OUR RECENT EQUIPMENT SHIPMENTS
The shipping of this 40ft high cube empty container from Idaho Falls, ID, to Eagle, ID, was coordinated by Janelle Foltz. The client needed the container delivered on short notice, and Janelle worked tirelessly to ensure it was done. It was a tricky move due to the position of the container that was in between trees, but our team was able to execute it on time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What regulations affect container transport in Idaho?
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) requires oversize and overweight permits for containers that exceed state limits. Seasonal restrictions, including winter closures and spring thaw “frost laws,” can impact container routing. Heavy Equipment Transport secures the proper permits and plans compliant routes across Idaho’s highways.
How does Heavy Equipment Transport handle container moves in Idaho?
We manage drayage and line-haul service from Boise and other regional hubs, coordinating chassis reservations and scheduling around mountain passes like Lookout and Fourth of July. Heavy Equipment Transport provides experienced drivers and equipment suited to Idaho’s challenging terrain.
What costs are common when shipping containers in Idaho?
Costs often include ITD permits, fuel surcharges for mountain climbs, and seasonal adjustments during winter operations. Heavy Equipment Transport provides all-inclusive quotes upfront, covering permits, equipment, and logistics so you avoid unexpected charges.
How long does container shipping take in Idaho?
Most dispatches from Boise or Idaho Falls are completed the same day. Cross-state moves typically take 1–2 days, while longer hauls through mountain passes may require additional time depending on weather. HET keeps you updated with real-time tracking.
Why choose Heavy Equipment Transport for Idaho container shipping?

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Container to Idaho?
That's a good question! Moving a container to Idaho can vary in cost. Why?
It depends on whether you're shipping a container from California or Florida to Idaho. Or, you may need to ship your container from Idaho to another state.
- Is your container loaded or empty? Is it a 20ft container or a 40ft container?
- Is your container going to port?
All of these questions, along with several others, factor into your container transport cost. In general, it can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
