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

ShipACar did a terrific job getting my tractor and miscellaneous equipment from New York to South Carolina. Bob Moran found the best possible trucker for the job. I never shipped anything like this before, but Bob put me at ease and kept in touch through the whole process. When the equipment arrived I wasn’t sure if I was going to

Riding my motorcycle cross-country from Florida, up to Jasper Canada, and down to California put a hurting on my hands. I was looking to cut out the San Francisco section of our trip and have the bike shipped to Carson City NV. I needed the bike there in two weeks; by the end of September. Two major shippers said they could not get the bike there until October. Then I had the good fortune of connecting with Ship a Car Inc. Steve Goodman handled my request and said they could do it. I was a bit nervous as Steve took a couple days to arrange transport and call me. But he came through and got the bike transported quicker than I would have expected. Since we were already in San Francisco, I called the shop in Eureka CA where I had left the bike for pick-up. As Steve had said, the bike was transported in an enclosed truck. The shop told me the driver was very professional and took a long time to make sure my bike was loaded and secured properly. I then called the shop in Carson City where the bike was to be delivered. They told me the bike was already there, that the driver had taken great care with my bike, and that he seemed very professional. This was a very difficult time-frame to deal with. This was not a pre-scheduled transportation issue. It was a last-minute decision on my part. The location of the pick-up shop in Eureka CA was only an every two-week area for the two other shippers I had tried. Steve Goodman and Ship a Car Inc came through. They saved our vacation and I am grateful, extremely grateful for the professionalism displayed. I would use their service again… in a heartbeat.

Efficient and communicated from beginning to end. Bob Moran was superb in how he handled my urgent need to get me moved. From the dispatcher, Rose, to the kind driver, Ted, all treated my urgency with respect. My car was picked up 1 day sooner and delivered on time and was I happy. I had previously booked with another company and had to cancel after waiting for them 3 days with still no driver. Bob called as a follow up call and let him take over as soon as I cancelled with other company. He worked fast in arranging and taking care of our needs. Thank you

Worked with Quinten Putnam. Had never shipped a car before so was unaware of the process, but he was nothing short of amazing. I knew exactly what to expect, and even got a cheaper price than we both were expecting. Pick up of the car was incredibly easy and on time. When I ship a car again, it will definitely be with this company. Would give the highest recommendation to anyone wanting to ship their car.

Joseph Gorfien at shipacarinc was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive each step of the shipment of my four seater golf car from picking it up on Marco Island to delivery in Roswell Ga. - picked up on the 4th and delivered on the 5th just as quoted which was a reasonable price. Thank you Joseph!

I have to say It was a great experience! Kristina went above and beyond to help me get my car shipped to Juneau, Ak from Ohio. It was difficult to even have a conversation with my remote cell coverage, quite the challenge. She was professional and delightful, when I’m ready to return I will use their services again.

I needed my Dad's '86 TBird brought from Odessa to Dallas so I can restore her to her original beauty. My Dad is gone now and he loved this car. I cried to Pepper about my situation. She is wonderful! Thank you, for bringing the Golden Eagle home!

Paid $900 + to have my car shipped from Colorado to South Carolina. Helped the driver load my car onto a flat bed on 6/23/16, armed my alarm, and filled out paperwork, and paid the requested cash amount. The Car was to be delivered at my mother-in laws house on 6/25/16. The Driver stated that this would not be an issue. I told him that it wasn't a huge deal if it took another day or so. The 25th came around so I text and called the driver and asked him to please arrange a time with my mother-in law so she will be home to receive the car. He said that he would right away, she never received any call. The next day I called again to no response, so I called shipacar and had no response from them. Finally received a call telling me that the driver broke his leg and his boss would be delivering the car, still no exact date or time. A Couple of days go by and the car finally shows up at her house with not the original driver, not the boss, but a part time college kid. This was the early afternoon on 6/28/16, Three Days Late. The driver and the company didn't know that I have a gps system built into my alarm. My car basically stayed parked at the guys home for two days. So the late delivery isn't even the worst part about this who process. Keep in mind that we are driving across the country this whole time. We finally arrive in SC on 6/30/16. Checked out my car and everything looked ok. Went for a drive to go say hello to my parents and on my way there was some sort of smell in my car. Was tired that night so didn't pay much attention to it. The next morning I decide to check out my car a little further and in the rear door panel inside a plastic truck stop bag was one opened and drank Fosters Beer Can and one Full Can. So that is why my car smelled like crap, it was from an open beer can. I am absolutely livid at this point because not only did someone unlock my car when they had no need to enter my car, someone was drinking in my car. Who knows what else they did in my car? I call ship a car and tell them what has happened and they were astounded. They call the company that "They Hired" and ask their side. I then get a call from the company telling me that it was my beer or I let someone drive my car and they left it in there. I explain to him that no one has every borrowed my car and I certainly don't drink fosters or have every known anyone that does, or shops at a pilot truck stop. We go back and forth with the owner of the transport company and all he can say is that he is very sorry and he will fire the driver. I am pretty sure that they are related because when we said fosters beer he changed his tune. Anyway I see why they deal in cash because they are not willing to do any refund. No to Shipacar, I explain to them how if I were pulled over driving my car with that beer and open container in the car I would have probably lost my license. They were apologetic and said they will try to get money back from the transport company, which I thought this whole time was them. They got me in touch with a supervisor who only offered to refund me $100.00. After we paid them $300+ , I asked that if they can't return the money that the driver received the next best thing would to do the honorable thing and refund all the money they got on their end. They were absolutely unwilling to make things right and just eat it on their side of the deal. In the end I would say forgo hiring a middle man like this because they pretty much sell your transport to any looser that they have in their system. Just go and find a transport company that actually ships your car and save some money.
