Heavy Haul Trucking in Mississippi
R&RM LLC — based in Cumming, Georgia — has been providing professional heavy haul transport across the Southeast and nationwide since 2011. Mississippi is a core corridor for our operations, sitting at the crossroads of Gulf Coast energy, the agricultural Mississippi Delta, and a growing industrial manufacturing base. Whether you need to move a Cat excavator out of Jackson, haul oilfield equipment along the Gulf Coast, or transport construction machinery through the Mississippi Delta, we have the equipment, permits, and experience to get it done.
Our Mississippi heavy haul services cover every county in the state, from the northernmost tip near Memphis to the Gulf of Mexico coastline at Gulfport and Biloxi. We handle oversize load permits through the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) and coordinate pilot car escorts and route surveys whenever required.

Heavy Haul Services Available in Mississippi
- RGN Trailers for Mississippi Hauls: Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailers are ideal for Mississippi's construction and agricultural equipment. Drive-on loading eliminates the need for cranes or rigging for most tracked equipment, lowering cost and speeding up loading.
- Oversize Load Permits — MDOT: Mississippi DOT issues single-trip and annual oversize permits. We handle the paperwork, route surveys, and pilot car coordination from pickup through delivery.
- Overweight Permits: Mississippi's standard legal gross weight is 80,000 lbs. Loads exceeding that threshold require overweight permits, which we obtain through MDOT's online permitting system.
- Construction Equipment Hauling: Excavators, crawler cranes, bulldozers, motor graders, and compactors — we transport the full range of heavy construction machinery throughout Mississippi.
- Agricultural Equipment Transport: Mississippi Delta farms operate some of the largest combines, planters, and cotton pickers in the country. We specialize in dealer-to-dealer and dealer-to-farm transport for oversized ag equipment across the Delta region.
- Industrial & Oilfield Equipment: Generators, compressors, transformers, and drilling support equipment for the oil and gas operations concentrated in the Gulf Coast counties and Southeast Mississippi.
- Pilot Car Arrangement: When Mississippi oversize permits require pilot car escorts — typically for loads exceeding 14 feet wide or 16 feet tall — we coordinate certified escorts through established networks across the state.
Mississippi DOT Permit Requirements
The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) administers all oversize and overweight permits through its online portal. Key permit thresholds for Mississippi include:
- Width over 8'6": Oversize permit required; pilot car required over 14 feet wide
- Height over 13'6": Oversize permit required; advance route survey for loads over 16 feet
- Length over 75 feet: Oversize permit required; pilot car required over 110 feet overall
- Gross weight over 80,000 lbs: Overweight permit required with axle-by-axle configuration filing
- Night moves: MDOT restricts oversize moves to daylight hours with additional requirements for holiday travel blackout periods
- Bridge analysis: Required for extremely heavy loads on state routes with posted bridge weight limits — we perform route verification before every oversized move

Mississippi's Key Transportation Corridors
Mississippi's highway system connects the state to major distribution and industrial centers in the Deep South. Our drivers know these corridors well:
- Interstate 55: The main north-south spine of Mississippi — runs from the Tennessee state line near Memphis south through Jackson and on to the Louisiana line near Hammond. Primary corridor for Jackson-area equipment moves.
- Interstate 20: East-west through Jackson and Meridian — connects Mississippi to Alabama (Birmingham) on the east and Louisiana (Monroe/Shreveport) on the west. Critical for Central Mississippi and East Mississippi industrial moves.
- Interstate 10: Gulf Coast corridor — runs east-west along the beachfront from Pascagoula through Biloxi, Gulfport, and Bay St. Louis into Louisiana. Key for oilfield and port equipment.
- Interstate 59: Southeast Mississippi — connects Hattiesburg to Birmingham, Alabama, serving the timber and manufacturing sectors of South Mississippi.
- US Highway 61: The historic Delta corridor from Memphis south through Clarksdale, Greenville, and Vicksburg — serves the agricultural heartland of the Mississippi Delta.
- US Highway 45: North-south connector serving Columbus, Meridian, and the Golden Triangle manufacturing corridor.
- US Highway 49: Links Hattiesburg to Jackson to the Delta — important for central Mississippi construction and agricultural moves.
Industries Driving Heavy Haul Demand in Mississippi
Mississippi's economy generates consistent heavy haul freight across several sectors:
Agriculture — The Mississippi Delta
The Mississippi Delta is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the United States, producing cotton, soybeans, rice, corn, and catfish at commercial scale. The equipment required — row crop combines, cotton pickers, grain carts, and sprayer rigs — frequently exceeds highway legal dimensions and weights. We regularly haul agricultural equipment throughout the Delta for dealerships and farm operations from Tunica County south to Warren County.
Oil, Gas & Energy — Gulf Coast
South Mississippi and the Gulf Coast counties support offshore oil and gas operations with onshore staging, compressor stations, and pipeline infrastructure. Industrial generators, gas compression equipment, and drilling support machinery move regularly through this corridor — much of it requiring RGN trailers or step-deck transport with oversize permits.
Manufacturing & Aerospace
Mississippi has attracted significant manufacturing investment, particularly in the Golden Triangle region (Columbus, Starkville, West Point) and the automotive supply chain in North Mississippi near Tupelo. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in East Mississippi supports industrial barge traffic, and large plant equipment moves are common in this region.
Construction
Jackson's ongoing infrastructure projects, Gulf Coast hurricane recovery and rebuilding, and growth along the I-55 corridor generate steady demand for construction equipment transport — excavators, bulldozers, compactors, tower cranes, and concrete equipment.
Neighboring States We Connect Mississippi To
Mississippi's location makes it a natural waypoint for multi-state heavy haul moves. We regularly transport equipment between Mississippi and:
- Alabama: I-20/59 connects Meridian to Birmingham and Mobile — common for industrial and construction equipment moving between the Deep South states
- Tennessee: I-55 runs Memphis to Jackson — major corridor for equipment originating or terminating in the Mid-South region
- Louisiana: I-55 and I-10 connect Mississippi to New Orleans and Baton Rouge — oilfield and petrochemical equipment frequently moves this route
- Arkansas: The Delta agriculture region straddles the Mississippi River, and equipment moves between Mississippi and Arkansas Delta counties are common during planting and harvest seasons
- Georgia: Our home base — we run I-20 between Atlanta and Jackson regularly for construction and industrial equipment
