Illinois roads and rules for 20ft and 40ft containers

• Width: standard containers are 8 feet wide, within Illinois's usual 8'6" legal width.
• Height: the usual legal height is 13'6". A 9 ft 6 in high-cube container sits higher once it's on a trailer deck, so say whether yours is high-cube when you post.
• Permits: oversize and overweight permits come from the IDOT Permits. 40ft container moving on longer trailers may face length rules.
• Routes: expect Chicago alley access and downstate flat farmland. Photos of your driveway and drop spot help haulers plan.

1. Post the container size (10, 20 or 40 ft), standard or high-cube, pickup and delivery towns in Illinois, photos and access notes.
2. Independent haulers serving Illinois see your move and send bids.
3. You compare bids, choose a hauler and arrange the details directly with them.

Illinois container moving questions

Post your container move on Move Your Shed with the size, pickup and delivery towns, photos and access notes. Independent haulers serving Illinois can send bids, and you choose who to hire.

Do I need a permit to move a shipping container in Illinois?

Standard containers are 8 feet wide, within Illinois's usual 8'6" legal width. Height and length can still matter: the usual legal height is 13'6", and a 9 ft 6 in high-cube on a trailer deck can come close. Oversize permits are handled by the IDOT Permits; confirm with the hauler who bids on your move.

What affects the cost of shipping container transport in Illinois?

Container length (20ft or 40ft), distance, the equipment needed (tilt-bed, side-loader or crane), site access, and road conditions such as Chicago alley access and downstate flat farmland. Haulers set their own bids after seeing your details.
