| What's a ballpark figure per mile for hauling fat cattle or feeders? |
|
|
|
mn | will depend on the miles, and how easy you are to work with, and loading facitites. |

| Haven't had any cattle professionally hauled for quite some time so I don't know what trucking rates are. If you don't have that many and can round up enough pickups and trailers around here it's a lot of neighbors helping neighbors type of thing. Fill their rigs up with fuel and buy lunch in town and call it good. |

| A coworker just showed me a bill he received for 30 steers, 27 heifers (not sure of the weights), for 320 miles @ $3.80 mile. |

| We've been paying $3.00 loaded mile to a guy with a 30' triple axle gooseneck and at that price I can't afford to haul them ourselves. |

New Mexico | triples.
Kinda depends on scheduling.
If they can come to Dodge City, Liberal or Cactus loaded from the N then go home with cattle, that helps everyone.

| $100 load fee if under 100 miles, plus what ever fuel prices are, that is the price per mile. This June I payed $ 4 a loaded mile. This is for semi, for gooseneck trailers before fuel went crazy guys used to charge $10 per head for cows to take to auction. That was for a 60 or even 80 mile trip. |

WY, OK | $3 a loaded mile is a steal, haven't seen anything under $4 for a while now. |

Wallis, TX | $3.80 loaded mile. long trips (500+ miles.) |

 King City, Mo | My buddy hauls with a pickup and 30ft gooseneck triple axle for $2.50 a loaded mile. Longer runs he goes down to 2-2.25 cuz he doesn't have to reload. He will not go into iowa and were in northwest mo.
Cattle pots have a $350 min on short hauls and like $3.xx a loaded mile around here. |
