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.

I cannot say enough positive things about Steve and Ship a Car. This is our second experience in needing to ship a vehicle, but our first experience with this company. We hired this company to help us transport our vehicles from Hawaii to Michigan. Steve either always answered his phone or was extremely prompt in returning my phone calls. Their pricing was extremely competitive and the best price around at the time we booked them. Every detail was explained thoroughly and every question answered. Our vehicles arrived on time, one actually arrived early, with no damage from the transporters dispatched by Ship a Car. If you need to transport a vehicle, I recommend that you give serious consideration to Ship a Car (and Steve).

Pepper Long stayed in contact with us throughout the process. Our car was picked up within the time frame committed to and was delivered on time and without any damage. All parties involved were professional and courteous. We would use this service again if we needed to transport another vehicle.

I had a seamless first-time vehicle transport experience with Ship A Car, inc. I know that is largely because of Bob M., the coordinator who helped me. Personable, patient, professional, always willing to answer further questions, he gave me excellent customer service and I greatly appreciate it! I was so nervous and dreading getting started but Bob put me at ease and I quickly gained great confidence in the company because of his easy and knowledgeable communication. In addition, the driver dispatched to move my car from Los Angeles To St Petersburg, Florida was punctual, called when he was supposed to, prior to pickup/delivery, and made great time completing the transport. He picked up Monday around 2 pm and delivered at 9 am on that Friday. I have nothing but praise for Ship A Car, Inc. and enthusiastically recommend them!

From the initial pricing request to the driver dispatched and vehicle arrival, Justen and his team at Ship A Car, Inc. do everything you’d expect from a professional hauling company. We've hired multiple drivers with Justen through Ship A Car, Inc. for the transportation of our fifth-wheel and they were nothing but accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and available to you throughout the entire shipping process. I can honestly say that this was the fastest most efficient and fairly priced company I’ve ever worked with. The drivers arrive promptly and are able to quickly load your vehicle in the correct manner with respect to your personal property and the safety of your vehicle. Justen helped me feel safe and confident in relying on Ship A Car, Inc. to move our fifth-wheel, it gave me such peace of mind. I constantly receive superior service and have been a repeat customer and have recommended Justen at Ship A Car, Inc. to our co-workers and colleagues. Looking forward to continuing to use Ship A Car, Inc. for all of my transportation needs.
