Harmel Trucking

Harmel Trucking provides livestock transport out of Rugby, North Dakota, serving the broader north-central region near Minot. Shay Harmel and the team haul horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs for producers who need dependable moves between farms, sale barns, and pastures across the area.

The operation holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier. Beyond that credential, day-to-day work centers on practical hauling: shuttling breeding stock between herds, moving flocks during seasonal transitions, bringing animals to processing appointments, or helping smaller farms get livestock to auction without needing their own trailer setup.

For ranchers and hobby farmers in the Rugby area, having a local hauler who knows the roads and handles multiple species means less coordination headache during busy seasons like calving, lambing, or fall herd moves. Harmel Trucking fits into that support role, offering transport capacity when farms need an extra set of hands and a reliable trailer on short notice.
