How to Browse on the Marketplace
Filters that matter for finding the right transporter:
- Species. Dog/cat, equine, livestock, and exotic transporters operate under different equipment, training, and regulations. Don't cross-shop them.
- Ground or air. Ground works for most regional moves. Air is faster but requires more paperwork, especially internationally.
- USDA license. USDA APHIS licensed transporters are required for commercial puppy moves. Verify the license, not just the claim.
- Route and frequency. Some transporters run scheduled circuits (e.g., FL-NY weekly). Others do bespoke runs. Schedule fit can change the price by half.
What to Look For When Hiring a Transporter
- Verifiable USDA APHIS license for commercial puppy/kitten transport across state lines. Ask for the license number.
- Climate control and team driving for long routes. A team-driven temperature-controlled van is the floor for multi-day cross-country moves.
- Vehicle photos and condition. The vehicle is the product. Photos of the actual rig, not stock imagery.
- Live tracking and check-ins. GPS tracking, scheduled photo updates, and a real phone number you can reach 24/7.
- Insurance and carrier liability. Cargo insurance specific to live animals. General auto insurance is not enough.
- Honest schedule. Transporters who promise a 48-hour cross-country run on solo drivers should be a hard no.
