Where a Richland delivery comes from

Richland is priced off two supplier depots: New Orleans, LA (about 192 road miles, I-10 / I-59 east into Hancock and Pearl River counties) and Memphis, TN (about 219 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 Richland

Richland adopted a new Official Zoning Ordinance in 2022 (amended February 2025), but the city serves the PDF behind a bot check and we could not read it, so we make no claim about a container rule here. What the city's own documents say: development starts with the City Development Officer at City Hall (380 Scarbrough St, 601-932-3000), and the Building Official / Zoning Administrator administers the ordinance. Call with the parcel address before ordering; Code Enforcement is 601-420-1610.

Start here: City of Richland — development process (Subdivision of Land ordinance). We link to the city rather than restate it: these rules change, and the city's page is the one that counts.

Will the truck make it in? Richland lots

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

Richland is the metro's natural container ground: the Highway 49 corridor is the most active industrial strip in the Jackson MSA — truck and equipment dealers, Richland Industrial Park, about 54,000 vehicles a day — and those yards have the run, the surface and the habit of taking a 40ft off a tilt-bed. Residential Richland south of Highway 49 is older small-lot stock where the rear-yard access has to be checked. North Richland was in the state's 2020 Pearl River threat area and was among the towns emptied by the 1979 flood.

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.
