Well find the nearest airport from both locations and find out who has the most direct flights. Then ask about price. Watch them on the crates I've fought with them over that more then anything. There's are twice the price for the same crate anywhere and they say the dog needs x amount of clearance . then suddenly the crate you picked a size large to be safe is to small.

Where are the pups coming from. Eddie Moore is hauling a load of pups from Central Texas up through Idaho this weekend.
Adios,

I know a lot of these overland shippers use various means of shipping. But I've not had the best experience with it myself. I think there's decent money in it if a guy goes full time. That said it seems a big express van with kennels mounted inside and climate control etc. Is probably what they should be using or a box trailer outfitted the same way. Or maybe a European style box truck.
I've seen dogs stagger out of trailers looking like they'd spent a hour in a dryer.
The best I saw showed up in a rv but how that pays very well I'm not sure since everyone I've had to fuel up had poor fuel economy. Plus original cost and maintenance seems prohibitive. Just some thoughts.

The guy the pups are coming from won't use dog hauler it was hard enough to get him to fly them. Now we just gotta figure that out .
