Thanks for the advice, Brett. I've never been credited as an "average thinker". I just thought, one night, how cool would it be to say, "I carried a rhino to the zoo," or "I just carried a Bengal Tiger 1,200 miles..." I've always enjoyed hanging out at zoos, and love "exotic animals" like that. I just think it would be the best of both worlds. It would definitely make cool conversation.

I did see that video on YouTube, The Dude, about the giraffe hauler in Australia (?) where the truck driver killed a giraffe by forgetting that his clearance was not as low as the bridge he just passed.

I've heard that there's a LOT of liability attached to hauling these guys. The value alone is considerable, not to mention: what if an accident breaks the cage, what if the animal is injured in anyway, feeding and caring for the animal, or what if the animal is sensitive to altitude change, like driving up the Vail Pass (I-70). Even my ears tend to get funky on that stretch. I'd like to turn the rumors to reality, and start learning for sure. Thanks again, for the advice.

I just finished my CDL-A training, at C.R.England, in Salt Lake City. I'm curious to know where I need to go to get started hauling exotic animals, like zoo animals. I get that I may need experience first, so what would be my best bet? Start small, like with cattle hauling or Petco? Wait. How does Petco deliver their animals to the stores? Do they have a breeding/distribution center or something?

Anyway, if anyone can point me to the right direction with the least experience required (like I said, I just got my CDL) I would much appreciate it.
