Vanderhorst Trucking

Vanderhorst Trucking provides livestock transport services out of Hedrick, Iowa, serving the south-central part of the state near Ottumwa. Led by Nicholas W Vanderhorst, the operation moves horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs for farms and producers across the region.

The company holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier. This kind of hauling work suits breeders shifting herds between pastures, farmers relocating flocks after a sale, or producers coordinating pickups tied to seasonal breeding and processing schedules.

Given the range of species handled, Vanderhorst Trucking appears set up for mixed loads, whether that means a handful of goats headed to a new pasture or cattle moving between farms. For rural operations in and around Keokuk County, having a local hauler familiar with multiple species can simplify logistics that might otherwise require several separate arrangements.
