What it involves and costs
HomeGuide puts transport-only moves at about $1,000–$2,000 for a single-wide, $2,000–$3,500 for a double-wide and $3,000–$5,000 for a triple-wide. The home must already be disconnected with decks and exterior features removed.
Price your move with the moving cost calculator, or check an older home with the move checker.

Who gets the ARDOT permit?
Movers normally apply for the special permit for each single movement. Ask that it is included in the quote.
