What it usually costs

Most haulers charge by the loaded mile — commonly $2.50–$5.00 a mile for a gooseneck stock trailer, with a minimum trip fee for short runs. Semi pot loads are usually quoted per load.

Typical ranges only — rates vary by region. Always get a quote first.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • How many head fit, and is the trailer split into compartments?
  • Are you insured for livestock in transit?
  • Who handles health papers and brand inspection for interstate trips?
  • Is the rate loaded miles only, or round trip?
