A 16×40 shed covers about 640 sq ft and is one of the large-class buildings our Milwaukee network handles most often. Oversize building requiring permits and escorts. On a tilt trailer or shed mule, the whole building moves in one piece — no disassembly — provided there's a clear path at both the pickup and the drop site.

The three cost drivers in Milwaukee are access, distance, and permits. Access means gate width, fence lines, slope, and overhead utility drops — a 16-ft-wide building needs roughly 18 ft of clear opening to get through comfortably. Distance is straightforward mileage from pickup to drop. Permits depend on Wisconsin rules above: this size does require one, and your hauler files it with the Wisconsin DOT before the move.
