Rathje Trucking

Rathje Trucking provides livestock transport services from Sabula, Iowa, serving the broader eastern Iowa region near Dubuque. Led by Richard L Rathje, the company moves horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs for farms and ranches throughout the area.

The business holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier. This kind of hauling work supports a range of everyday agricultural needs, from moving cattle between pastures to transporting sheep and goats to sale barns or new farms.

Rathje Trucking's experience with multiple species makes it a practical option for breeders, small farm operators, and larger livestock producers who need dependable transport for herds or flocks. Whether it's a single horse trailer run or a full load of hogs headed to processing, the company works within the rhythms of rural Iowa agriculture, connecting farms, auctions, and buyers across the region.
