About
Citizens BOOKING FEES are separate from my transport fees. In my pictures I have included the BOOKING FEES that Citizens charges. One is for non dogs (lower$) and the other is dogs only (higher$) For 17 years I have been delivering for my wife's breeding businesses of rabbits and dogs: Shauna's Hollands, Smoky Mountain Spaniels, and Shauna's Newfs. Now, I have decided to start helping other breeders by offering a cheaper transport alternative by choosing shipments that are along my current routes for my wife's business. I am located close to Fall Creek Falls state park in Tennessee. This means that I am centrally located to 13 states and can be to any of them in a few hours. I currently use rental vehicles since I travel long distances. The rentals have lower millage and therefore less chances of breaking down.

I use the F150 for shorter runs around Tennessee and just across the boarders to neighboring states. And yes, the pets stay upfront with me. Mostly in my lap.

Chad was very efficient and easy to deal with. It made the process seamless. He sent updates on the travel including photos to provide comfort. I was impressed when the delivery happened! He had a van of dogs rabbits and my cat. Man of many animal talents. I'd absolutely use him again!

This team was great. Reasonable pricing. Gave me instructions, they asked and answered questions. Coordinated with the seller to make this experience smooth. I was updated along the way until our furry baby came home. Will use again. Thank you!

Working with Smoky Mountain Express was simple and efficient from the beginning. He was very informative and responsive. He provided multiple updates throughout the day with pictures of my dog he was hauling for me. Would definitely recommend and will be the first person I contact for future deliveries.
