Where a Pearl delivery comes from

Pearl is priced off two supplier depots: New Orleans, LA (about 196 road miles, I-10 / I-59 east into Hancock and Pearl River counties) and Memphis, TN (about 223 miles). The order goes against whichever has your grade in stock; the delivered price is the same either way. Published lead time is 3–7 business days from the day we confirm the order with you.

Placement and permits in Pearl

Pearl's 2020 Zoning Ordinance, Section 408 'Portable Storage Units', is the clearest text in the metro: a PSU may be located in any district, but in a residential district it may not exceed 130 square feet, only one per site, it must sit on the driveway at least 10 ft from the curb, it must be kept locked, and it may not stay more than 30 days (45 with a valid building permit; longer after a disaster or fire). A 20ft container is 160 sq ft, so it is not a PSU — it is an accessory building under §401.05: never in the required front or side yard, allowed in the rear yard within the setbacks, no more than 10% of the rear yard, and no taller than 20 ft. The Community Development Department (2420 Old Brandon Rd; office 601-932-3526, building inspector 601-932-3528) answers.

Will the truck make it in? Pearl lots

Tilt-bed truck sliding a 20ft container onto a gravel pad — the truck backs in, tilts, and the box slides off the back

Pearl is mostly 1970s–90s subdivisions (median home built 1982) with modest lots and few HOAs, so the city's rear-yard-only rule is the constraint rather than a committee: the box has to get past the house, and side-yard gate width decides whether a tilt-bed can do it. Lots along the Pearl River bottom on the west side flooded in 1979 and were in the 2020 threat area; the commercial strip along Highway 80 and the Pearl industrial lots off I-20 are routine drops.

The non-negotiables are the same everywhere: a straight run of about 60 ft for a 20ft and 100 ft for a 40ft, 14 ft of clear overhead the whole way, and level, firm ground where the box lands. A truck that cannot complete the drop is a billable trip.

Pearl questions

Does Pearl allow a shipping container on a residential lot?

Not as a Portable Storage Unit — those are capped at 130 sq ft, on the driveway, 30 days. A 20ft or 40ft container is an accessory building: rear yard, inside the setbacks, under 10% of the rear yard. Call Community Development (601-932-3526) with the parcel address for the permit answer.

What does a container delivered to Pearl cost?

The prices above are delivered to ZIP 39208 and include the truck — about 196 road miles from New Orleans for a 20ft and 223 from Memphis for a 40ft.
