Smoky Mountain Express

Smoky Mountain Express provides ground animal transport out of Pikeville, Tennessee, serving the broader Cumberland Plateau region near Chattanooga. Led by Chad Hodge, the team moves dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs across varying distances, adapting vehicles and handling routines to each species' needs.

The company holds an active USDA APHIS Class T registration as a registered animal carrier, active through September 2027.

This range of experience makes Smoky Mountain Express a practical option for farm-to-farm livestock moves, breeder transport, herd relocations, or getting a family pet to a new home. Whether it's a single horse trailer trip or coordinating multiple animals for a sheep or goat operation, the crew works to keep animals calm and secure throughout the drive. Their familiarity with both companion animals and farm species allows them to support a wide mix of clients throughout the region.
