School BUS Transportation

From Oklahoma to Nicaragua: How We Shipped a Used School Bus.
We were recently approached by a client who had purchased a used school bus at an auction in Oklahoma and needed to transport it all the way to Nicaragua. The request required a full-service logistics solution — from domestic pickup in the U.S. to final delivery in Central America.

The project began with a detailed route assessment and cost breakdown. At the initial stage, we partnered with a trusted carrier who provided a step-deck trailer — ideal for moving oversized vehicles like buses. The bus was safely loaded and transported from Oklahoma to the Port of Houston, a major hub for international shipping to Latin America.

Once at the port, our team took over the export documentation process, including vehicle title verification, customs paperwork, and booking the vessel. For the ocean leg of the journey, we used a RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel — the most secure and efficient method for shipping drivable units. This eliminated the need for containerization or dismantling, and minimized handling risks.

The bus was shipped from the Port of Houston directly to the Port of Corinto, Nicaragua, the country’s main commercial seaport. Throughout the transit, we maintained communication with the client, providing real-time updates and documentation tracking.

Upon arrival in Corinto, we coordinated with local customs agents to ensure smooth clearance. We also assisted the client in arranging final delivery from the port to the buyer’s location within Nicaragua. Our goal was to provide not just transportation, but full-cycle support — and that’s exactly what we delivered.

Thanks to careful planning, trusted partners, and transparent communication, the project was completed on time and without complications. The client received their vehicle in excellent condition, ready for its new chapter on the roads of Nicaragua.
