Does anybody know how those guys base their charges? I'm just wondering because I have a litter of puppies I'm in Virginia somebody in Fort Lauderdale Florida wants to buy one. And wants to know what it would cost to bring it to him. I have no idea how much to charge going that far that's almost two thousand miles round trip.

The one I use is $250 for pups and small dogs $280 for large. Idk if he goes that route though.

That's what I was thinking to charge him somewhere around $250. Since I will be making a trip just to take him a puppy and no other reason to go there. I put in my add I'm willing to meet up to 300 miles I guess he didn't see that part

Add wear and tear on vehicle which includes tire wear and depreciation due to higher mileage...and add oil change to that...

Haulers do it this way to make a profit...they pick up and drop off dogs on their route both ways...it usually takes them a while to pick up enough clients before making a trip...

Sometimes we have to shop around to find one that can make the trip...if you could sell more than one pup in the mid Florida area it will become more profitable for the hauler and your chance of finding a hauler improves...
Usually, it is the buyers responsibility in getting the pup home...and breeders that have experience in shipping usually will recommend a good hauler...I’ve used several and both were outstanding business folks who provided a great service...
