Is this for a friend? Are just someone that needed a horse hauled and you really dont know them that well? |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I would just get them to pay for the fuel. I have hauled others horses to help out and most the time they would buy me lunch and pay for the fuel that we used. |

Location: Austin, Texas, where it can get really weird!! | Look up hauling rates and think about what your time is worth.
I charge .50 a mile after 15 miles you could charge for gas if you wanted to it depends on if you want to profit. For mobile training. And maybe $12 an hour for just waiti g and not handling if yoi handle maybe like 15 an hour during vet visit. |

| Helping a friend, I wouldn't charge anything.
Habitual I would probably charge for fuel and maybe an oil change on my truck.

Location: Central Texas | This would not be for a friend but as a service to provide for those without a truck and trailer. I wished I had the time and money to do it for free but there is wear and tear on my rig and my time. I was just trying to get an idea of how to charge, be reasonable and still help some folks out. |

Location: KS | I work for an implement dealership. I realize its not exactly the same, but for a simple service call we charge 1.80 per mile, hauling which is semi and trailer is 2.75 a mile, so maybe something in between would be reasonable for a pickup and horse trailer. Than can charge a flat hourly rate for yourself, 10.00?

This is correct. Personal insurance will not cover an accident if you are charging to haul. |
