Captain Redneck strikes again!
Check out this press release issued by the Mississippi Department of Insurance:
The State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) is reminding residents that manufactured homes must be moved by properly licensed movers, in compliance with state law.
On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Stephen Goodlow moved a manufactured home in Scott County without the required license. The home became stuck and blocked a public highway. It was also damaged significantly during the incident and ultimately had to be demolished before it could be removed from the roadway.
Goodlow was cited by the SFMO for illegally moving a manufactured home. He is scheduled to appear in Scott County Justice Court in October on this charge. Goodlow was also cited at the scene by the Mississippi Highway Patrol for operating without a commercial driver’s license and operating without insurance.
SFMO hopes this incident reminds people that manufactured homes must be transported by properly licensed movers and in compliance with all applicable permitting, licensing, insurance, and highway-safety requirements.
The charges against this individual are allegations, and individuals facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Scott County gonna Scott County.
That looks like a doublelong instead of a doublewide...
What does a tornado and a divorce have in common in Rankin (maybe Scott) county? Someone's going to lose a mobile home.
That’s like the longest mobile home I’ve ever seen.
I’ve heard the term “double wide” before, but this looks like a “double long” to me.
From Wikipedia:
Double Long Mobile Homes (DLMH) were a form of manufactured housing popular from 1973 until the 1982 when the NHTSB banned the transportation of DLMH’s on Interstate highways
I had no idea this was a thing!
Probably housed over one hundred illegal aliens, easily, over the years working for Sid's poultry farming pals.
Man nobody can move that thing.
Oh yeah? Hold my beer bitch!
I would verify for sure that this was in Scott County. Looks a lot like Madison to me.
You might be a red neck if your richest relative gets a new house and you have to go help them take the wheels off
This is a very moving story.
I am willing to bet money the reason an unlicensed transporter was used was because the licensed transporters inspected the trailer and found it unfit for moving. They recommended demolition onsite but the owner wanted it relocated any way. They got Stephen to do it because someone's cousin knew someone who had their dilapidated, termite infested trailer successfully moved by Goodlow.
The rest is Mississippi History.
If they were smart they called a pest control company and a commercial wrecker.
That thing has to be just crawling with the bugs of all sorts.
Troll alert.
Hold my beer, it'll buff out.
Fun Fact: No permit needed to Go To Jail!
I looks nicer now than before the move-
I would rather live in a 40 year old trailer on acreage in rural Scott/Rankin or Madison county than live anywhere in the City of Jackson.
