Transport Requests: A Smarter Way to Match Clients and Transporters
Horse transport works best when both sides have clear information and realistic expectations. Clients want reliable transport options without endless outreach, while transporters want relevant requests that fit their routes, timing, and capacity.
The Transport Request tool on MOVE.HORSE is designed to balance these needs. It creates a structured way for clients to publish transport requests and for transporters to respond with real offers — without commissions, paid placement, or unnecessary intermediaries.
One Clear Request, One Shared Context
The process starts with the client creating a transport request. They specify the pickup and delivery locations, number of horses, special requirements, and a preferred date or date range. This information creates a clear, standardized context for the transport.
Instead of repeating the same details to multiple companies, the client publishes one request. Transporters see the same structured information, which reduces misunderstandings and speeds up evaluation on both sides.
Only Relevant Matches Are Connected
Transport requests are not visible to all transporters on the platform. They are shown only to businesses whose profiles match the key criteria of the request, such as operating area, capacity, and transport conditions.
For clients, this means that responses come only from transporters who are realistically able to handle the job. For transporters, it means fewer irrelevant inquiries and a better use of time.
The result is a cleaner, more efficient starting point for communication.
Real Offers Based on Real Availability
Transporters who see a matching request can decide whether to respond and, if so, submit a price offer for the route. These offers are created by transporters themselves, based on their actual availability and route planning.
This approach benefits both sides. Clients receive offers that reflect real feasibility rather than generic price estimates. Transporters can factor in their current routes, schedules, and capacity when making an offer.
In many cases, this also opens the door to more competitive pricing when a request fits into an existing or partially filled route.
Better Pricing Through Smarter Planning
Horse transport often involves empty or half-empty return trips. When a request aligns with such a route, transporters may offer more favorable prices simply because the logistics work in their favor.
Clients benefit from this flexibility by receiving offers that may include discounts compared to standard transport quotes. Transporters benefit by improving vehicle utilization and route efficiency.
This dynamic pricing is not forced by the platform — it emerges naturally from real-world transport planning.
No Commissions, Transparent Negotiation
MOVE.HORSE does not take commissions from completed transports. The platform does not interfere with pricing, negotiations, or agreements between the client and the transporter.
This commission-free model keeps incentives aligned. Transporters do not need to inflate prices to cover fees, and clients receive offers that reflect actual transport costs rather than platform overhead.
Flexible Dates for Real Transport Conditions
Instead of requiring a fixed transport date, the request tool allows clients to specify a date range. This gives transporters more flexibility to evaluate whether the request can be combined with other shipments or fitted into planned routes.
For clients, this increases the likelihood of receiving offers. For transporters, it supports better planning and route optimization.
Designed for Practical Use, Not Mass Broadcasting
The Transport Request tool is not a public bulletin board. Requests are targeted, relevant, and visible only to matching transporters. This keeps the system focused and avoids unnecessary competition or spam.
Both parties engage only when there is a realistic chance of completing the transport.
Final Thoughts
Transport requests on MOVE.HORSE are designed to create balance. Clients get a clear way to request transport and receive realistic offers without contacting dozens of companies. Transporters get relevant requests that fit their business and allow flexible pricing based on real logistics.
By combining structured requests, targeted visibility, flexible offers, and a commission-free model, MOVE.HORSE provides a transport marketplace that works for both sides — efficiently, transparently, and fairly.
