At Maple Tree Farm. We will care for your babies like they were our own and treat you like family. We don't just transport alpacas. We care for YOUR alpaca. We don't break any speed records and we don't haul 40 animals at a time. We feel we are big enough to offer you reasonable rates and small enough to love and care for your alpaca while he or she is on our transport. We will be happy to provide references of folks who have had an alpaca cared for by Maple Tree Caring Transport. We are your animals only advocate on the trip and the animals come FIRST!
Move your alpacas in comfort. We travel with a 2006 Dodge Cummins diesel and a new fully insulated trailer with A/C, HEAT! or natural ventilation. This trailer is a Gentle Ride trailer designed with rubber torsion suspension to give your animals the gentlest ride possible. Our priority is how comfortable your alpaca rides and how little stress it is subjected to not how fast we can fly down the freeway. We keep an eye on your investment with our on board video system. Rest assured that your animals will be treated with the utmost care and will have plenty of room. We don't overcrowd and adjust our speeds and routes to provide a safer less stressful ride for your investment. Our first concern is the health and saftey of our passengers. With cria on board we stop every 2 hours and 40 minutes and let the cria nurse until satisfied. When we see all milk moustaches we head back down the road. If we have a nervous mom or skittish cria we just wait them out. Our goal is to have them arrive at their destination chewing their cud. 

At Maple Tree Farm we treat each client the way we would like to be treated. You will know when we plan to arrive and will keep you updated along the route as to any changes in arrival time. You are encouraged to call us along the way for updates as often as you like. We pride ourselves in being ON TIME and keeping you INFORMED.  We deliver or pick up from 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM.

Show Transport 
  
If there is sufficient interest we are considering a special transport to shows that will keep your alpaca comfortable, stress free and CLEAN. Don't spend hours trying to get your pride and joy clean enough to show. Have them arrive in show condition!
Animals will have a minimum of 16 square feet of space and no more than 3 animals per pen (unless otherwise requested). They will travel in either air Conditioned or heated comfort as the climate requires and bed on only paper bedding. Hay will be supplied on the floor only to keep necks and top knpots as clean as possible. We will also supply show coats for the trip if desired. There will be a limit of 11 alpacas on board.

The space per animal will be doubled (16 sq. ft.) but the price will be only 50% higher. This service will be offered only if there is enough interest in the service to warrant a trip. Please email or call us if you feel this may be a service that wold be of interest. If we find sufficient interest we will start planning this special service for our clients.

 Hi Tom! 
Sorry I missed your call last night. 
Arleta and Buster seem to be doing fine.  I don't think there was any or not too much strees during their travels or arrival at new farm. 
They seem to be settling and learning routine.  We got hit with about 10 inches of snow Tues/Wed and they don't seem too bothered by that either. 
Looking forward to being able to put them with everyone else.  Love to see how they all interact, etc.
 
Your transport gets an A+++ from me and I will use and recommend whenever appropriate.
 
Thanks again!  Safe travels.

I have a female that hopefully is pregnant and if so will be ready to leave our farm and head for Bethel, Ohio in mid January.  Would you
 reserve me a place in your alpaca trailer. We werevery pleased with your service when you brought our female here from Tenino WA
Thanks
