Whenever an escort is required
- the civilian length trigger is a carrier-reported figure pending direct MDOT confirmation.
Each example changes one dimension from a legal 8′6″ wide, 13′6″ high, 75′, 80,000 lb tractor-trailer. Real moves often combine several. “Set by permit” means Mississippi decides that case on the permit itself. Permits can add conditions of their own, so check yours before you move.
