Joseph Hilmes

Joseph Hilmes provides livestock transport services out of Carlyle, Illinois, serving southern Illinois and the wider region near St. Louis. He moves horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs, working with farms and small operations that need animals moved between pastures, sales, or breeding sites.

He holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier.

For producers managing herd rotations, flock relocations, or one-off transport for breeding stock, Hilmes offers a straightforward option close to home. His work spans multiple species, which suits mixed operations that raise more than one type of animal and need a single hauler familiar with handling different temperaments and loading needs. Farmers in Clinton County and surrounding areas often need reliable transport for routine moves as well as less frequent trips tied to sales or veterinary visits, and his services are set up to cover both.
