Shanks Trucking

Shanks Trucking provides livestock transport out of Auburn, Iowa, serving farms and operations across the wider region near Des Moines. They move horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs, working with the kind of scheduling demands that come with herd relocations, sale barn runs, or getting animals to processing on time.

The company holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier. That standing sits behind day-to-day hauls for producers who need dependable pickup and delivery windows, whether it's a single trailer of breeding stock or a larger multi-species load.

Given the range of animals they handle, Shanks Trucking tends to work with mixed operations, small farms, and breeders who need flexible transport rather than a one-species specialist. For anyone in the Auburn area coordinating herd or flock movement, they're set up to handle both routine and time-sensitive runs.
