    From Medford OR to Fresno CA.
    Width: 14'4", oversize here
    Length: 64'
    Height: 11'8"
    Can't tow away because it is not on wheels.
    Thank you all!

    First how old is this item?
    Does it have axles, just no wheels/tires?
    If no, how do you plan to put it on a trailer ?
    How do you plan to get the item set when it gets to destination?
    Lots of questions need to be answered.

    Final item, it’s not going to be cheap.

    Thank you for your message.
    It's 2021 model and much stronger than mobile house.
    No Axles or Wheels or tongue for towing.
    It may need a crane to get on/off the flatbed.
    Offload and put it on the foundation when it gets to destination.

    I would figure for the transport you would be in the $15-20/ mile range it would require at a minimum a stretch step deck, likely 2 pilot cars and permits. The truck would need physical access to the loading site - remember that truck would be 90-100’ long and require a great deal of maneuvering room.

    the cranes on either end will dwarf the cost of trucking.

    May guess at the crane cost would be maybe $20-30k depending on weight, rigging and reach required to pick or place.

    so- $50k ish

    I bet I am with $50k of the real cost.

    The permit process is going to take a long time. Have no doubt that it would be about 15 feet on height, sitting on a trailer. So pole car is going to be required.

    I’d say Goodluck then and move it yourself if you’re so sure.

    I have a stretch step and have hauled these before. I'd be at 102' overall with that. Access to site on both ends would have to be adequate.

    500 miles.

    One escort all the way, maybe 2 in CA or OR depending on route (2 lane probably 2) so $1000 to $1500 guesstimate.

    Permits less than $300 - note that OR considers that dimension a 'superload' on 2 lane (odd).

    $5k to $7k on the line haul.

    Total cost $8,800 on shipping minimum. No idea on cranes.
