Overnight truck parking I-55 Mississippi–Louisiana — Hammond to Kentwood, McComb, Jackson, Canton, Winona and Batesville
South-to-north planning list for overnight-capable truck stops on I-55 from Hammond, Louisiana (at I-12), through Kentwood, McComb, Jackson and Pearl, Canton and Winona to Batesville, Mississippi, in exit order. Occupancy is unknown unless a listing says otherwise. This is not a live lot board. Lot List did not load a chain truck stop on I-55 between Batesville and Memphis, or on I-55 in Tennessee, so those are gaps on this page; Memphis has its own city page.

Jackson / Pearl (Pilot #77 and Flying J #678 at I-20) is the big cluster. LaDOTD’s Kentwood rest area (MM 65, southbound, 30 truck spaces) sits just south of the Mississippi line. North of Batesville (Exit 246) there is no chain stop on this list before Memphis. Aim early at published clusters: Hammond / Kentwood: Pilot Dealer #1336 Kentwood (94 public — Exit 61) · McComb: TA McComb #0925 (115 — Exit 13) · Jackson / Pearl / Canton: Flying J #678 Pearl (175 public + 29 Prime — Exit 47) · Winona / Batesville: Pilot #261 Winona (110 public + 17 Prime — Exit 185).

Rest-area overnight framing (lead with this):
Louisiana: no statewide overnight duration rule is published on the LaDOTD Rest Areas page. Mississippi: no official MDOT rest-area overnight rule was located this check. Follow posted signs and prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour break. Not legal advice.

The LaDOTD Rest Areas page lists the I-55 Kentwood Rest Area & Visitor’s Center at Mile Marker 65 (Tangipahoa Parish), southbound only, with 56 auto and 30 truck parking spaces and 12-hour nighttime security. Mississippi I-55 rest-area status was not verified — check MDOT Traffic.
