What is the cost of shipping the log package to my building site?
When your building site is more than 50 miles from our yard, the home is shipped by common carrier. We are set up to deliver small cabins in Western Montana. The rates vary from time to time because of fuel rates, taxes and if the trucking firm can get a back haul to Montana. As far as a rough estimate when budgeting for your home, we generally use $1.50 per mile. This is an average that has been fairly constant over the years as we have paid more on some occasions and less than others. We recommend that the homeowner check with trucking firms in their area as they may be looking for a back haul to their area from Montana.
