What we move

Professional mobile home transportation services

mobile home movers in Idaho who plan, permit, and haul

The phrase “mobile home” is misleading. Safe transport requires trained crews, purpose-built dollies and towing, proper securing, and compliance that matches your route and dimensions.

We coordinate measurements, permits, routing, escorts when required, and move-day execution so your structure arrives safely and on schedule.

Portable structures we commonly transport

  • Manufactured homes and mobile homes
  • Park model homes and tiny homes
  • Mobile offices and job site units
  • Modular structures depending on configuration

If you need lifting or specialty work beyond transport, our broader building and home moving capabilities may be a better fit for certain structures.

Process

How a compliant mobile home move works

Every move is different, but the winning formula is boring and reliable: verify dimensions, map the route, secure permits, prep the structure, and haul with the right equipment.

1

Quote and feasibility

We confirm home type, size, condition, pickup access, delivery access, and realistic timing.

2

Permits and route planning

We plan for clearances, restrictions, and escort needs, then coordinate the documentation.

3

Prep and securement

We confirm readiness, secure the structure properly, and stage equipment for safe loading.

4

Transport and delivery

We haul on the planned route, communicate progress, and coordinate delivery logistics at the destination.

Cost drivers

What affects mobile home moving cost

Pricing is not random. These are the variables that usually move the needle.

Factor Why it matters
Home size Single-wide vs double-wide changes equipment, escorts, and route constraints.
Distance and route complexity Clearances, detours, restrictions, and timing windows can add logistics and time.
Permits and escorts Some routes require escorts or specific scheduling to stay compliant.
Site access Tight turns, soft ground, obstacles, and limited staging space can add labor.
Condition and prep Loose skirting, weak steps, unprepared interiors, or unsecured elements increase risk and time.

If your move overlaps with oversize logistics similar to transport operations, our heavy equipment hauling experience translates well to planning and compliance.

Mobile home moving across Idaho

Standard structure relocation is different from mobile home hauling. Manufactured homes often involve oversize rules, permit coordination, route restrictions, and equipment designed specifically for safe transport.

Interstate and long-distance mobile home transport

For longer relocations, we coordinate multi-jurisdiction permits, route planning, and escort requirements when applicable, so your move stays compliant and predictable.

Preparation

Preparing to move your mobile home

Mobile home moving checklist

  • Request a quote and confirm what is included, including permits and escorts when needed.
  • Confirm licensing and insurance, then verify experience with your home type and size.
  • Review route feasibility, including clearances, restrictions, and timing constraints.
  • Prepare the destination site for access, staging, and safe delivery.
  • Disconnect utilities safely and plan for post-move setup and utility coordination.
  • Remove fragile items and secure anything that can shift during transport.

Quick prep notes that prevent delays

Clean access, clear staging space, and a ready destination pad usually save more time than any “hack” ever will.

Utilities: Disconnect power, water, gas, and sewer safely before move day. Septic pumping may be needed prior to disconnection.

Interior: Remove glass, electronics, décor, and loose furniture to reduce shifting and damage.

Exterior: Secure doors, windows, steps, skirting, and any exterior attachments that can snag or flex.

Destination: Confirm clearance for equipment, turning radius, and a stable surface for delivery.

Visual reality check

Why licensed movers matter

Hiring licensed, insured movers reduces the risk of structural damage, compliance problems, and avoidable delays. That is especially true when the route involves restrictions, escorts, or tight access.

Common reasons people move a mobile home

  • Relocation for work, family, or lifestyle changes
  • Transport for repairs, replacement, or resale
  • Moving to a new park, property, or long-term site
