When markets move fast, Des Moines producers need haulers who can confirm availability the same day — not the same week. HerdShare's Des Moines marketplace lets independent haulers and small carriers post open capacity directly to local livestock producers. Producers see real rates, trailer specs, hauler ratings, and USDOT certification — all in one place. Book a livestock transport for cattle, sheep, goats, and swine and confirm with a single message. No middle-man markup, no dispatcher delay. Join the growing network of Iowa producers and haulers who are building direct relationships — and better rates — through HerdShare.
