What to Expect with Shipping a Prison Bus
Prison buses, or prison transport vehicles, are designed to transport prisoners from one facility to another. Unlike other buses, these buses are equipped with driver partitions, protected windows and isolation cells, to ensure the safety of both inmates and officers.
At We Will Transport It, we understand the unique requirements and challenges that come with prison bus shipping. That’s why our expert logistics team handles every step of the process, including:
- Permit Acquisition: Many prison buses require oversized or interstate transport permits. We take care of all permits and documentation so you don’t have to worry.
- Full Insurance Coverage: Every prison bus transport handled by We Will Transport It is protected under comprehensive insurance, with our drivers carrying a minimum of $100,000 in coverage or higher. All drivers are fully licensed, DOT-certified, and have no DUIs or total losses on record.
- Route Planning: Our dispatch team plans the safest, most cost-efficient routes to minimize tolls and delays.
Key Factors That Affect Prison Bus Shipping Costs
Just like any other type of bus transport, several important factors determine the total cost to ship a prison bus. We Will Transport It provides transparent pricing and custom quotes based on your specific route, vehicle type, and delivery needs.
1. Distance and Location
The total mileage plays the biggest role in your shipping cost. The farther your prison bus needs to travel, the higher the rate. Long-distance or cross-country moves may be billed at a per-mile rate or as a daily rate for extended hauls.
2. Fuel Costs
Since fuel prices change daily, your final quote can vary depending on current market conditions. When fuel prices rise, the overall cost per mile for prison bus hauling increases.
3. Toll Roads and Route Planning
If your route includes multiple toll roads, this can increase your transport costs. Our logistics team plans the most efficient route possible to save you time and money.
4. Bus Size and Condition
The overall size, height, and weight of your prison bus affect the type of trailer needed, whether it’s a step deck, removable gooseneck, or flatbed. If your bus is inoperable or oversized, we’ll arrange for specialized loading equipment or additional crew to handle the delivery safely.
5. Season and Scheduling
Peak shipping seasons, such as summer, tend to have higher demand and can affect pricing. Winter can often result in lower transport costs.
6. Per-Mile Rates and Custom Quotes
There is no flat “cents per mile” rate for prison bus transport because every shipment is unique. Pricing depends on:
- Pickup and drop-off locations
- Current per-mile rates in the market (which fluctuate with fuel costs, supply and demand, and weather)
- Schedule

Can I transport my 5th wheel or camper with my prison bus?
Yes, but deck loading isn’t usually cost-effective. We recommend hauling your 5th wheel, camper, or trailer on its own axles for safety and efficiency.
Can the driver pick up my vehicle alone?
Yes, as long as it’s in good working condition. Tires, bearings, and lights must work, and plumbing/electric systems should be disconnected. Call us at (800) 677-1196 to speak with your representative if you need special arrangements.
What kind of insurance is included?
Every prison bus shipment is insured for at least $100,000 or more. Every single mover under We Will Transport It is DOT-certified with no DUIs or total losses, and coverage applies even if an accident isn’t their fault.
Can I track my prison bus transport?
Yes. We Will Transport It offers full tracking and a dedicated dispatch team for updates, scheduling, and driver communication.
Can I ride along with the driver?
No. Insurance only covers the vehicle in transit, passengers aren’t allowed to ride with drivers.
Can I leave items inside the bus?
No. It’s best to secure any items or remove any valuable items inside the prison bus as insurance doesn’t cover personal or unsecured items left inside during transport. Remove all valuables before pickup.
