Colorado to Mississippi Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to Mississippi is a three- to six-day trip to the Deep South. Dallas-Fort Worth traffic, the Memphis river crossing, spring storms and hurricanes on the coast cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Dallas-Fort Worth Traffic
Routes from Colorado to the Gulf states pass through or around Dallas-Fort Worth, where the freeways are some of the most crowded in the country. Drivers try to time the metro area for off-peak hours.
The Memphis River Crossing
Trucks headed southeast from Colorado often cross the Mississippi at Memphis. When inspectors found a crack in the I-40 bridge in 2021, it was shut for nearly three months, and a crash on either Memphis bridge can still back traffic up for miles.
Hurricane Season
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. When a storm threatens Gulfport, Biloxi and the Mississippi coast, carriers may hold deliveries until the roads reopen and evacuation traffic clears.
Spring Storms in Mississippi
From March through May, Mississippi gets strong storms with hail, high winds and tornadoes. Carriers pull over and wait out the worst of it, which can add a few hours or a day.
Tip: Register Within 30 Days in Mississippi
Mississippi gives new residents 30 days to register at the county Tax Collector's office, as long as your Colorado registration is still current, and you will also need a Mississippi driver's license. Registering late brings penalties, including a $250 fine.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.
