I'm looking very forward to working closely with you. I'm focused, driven (no pun intended), and committed to doing a great job for you and providing the best possible service for your pet. I always drive the longest on the first day and I'm USDA-T certified . I will transport pets, drive delivery, freight that will fit in the bed and/or cab of my pickup truck, household goods and I will tow a boat or car. Anything over 1000 miles, except for towing cars or boats, I will rent a vehicle to save the mileage on my truck. That also helps me to determine the price of my bid.
**I'M FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. I've been that way since I started my umpiring career and it has served me very well.**
I currently live in Springfield, Missouri and I'm looking to travel as much as I can before I have to slow down. I'm in a pretty good area that allots me to start most of my transports in about 6-8 hours. I'M ORIGINALLY FROM OREGON AND AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A TRANSPORT BACK TO MY HOME STATE TO CHECK ON MY PARENTS. THEY ARE BOTH IN THEIR 80'S AND I LIKE TO CHECK IN ON THEM IN PERSON AS FACETIME ONLY DOES SO MUCH. IN SOME CASES, I WILL REDUCE THE PRICE OF THE TRANSPORT TO TAKE A TRIP HOME.
I'm a firm believer in communication goes a very long way in any relationship. I use the Life360 app for you to be able to track where we are at all times. Every time we stop for a break, I will send you an updated pic from where we are and if your pet is larger than 20lbs., I will ensure your pet gets plenty of exercise and pets. Otherwise, less than 20lbs. and it's no paws on the ground unless otherwise requested. When it comes to taking breaks, I will stop about every 3-4 hours to check on your fur baby to ensure they have adequate water and/or food. I will also ask that if you have specific feeding times, please provide me with a schedule so I can ensure your fur baby stays on it. I will have water in a small bowl that I will keep in the carrier unless otherwise directed. I will also ask that you provide the food for your fur baby as some pets are on specific diets or eat specific food, and I will supply all the bottled water. If your fur baby has a carrier/cage they are comfortable with, I would also ask that you provide that as well. I will have my own, but some animals prefer the comfort of a carrier/cage they are already familiar with. If there is anything else you think they might want to be transported with, please include that in the container that will accompany your fur baby (food, toys, leash, collar/harness, etc.) I like to be prepared for any contingency. When it comes to the transporting of your animal, cats and exotic animals will stay in their cages. Dogs, depending on what you want and how comfortable I am with your pet, they may be allowed to travel outside of it's crate. All dogs will be leashed prior to getting out of the vehicle whenever we stop for breaks. If I'm transporting more than one pet, they will be staying in their crate during the entire trip except for breaks to avoid any complications. The cabin temp will be set at 68-70 degrees depending on the size of animal I have, plus the amount of fur they may or may not have. I can keep it warmer or cooler as necessary. If I become too tired to make it to the next town (we've all hit that wall before), I will text you that I'm pulling over to take a nap (better to be safe than sorry) and will text you when I get back on the road.
I grew up with cats and dogs. Not currently having any due to the home rental policy, I can't wait to get into a different place so I can once again get at least 1 dog and 1 cat. I figure this is a great way for me to spend time with different breeds so I will have a better idea of what dog(s) or cat(s) I may get.
One advantage that I feel I have is that I'm a USAF Veteran (Security Police) and I will protect your pet as if they were part of my family. If the government can trust me to guard priority A weapons and aircraft, then I would hope that you can trust me as well with your pet. I will provide a discount for veterans, active duty and first responders.
Upon completion of the transport, I will disinfect any crates, bowls, etc. and will vacuum out the vehicle and spray pet and human friendly deodorizer (Melalluca product) in the vehicle. I will change out the surface your pet will be on inside of the crate at each stop and again when your pet has been delivered.
Since we are talking about driving, I have a clean MVR as I don't drive crazy, I'm just way to old for that nonsense any more.
***IMPORTANT*** IF I REACH OUT TO YOU, IT'S BECAUSE I'M GOING THROUGH YOU TOWN, GOING TO YOUR TOWN, OR I'M GOING TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO YOUR TOWN THAT IT WON'T BOTHER ME TO DRIVE A FEW HOURS OUT OF THE WAY. IF I DO REACH OUT, PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO ME AS I'M TRYING TO GET YOU LOCKED IN BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE ACCEPTS ANOTHER BID.
This will be a door 2 door service and occasionally I will stack with the transport. If I do stack, I will inform you as well as I will reduce the cost of your transport.
Your pet will be released to you upon payment received. I will accept forms of payment such as Zelle, PayPal, Venmo and Cash (Preferred), sorry, no checks allowed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to working with you soon.
