In this business, the first question is almost always, "How much?"
Budget matters, but I always wish the first question was about safety, standards, and setup. It's all relative.
I’m not saying I’m better than someone operating with a basic stock trailer. But my rates reflect a completely different level of operation. You are paying for top-tier, commercial-grade equipment, NSC standards, proper insurance, and nearly two decades of professional hauling experience. Every dollar goes directly back into maintaining those legal, above-board standards.
When I ask a million questions, it’s because details make all the difference. I need to know if your horse requires a box stall, extra load time, or needs to use the rear ramp rather than the side.
Furthermore, when I decline a route or ask to be met, it isn’t laziness—it’s regulatory and ethical. I will not compromise my legal drive hours or put unnecessary miles on the horses already on board.
The maintenance of the equipment is never compromised - just talk to the folks that maintain my truck and trailer. There alot of hidden costs in operations that most folks do not think of.
Comparing a commercial carrier to backyarders, illegals, or "private" rides for a cheap rate isn't comparing apples to apples. And NEVER send money upfront. The scams look incredibly real, and a "better deal" often ends in a devastating lesson. When it comes to your horses, standard care just isn't enough.
