Timing
When to Ship South Dakota to Mississippi
Weather on both ends sets the timing.
Dakota Winter
From November through March, blizzards on I-90 and I-29 can push a South Dakota pickup back a day or more.
Kansas City Traffic
Rush hour on I-435 and I-70 around Kansas City can add hours. Drivers time their run around it.
Spring Storms
From March through May, severe weather across Mississippi can hold a truck a few hours.
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.
Oxford Square
Streets around the Square and campus are packed on game weekends. Pick a weekday and a nearby lot.
Rural Roads
Gravel and narrow country roads aren't safe for a loaded carrier after rain. Plan to meet in town.
Sioux Falls Pickups
Sioux Falls, Brandon, Tea, and Harrisburg sit right where I-29 and I-90 meet, so carriers pass through every week in both directions. Most neighborhoods have room for a carrier, or a lot close to the interstate.
