Commercial Equine Charter & Bloodstock Air-Ride Transport Manual
The high-welfare thoroughbred logistics standard: air-ride suspension box stall configurations, digital Coggins & CVI health paperwork indexing, in-transit hydration monitoring, and charter flight connection dispatch.
Air-Ride Box Stalls
Multi-horse commercial vans feature custom air-ride chassis and modular aluminum gate partitions. Configurations switch between 15-horse slant layouts, 9 stall-and-a-half suites, and 6 full loose box stalls for stallions or mares in foal.
Coggins & CVI Compliance
Every commercial horse load requires negative Coggins EIA test verification and a state Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI). Exspeedite blocks load dispatch if veterinary clearance dates expire prior to delivery.
In-Transit Telemetry
High-value racehorses are prone to shipping fever and colic. In-van climate sensors monitor thermal comfort while drivers log 4-hour hydration, hay replenishment, and rest stop intervals directly into the mobile driver portal.
