Car shipping from Mississippi to Michigan

920 miles, 2 to 3 days on the truck, and $630 to $820 for a running sedan. Below is where that range comes from and what pushes a quote to either end of it.

Carriers usually run this lane on I-75, picking up I-40 across the middle. Drivers route around weather, roadworks and the other vehicles on the trailer, so that is the usual line rather than a fixed one.

What moves the price

Why a MS to MI quote changes

Two cars on the same lane in the same week can price differently. On 920 miles, these are the factors that actually shift the number.

Price this lane now
  • Market rate, not a rate card

    There is no fixed MS to MI price. Carriers bid for loads, so the number moves with fuel, season and how much freight is heading that way. At roughly 0.78/mi this lane has been sitting between $630 and $820.

  • Which trailer the car travels on

    Around nine in ten vehicles on this lane move open. Enclosed adds roughly 60%, taking it to $1,010-$1,310, and buys four walls, a lift gate and a truck carrying fewer cars.

  • Vehicle size and condition

    Trucks, SUVs and lifted vehicles take more deck space and weight than the sedan those figures assume, typically adding 10 to 25%. Anything that will not roll, steer and brake needs winch loading, which not every carrier on this lane has.

  • Where your addresses sit

    920 miles is the sweet spot for this kind of freight, and most trucks running it are already going. What moves your price is whether both ends sit near the corridor or need a detour to reach.
