Highway Bus Transport

Shipping a highway bus isn’t like moving a car. Highway buses are often used for long-distance travel or tours. These large-capacity passenger buses are designed for long-distance travel, tours, or intercity transport. Unlike other commercial buses, highway buses often require special permits, oversized load equipment, and detailed route planning.

That’s why it’s important to classify whether or not your bus is a highway bus. We Will Transport It always handles buses with care, but classification helps our drivers plan the best route for shipping your highway bus.

We Will Transport It’s Approach to Highway Bus Shipping

Each of our bus transportation begins with a detailed review of your highway bus’s condition. Next, our logistics teams handle everything needed for safe and efficient highway bus delivery.

We Will Transport will handle:

• Custom route planning: Due to the size of highway buses, it’s important to plan the route ahead to avoid road size restrictions or heavily tolled areas.
• Trailer selection: Based on the bus’s height, weight, and length, we choose the appropriate trailer type. (See transportation types below.)
• Permit handling: We take care of all necessary permits to ensure your bus complies with road regulations and legal requirements.

We treat each highway bus with the same care and attention to detail, whether it’s a luxury coach or a used highway bus being delivered.

Our Approach to Highway Bus Shipping

We Will Transport It’s team coordinates all aspects of the process for you, still it’s important to know the types of transport that might be used for your highway bus. From selecting the right transportation type to navigating weight and height restrictions, you should know how your highway bus will be moved.

Transport Types we may use:

1. Driveaway: This method of transportation uses a driver to drive the highway bus from its original location to its destination. This mode requires the bus to be operable as well. It’s the most cost-effective and efficient way to haul a bus from state-to-state and internationally (Canada/United States). However, this mode does add mileage to your highway bus.
2. Flatbed Truck or Lowboy Trailer: In this method, the highway bus is loaded onto a heavy-duty trailer and transported by truck. It’s typically used when the bus isn’t operable, or if it’s quite large or brand new. This option is ideal for long-distance moves where driving the bus isn’t practical for hauling purposes.
3. Roll-On/Roll-Off Shipping (RoRo): This method is best for international shipping. For example, from the United States to Europe or Asia. During this process, the bus is driven onto a specialized cargo ship, secured down, and then shipped away from the port.
4. Container Shipping: This method is rare for such large buses, but still, buses are partially disassembled and loaded into open-top containers. It’s quite secure and protective for your highway bus during shipping.

How Much Will It Cost?

The price to transport a highway bus depends on a range of factors. To receive an accurate quote, it’s very important to know the transport distance and your preferred delivery date but there are other factors to look out for.

The price of highway bus hauling depends on:

• Transport distance (state-to-state or international)
• Bus size (height, length, weight)
• Required permits for oversized loads
• Preferred delivery date

You’ll also need to be aware that your bus may need permits due to how large highway buses tend to be.
