430 Miles, One Interstate, One State to Cross
Getting to Jackson is mostly a Louisiana story. I-20 leaves Azle heading east, threads through Shreveport, continues on to Monroe, crosses the Mississippi at the state line, and rolls straight into Jackson without ever switching to a different highway. Dalton Reese pays more attention to the Shreveport-Monroe stretch than to the river crossing near the finish; that middle section of Louisiana, with its smaller towns and slower signals, is where a morning can actually lose time.
Colton’s crew treats this as a same-day lane for most households: load up in Azle, cross Louisiana, and have the Jackson house unloaded well within the day. It only stretches longer when a house is big enough that the walkthrough calls for extra time on the Jackson end, something Reagan Voss would flag well ahead of the actual pickup.
Jackson has its own split worth knowing about. Fondren and Belhaven, close to downtown, are older neighborhoods with narrower streets — easy for our standard truck, but placement sometimes needs a quick call ahead of time. Madison and Rankin County, on the other hand, are newer growth areas where the houses run bigger and some subdivisions keep their own move-in schedules.
