Atlanta traffic and Gulf weather set the timing.
Carolina Ice
A few times a winter, ice storms around Charlotte, the Triad, and the mountains can push a pickup back a day.
Atlanta Traffic
Rush hour on I-285 can add hours. Drivers time their run through Atlanta around it.
Gulf Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm can delay Coast deliveries a few days.
Game Days
Oxford and Starkville fill up on fall Saturdays. Weekday delivery is easier.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Mississippi.
Registering in Mississippi
New residents have 30 days to title and register at the county tax collector's office. Mississippi doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check dor.ms.gov for current requirements.
Country Roads
Gravel roads and long drives aren't safe for a loaded carrier. Plan to meet in town or on a main road.
Mississippi Registration
Mississippi has no safety or emissions inspection. New residents register at the county tax collector's office.
Charlotte Pickups
Charlotte, Huntersville, Matthews, and Concord sit where I-77 and I-85 meet, so carriers come through every day. Many newer subdivisions have HOA truck rules or tight cul-de-sacs, so the driver may meet you at the entrance or a lot near the interstate.
