BEWARE OF THIS HAULER: I normally wouldn't do this, but I had SUCH a horrible experience with a hauler (and I've used a lot!), that I feel people need to steer clear. According to some online reviews and multiple horse owners with horses on the same trip as mine, this wasn't just a ""bad"" haul. Joe Duncan (formally Larry Duncan) or J&J Transports. My horse arrived a WEEK later from Washington with a swollen eye, super thin and a crusted coat full of urine. He had at least 3 breakdowns (which things happen, that's not the issue).
I had scheduled two more horses to come down to me for a client. He picked them up, broke down two miles away from her place, and she had to have her workers walk her horses home. Mine was put somewhere a couple houses down from where he broke down. My client brought him diesel (we aren't sure exactly what happened. He told her he ran out of diesel. Told me that his fuel filters had been stolen a few days before) and stayed with him for multiple hours while he worked on his truck. This was Friday night. Come Monday, he tells my client that he'll be there to pick up her two horses at 10am, since he has now borrowed a truck to finish the haul. He doesn't show up, and doesn't answer her calls (She went out of town and had to have someone wait there for him to pick them up). Finally, around 12, she calls and cancels her two horses since he had been repeatedly flaky and there was always an excuse. She said his rig was bent up, dirty and she didn't feel comfortable. He doesn't offer to pay her back for the diesel (she also took him to her place to shower, etc.). He does, however, cash her check.. with her horses not on the trailer.
