Most building modules are wider than the 102-inch federal standard, so most module loads move under state permits, one state at a time. The route, the last few miles of local streets and the crane all limit how big your modules can be. Bring a hauler and a crane company in before module sizes are final, not after. Our guide on what owners get wrong about transport and setting walks through it.
