Smith Trucking

Smith Trucking provides livestock transport services out of Philip, South Dakota, serving ranches and farms across the western part of the state near Rapid City. Chet Smith and the team haul horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs, working with producers who need animals moved between pastures, sale barns, and processing facilities.

The company holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier.

Given the mix of species handled, Smith Trucking fits the needs of cattle ranchers moving herds to auction, sheep and goat producers shifting flocks between grazing leases, and small-scale poultry or hog operations needing occasional hauls. Horse owners relocating animals for breeding, sale, or seasonal boarding may also find the range of species served useful. Operating in the wide open country around Philip, the company is positioned to handle longer rural routes as well as shorter trips closer to town, giving local producers a practical option for everyday livestock movement needs.
