Livestock hauling, starting in Montana, Idaho, and Utah.
Livestock & Ranching
When public posting opens, state the head count, handling needs and paperwork status, then compare all-in bids and the trailer each hauler says they will bring.
Hauler accounts are open now. Public shipper accounts and load posting are waitlisted. There are no live loads today. Public launch requirements are not complete.
Free, no account, nothing posts. This checker validates the category-specific cargo details a live haul posting will ask for.
Why HaulHand
Built for ranchers, not generic freight
Stock details before the bid
Head count, handling needs and paperwork status are on the load. Each hauler decides whether the work fits and tells you what they will bring — gooseneck, pot belly or straight deck.
Per-hundredweight or per-mile
Quote the way the industry already quotes. Per-CWT for partial loads, per-mile for long hauls, flat rate when you want a number you can plan around.
Paperwork status, stated up front
The haul records the shipper's self-reported yes-or-no status for brand inspection and a health certificate. Those answers start a conversation; HaulHand does not inspect a document, issue an inspection, or determine what this move requires.
Authorization first; capture after delivery
At booking, the built flow asks the shipper's card issuer for a temporary authorization of the disclosed total. It is not a completed charge or a guarantee of payment and can expire. If it remains valid, Stripe is asked to capture after delivery — on shipper confirmation or after the disclosed response window unless a dispute is open. If it expires or capture fails, another payment step is required. Payout begins only after successful capture.
Equipment
Equipment haulers may bring
Haulers choose the categories and states they cover, then decide from the posted details whether their rig fits your haul. HaulHand does not verify their equipment.
- Gooseneck stock trailer
- Pot belly (double deck)
- Straight deck semi
- Bumper pull stock trailer
- Horse trailer (slant load)
Pricing
Quoted the way this work is quoted
Choose the model that fits. Haulers bid against it, and you see the full breakdown before accepting.
Crossing state lines? Loads in this category often need inspections or permits between Montana, Idaho, and Utah. The form records the shipper's answers about them; HaulHand does not determine or verify compliance. Confirm current requirements with the relevant state agency.
Before you haul
What each state wants arranged first
Brand inspection, health certificate, entry permit — the three states answer those differently, and the differences are where a load gets turned back. Each guide names what to arrange and who to ring, with the agency's own page against every item.
Questions
What people ask
Do haulers know how to handle my stock?
Public shipper accounts and load posting are waitlisted. There are no live loads today. A hauler tells us which categories and states they serve and may privately save self-reported equipment details for future fit tools. HaulHand does not inspect that equipment or treat the declaration as proof of capacity, permits, authority, or suitability. The hauler still chooses what to offer on a bid, you choose who gets the load, and HaulHand never assigns one.
What about brand inspection crossing into Idaho or Utah?
Public shipper accounts and load posting are waitlisted. There are no live loads today. Brand inspection and health certificate status are self-reported fields on the haul. HaulHand does not issue or verify either document, decide whether one applies, or keep a requirement current. Use the livestock toolbox to reach the official state pages, then confirm the move with the relevant agency before pickup.
How is per-CWT calculated?
Public shipper accounts and load posting are waitlisted. There are no live loads today. Rate per hundredweight times total weight divided by 100, with a minimum charge if the load is light. That is the calculator a hauler can use to build their number — what reaches you is one all-in figure, with our fee and your total shown beside it before you accept.
