Mark Ships For You

17/02/2024

The route for today: Sheldon, IA.

The route for tomorrow: Port Huron, MI

Later this week, I'll have to pick up and deliveries in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts.

I'll also be doing some vacationing if I'm not able to secure anymore on my routes.

Please make me work but if not, you won't hurt my feelings because I can always vacation!

12/02/2024

My next dog delivery route is coming up on 2/16/24 through 2/26/24.

I'll be starting off in Brunswick, OH and drive to Erie, PA to pick up dog cages and my partner in crime who goes on these trips with me.

Will be traveling from Erie, PA to Sheldon, IA (pick-Up) and travel to near Port Huron, MI (Delivery).

Afterwards, we'll rest, probably in Erie until we leave for our pick up in Montour Falls, NY and deliver to Marion, MA.

And once we complete our drop off, we'll be heading down to Jim Thorpe, PA (Pick-Up) to East Syracuse, NY (Delivery).

I don't have exact dates and definitely not arrival times. As always, the route is always subject to change.

Please contact me through a direct message (DM) or text/call 330-416-4650.

For an accurate estimate, I need the following information:

The date of pickup, the cities and states for both the pickup/delivery point, the estimated dog size at the time of pickup.

The dog size might seem to significant but I only carry 3 cages and do semi-private delivery. I want to make sure I have a cage big enough for any animal that I'm going to be taking with me through its new home.

Anybody Want To Travel?

My next trip begins August 5, 2023!

I'll be traveling from Ohio to Michigan to Georgia to Ohio!

I may stay down south for a few days, maybe even Florida!

27/06/2023

This one I picked up in Michigan and it went to Ohio. I want to thank Jennifer Hall for letting me spend the night prior to picking up in Michigan. I call it Jennifer's B&B only for Mark.

I had no issues with the dog whatsoever. The dog traveled well.

Without going into any details, the wrong dog was loaded in my vehicle. I learned a long time ago to always let the people load bypassengers and when they arrived at their destination they are unloaded too.

I'm only mentioning this because out of the eight plus years I've been doing this, it's the first time it's happened.

Between two parties who went in their agreement will have to figure it out. As always, I'll never name names but I will talk about situations that are unique during my travels.

Here's what I notice about customers. They want things done fast, good, and cheap. Here's what I offer:

My transports will always be done good. So the question is how fast and how cheap?

1. A route is done slow, good, and cheap. Why? When I get 3 or 4 in my vehicle, my gross payments are higher (more in vehicle) and expenses are slightly more because the delivery route varies.

2. An Expedient is faster, good, and more expensive. Why? Because if you pay extra for this service, when you book, I won't add another between your pickup and delivery. But, I will pick up and delivery anything already booked.

3. A Private very fast. I leave, go pick up, and deliver. It's scheduled in advance. There's no stops except for gas, food, and sleep. It's not cheap! You pay 3x the route price. Why? With a private, I don't have the capability or luxury of adding more along the way. Remember? I take a maximum of 3 and sometimes more.

Think of me like the post office. Regular mail sometimes takes 5-7 days. You pay more for a 2-3 day guarantee and you pay hugh for overnight.

My regular customers understand. If you want a private, don't expect to pay a route price.

Plus, if you pay for a route price, don't expect a private delivery.

Also, ETA means, Estimated Time of Arrival. I don't know until right before I start my route what your ETA is.

My ETA will and typically does change. I'm not carrying packages. It's live animals.

Do you know how many times people have asked, why does it take 10 hours to travel on an 8-hour trip according to MapQuest?

Let me think here. And I'm just thinking out loud.

I have to get gas, I'm going to stop to eat, the animals have to eat and drink, if it's an adult, it'll have to be walked, if it's a puppy and it's no pause on the ground, the cage will have to have to be cleaned, if I go through a major city, I'll have stupid idiots I'll have to avoid.

Am I talking logically or am I talking crazy? My regular customers totally understand and they rarely message me when I'm on the road. They know I'm taking very good care of my onboard pets.

I guess everyone understands my policy? All new individuals will have to read my Terms Of Service (TOS) or I won't transport.

I Found This Photo Posted By Amber O'neal

Just to let you know how stupid some people could be and think that I'm going to do things that are against the law when it comes to transporting animals, they are sadly mistaken.

Someone just asked me if I would pick up an animal in Tennessee and bring it to Canton Ohio. The only problem is the dogs only 5 weeks old. According to USDA rules and regulations, federal law state law, it's absolutely illegal to do so.

All animals must be at least 8 weeks old and be off of the mother's milk for 5 days. All animals must have a Interstate Health certificates or a certified veterinary inspection depending upon what state it's going to.

These rules and regulations are non-negotiable because yours truly can be fined up to $10,000 by the federal government. Also, the person who gives me the dog and the person who receives the dog is also subject to the same rules and regulations and can be fined $10,000 also.

Now, I deal with people who don't understand. I don't like the rules because I think some of the rules are stupid but the bottom line is I have to follow the law or pay the consequences.

Since I know about this, if I find out, what am I supposed to do except report it. Even though I still deliver dogs for breeders who actually care where their animals go, I would be a hypocrite if I didn't watch out for this one because I don't want an animal be the subject of an unsafe transport since I still do work and trying to find rescues that have been abused and neglected to good and loving homes.

Maybe the individual after me sending a message to the breeder that I was able to find out exactly who it was and giving that person I talked to a copy basically stating that I will report it if I find out and as of right now I have enough to file a complaint anyway but I think I'm going to hold off on that and see what my responses from the breeder.

Sounds like I've had an exciting last 15 minutes and yes I'm enjoying it.
