Mobile Home Moving & Transport in Jonesboro, AR
A mobile home move is the whole job on this site. You bought a used home on a lot, or a park is closing, or you are moving a home to family land in the country. Someone has to pull it off its blocks, get it on the road, and set it back down level on the new ground. Jonesboro Mobile Home Movers does that work across Jonesboro and Craighead County as a licensed Arkansas transporter.
We handle the move end to end. We disconnect the utilities, strip the skirting and the old tie-downs, jack the home up, and fit axles, wheels, and a hitch. A licensed toter truck tows it. On the new site we reset the home, level it, block it, and anchor it. One crew, one quote, from the old lot to the new one.
The Route Survey Comes First
A home does not just roll out to the highway. Northeast Arkansas is flat Delta farmland cut by narrow county roads, and those roads have limits. We run a route survey before the move. We check the bridges and their weight ratings, the low power lines, the tight turns, and the county-road load limits. Crowley's Ridge to the west changes the grade on some routes, so the survey picks the road the home can actually travel. A surveyed route is how a wide load gets from a rice-country lot to your land without a wire down or a truck stuck on a bridge.
Permits and Escort Cars
The paperwork is real work on a move. The Arkansas Manufactured Home Commission licenses the mover. A wide load needs an oversize or over-width transport permit from the Arkansas Department of Transportation and Arkansas Highway Police, and a wide home needs escort or pilot cars front or back for the width. We pull the moving permit and the ARDOT trip permit, arrange the escorts, and run the route. You do not stand in line at a permit desk.
Single-Wide, Double-Wide, and the Trips
A single-wide moves in one piece on one trip. A double-wide or multi-section home is different. It splits at the marriage line, each half tows separately, and the halves get re-mated on the new site. That means two or more trips and more set-up work. We tell you the trip count and the cost up front so the number on the estimate is the number you pay.
Reset on the New Site
The move is only done when the home sits right on the new ground. We build the pier foundation, level and shim the home, and tie it down with ground anchors and straps to state and HUD standards. Northeast Arkansas sits in HUD Wind Zone I, but it is also near the New Madrid seismic zone, so solid pier work and anchoring still matter here. We hang the steps and can bring the set-up and utility hookups to a finish.
What a Move Costs
A local single-wide move runs about $3,000 to $6,000. A longer haul runs $6,000 to $10,000. A double-wide or multi-section move runs $8,000 to $15,000 because of the extra trips and the re-mate. The set-up and tie-down are quoted with it. Every estimate is free and written down before the truck rolls.

How much does it cost to move a mobile home near Jonesboro?
A local single-wide move runs about $3,000 to $6,000. A longer haul runs $6,000 to $10,000. A double-wide or multi-section home runs $8,000 to $15,000 because it splits and tows in two or more trips. The price depends on distance, width, the number of sections, and what the set-up on the new site takes. We quote the move and the reset in writing before any work starts.
Do I need a permit to move my mobile home in Arkansas?
Yes. The Arkansas Manufactured Home Commission licenses the mover. A wide load needs an oversize transport permit from the Arkansas Department of Transportation, plus escort or pilot cars for the width. We are licensed, we pull the permits, and we run the route survey. You do not chase paperwork.
Can you move a home onto family land or a private lot?
Yes. Most of our moves land on family land, a cheaper lot, or a park space. We check the site first: the ground, the access road, low wires, and the turn in. Then we set the home, level it, block it, and tie it down to state and HUD standards.
How far ahead should I call before a move?
Call as early as you can. The route survey, the ARDOT permit, and the escort cars take lead time. If a park is closing or an eviction date is set, tell us the date on the first call. We work the paperwork against your deadline.
Will my home get damaged in the move?
A home moves best when it is prepped right. We disconnect utilities, remove skirting and the old anchors, jack it, and fit axles and a hitch before we tow. A route survey checks the bridges, wires, and county-road weight limits ahead of the trip. Careful prep and a surveyed route are how a home arrives sound.
Do you move older homes?
It depends on the home. An older single-wide often moves fine. Some homes are too far gone to survive the road, and towing one is money wasted. We look at the frame, the floor, and the roof, and we tell you straight whether it is worth moving or better torn down and replaced.
