Why Mississippi for Intermodal Operations

The Southeast is one of the nation's strongest dry van markets, fueled by Atlanta's role as a distribution hub and Florida's massive consumer base. Savannah and Charleston ports generate steady import freight, while automotive manufacturing in Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina adds reliable contract lanes. Deadhead rates are generally favorable thanks to high freight density along the I-75 and I-85 corridors.

Mississippi Advantages

  • Lowest fuel tax in the region reduces per-mile operating costs
  • Nissan Canton and Toyota Blue Springs plants create auto parts freight
  • Abundant truck parking throughout the state
