Our private transport service is nationwide and is billed per hour of travel time for up to 8 large dogs, or 12 medium dogs, or up to 4 large dogs and 4 medium dogs, per trip.

We validate routes with Google Maps and the hours are calculated based on the route that is calculated in Google Maps. We do not bill for traffic or other delays - the route is calculated and paid prior to departure. You are only paying for the calculated time from your pickup location to drop-off location... not our travel time to your destination and back to ours!

We are required to adhere to the DOT 11 hour rule which mandates that our drivers are required to break for 10 hours after 11 hours of driving. This is not our policy, this is a Department of Transportation requirement.

If any route is longer than 11 hours, an Additional Driver Fee is required. Stops will be taken along the route (30 minutes per 3 hours of driving) for drinks and potty breaks. We do not charge for these stops. The number of hours required is based on Google Maps route, or mileage at an average of 60mph.

If trip exceeds 11 hours of travel, food for your dog(s) will also be required.

We have a dedicated route calculator on our webpage at https://www.hopehaulers.org.

Please contact us for any questions and we look forward to the opportunity to help relocate your furry friend and be a part of their journey! We promise they're going to be safe and happy along the way with snacks, entertainment, and plenty of love and happiness.
