picked up when the seller was ready to ship (a few days) and delivered to Chicago the very next morning. In PERFECT condition! I received several follow up calls from Danny to report the pickup and arrival time! I HIGHLY recommend this company and if you can get Danny on the phone I have no doubt you will get the service you are looking for!!

My experience with DANA was amazing. She was very profesional from the first phone call. I will give her 10/10 in keeping up with communication when I was concerned with the Truck driver and his lack of communication. Car was picked up on time and delivery was on time. (PA to CA move was done in 4 days). I did have some issue with the truck driver regarding pickup and delivery timings but Dana kept good communication with me. I have a new 2019 model of luxury car and it was delivered in very good condition. Please ask for Dana when you call.

Not a good experience with Ship a Car. First off, they were $300 more than other shippers in the area, but I used them based on their good reputation. I was assured that their company picked up and delivered on the days requested. Well, I requested they car be picked up on Saturday or Sunday, which I was assured it would be. However, the car wasn't picked up until Monday evening. I also requested the car to be delivered on Tuesday or Thursday. It was delivered on Wednesday morning during rush hour. The driver blocked the neighbors driveway, and had to move the truck. The driver also told me the wrong amount owed, and when he came I had to run to the ATM to get more cash. At no time during this process did the company call me to advise me of the changes in pickup and delivery. I emailed the gentleman at Ship a Car stating my dissatisfaction, get promised to get back to me in a day or two. As of this review it has been four days with no callback. I would advise people to choose another option when shipping an automobile.

I needed to transport my car from Kentucky to Nevada. I requested a quote and received one via email. I then received a phone call from Bob M. Bob worked with me explaining the process for shipping a car and once I had sent in my paperwork he went to work finding a driver to transport my car. When the first driver's dispatcher called to let me know my driver's truck broke down, I immediately called Bob and explained the situation. He got to work finding a new driver for my car. Having Bob on my side, to arrange this transport was a huge relief to me and I was glad to know that things would be taken care of. My car arrived on time (actually it was there before I was expecting it) and l was very pleased with this company. I would highly recommend them and Bob M. to anyone looking to ship a vehicle safely and with no worries. Thank you.

Ship a Car Inc. , located in Coral Springs, FL XXXXX, moved our car from the East Coast to the West Coast at a great price, on an expedited schedule and delivered all services exactly as promised. We found the car moving industry is unfortunately full of companies who promise everything, and deliver nothing. (Not So at Ship a Car Inc. ) Danny (XXX-XXX-XXXX), at Ship a Car was easy to work with and always followed up with us to successfully complete our move.

I have never shipped a car before, so did the normal thing and jumped on the internet and started doing research. Ship a Car was highly rated, so I contacted them. I spoke to Marrine. She was friendly, informative and explained the entire process. She explained the difference between open and enclosed transport. She worked up two quotes for me based on both and e-mailed me each quote so I could read and make an informed decision. I was shipping the car (Mercedes C300) from Utah to Virginia. After speaking with my brother whom I was getting the vehicle from he said ENCLOSED !!!. He shipped the vehicle out to UT and his moving company did all the arrangements. They DID NOT use Ship a Car. It was shipped on an open car trailer and when the Mercedes and their Mini Van showed up, they had 850$ in damage and 240 miles on the Mini-Van. Again they DID NOT use Ship a Car. So I went with the enclosed transport option. It was actually only about 300$ more dollars than I figured out it would cost me to fly out, take time off work and then drive back. Also, I would be putting 2K miles on the vehicle. No brainer....Ship it. The car was picked up and delivered on time. Pay close attention to the process that is explained to you. Ship a Car is a booking service and only works with highly rated drivers/companies. They basically write the contract and put it out there for drivers who they approve. Once your contract is picked up by a driver, you are good to go. I had no issues with booking, the car was picked up on the day they said and was dropped of early. The driver was great and the car, although yes it needed a washing (it just came from UT, it was not gross, but yes had some grim on it. This was expected, enclosed trailers are not air tight) was in great shape, no damage, and no extra miles on it. I highly recommend this booking company and request Marrine, she was great.
