On average, Mississippi has around 27 tornadoes annually; the northern part of the state has more tornadoes earlier in the year and the southern part has a higher frequency later in the year.

Why AVL Beats DIY
The Hidden Costs of DIY Moves
Renting a truck can look budget-friendly upfront, but fuel, tolls, and unexpected repairs add up fast. The true cost of a DIY move is often higher than people expect.
Full Service, Fair Price
American Van Lines packages professional packing, transport, and delivery into one flat rate. You get a complete moving experience without the guesswork.
Saving Money vs. Saving Yourself
DIY moves require you to handle the heavy lifting, driving, and logistics yourself. American Van Lines takes that off your plate entirely.
What to Expect When Moving From Mississippi
Here's how our process works, from your first call to final delivery:
Request Your Free Quote
Reach out for a free quote with no obligation to book. We'll ask a few quick questions about your home size, timing, and destination to provide a detailed flat-rate estimate.
Meet Your Move Coordinator
After you book, you'll work with a dedicated move coordinator who keeps everything organized, from scheduling and paperwork to any last-minute questions that come up.
Build Your Moving Plan
Want packing help, storage, or specialty handling? We'll customize services based on your needs and budget so you get the support you want and only pay for what you use.
Get Ready for Moving Day
As moving day approaches, we'll send reminders and prep tips. You'll know what to handle ahead of time, what our crew will manage, and how the day will flow.
Loading, Transport, and Updates
On moving day, our team arrives ready to load and secure your items with care. From there, your shipment heads to its destination and you'll receive tracking updates along the way.
Delivery, Setup, and Check-In
When we arrive, we'll unload your belongings and place items where you want them. After delivery, your move coordinator follows up to make sure everything went smoothly.
Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Mississippi
- Research your destination early. Before moving day, look into neighborhoods, schools, and local services where you're headed. Knowing where the nearest grocery store or urgent care is makes settling in faster.
- Pack a first-night bag. Set aside a bag with toiletries, chargers, medications, a change of clothes, and anything else you'll need before the boxes are unpacked.
- Photograph electronics before you disconnect them. Snap a quick photo of the back of your TV, computer setup, and other wired items before you unplug. It'll save you time at your new place.
- Transfer medical records in advance. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records early so you're not scrambling to get care in a new city.
- Watch the calendar for hurricane season. Mississippi sees hurricane season each year, so if you're moving during that window, build extra flexibility into your timeline in case weather affects the route.
