Re: Transport needed FL to NC
This message is from: Robin Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kris, If you don't find anyone on the list, I have used a hauling company called Crystal Creek that are out of Ocala and do alot of hauling between there and Kentucky. They are a husband and wife and are extremely conscientious and reliable. Before I had my a lot of experience hauling, I had them come down here and haul a horse I used to have from here to Ocala for training, they hauled my warmblood from here to Gainesville and back when he had sinusitis and they took Ooruk back to Ocala for training when they dropped the warmblood off(and only charged me $100 to take him since they were going back north anyway) and I am not sure who brought him back. At any rate, I have used them several times and never had anything but good results. If you need their contact info, let me know.

Re: Transport Needed
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Bill, Pat, and Glen, Thanks for the compliments! I was certainly not fishing, haha, nor were we the transporters Linda had hired. It is just a personal pet peeve of mine to hear of problems with a transport always resulting in dissatisfaction with the transporting company when there are extenuating circumstances beyond the transporter's control, such as the pickup being canceled when the transporter has already driven however far to get there. Do not get me wrong, there are very poor transporters out there and they do need to be watched out for.

RE: Transport needed
This message is from: "Bill Kelley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have used Bailey's to ship a foal I bought from them. We were on the back end of the trip but she looked great coming off the trailer. They truley care about what they are transporting and also called the night before and the day of delivery to give a time estimate. As a consumer, If the transporter showed up to pick up a horse and I canceled for any reason I would expect to pay at least a partial fee. The transporter has already done part of his job just getting to you, unless he is your next door neighbor.

Re: Transport needed

People get very frustrated with transporters as often, a deposit has been paid that is nonrefundable, or the transporter refuses to wait, or the transporter is unable to immediately reschedule a pickup. It is quite costly to transport and normally, the stops are 100s of miles apart. When a cancellation occurs midroute, the transporter often loses enough money that the entire trip has lost its profitability. Normally, the deposit will at least partially cover the costs incurred to get to that stop and hopefully make things break even. Most transporters will not wait simply as time is money in this business, plus the other clients normally do not appreciate it! As for rescheduling? A month is really a good time frame to figure on for a rescheduling time. Not only does the transporter have to finish the current route, but most likely has a few others lined up that must be completed prior to rescheduling a canceled pickup. > So I'm looking for a transport service that is reliable, reasonable in price > There are always a few rules of thumb to check when looking into quality transport and believe it or not, cost is really at the bottom of the list, or it should be. -How new is the equipment? How often is it maintenenced? -How often are the horses given breaks? Overnight breaks, as well? -Are they offered free choice quality hay and ample water throughout the trip? -What is the ventilation? -Are the floors padded? Walls? Butt pads? Side pads? -Is the driver a CDL holder? Experience? And the list can go on and on. ALWAYS ask for references and check them! Fuel prices have skyrocketed, so transporting costs have gone way up. If one gets a very low rate, I would suggest even more thorough investigation. Afterall, you are hiring a transporter to care for your horse and get it to its destination safely and with as little stress and trauma as possible. Reliability is probably the hardest thing to check in regard to a transporter. The entire route depends on if everyone along the route has the horses ready for pickup and also, ready to receive on the other end. I can tell you endless stories of us being held up due to people not having the horse ready even with ample notice, or not being ready to receive, even after given days or even weeks of notice. Plus there is weather, traffic, road constructionI suppose this one depends on what exactly you mean by reliable. Good luck finding transport for your horse in such a short time frame. There are transportation boards on Yahoo you might be able to check.

Transport needed
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Can anyone recommend a reliable horse transport service? I recently bought a horse and the day before she was to be picked up, several horses from her barn became ill from an unknown cause. My horse was not one of them...thank God. To be on the safe side, the decision was made not to ship my horse. Unfortunately, the horse carrier had already arrived and they were informed that the horse to be transported was not going. I feel bad for the transport company, but then again, this was something that was out of our control. This illness came on suddenly, there was no warning. Upon conversing with the hired transport company, it was decided to terminate the contract with them. Without going into detail, they were not being very kind about my situation and their route would not take them back to that area for at least another month, if then. So I'm looking for a transport service that is reliable, reasonable in price and will be having a rig going to New York State within the next week or so. If anyone can help me, please return an email..asap. Thanks in advance, Linda

The need for transport was postponed until now, and some of the options available back then are now gone. So, I need any and all help or refferrals to transport a gelding from BC, Canada to North Dakota, and or Winnepeg. Any suggestions helpful once again. Thank you Janne Myrdal
