Ellsworth families PCS across the country from a small regional airport. Ground transport from Box Elder and Rapid City removes the connection risk entirely.
Private ground transport starts at $450 for short local runs (a $150 dispatch fee plus a $300 flat rate inside 100 miles). Longer trips are priced per mile — $1.50 a mile from 101–300 miles, $1.30 from 301–700, and $1.10 beyond 700 — plus a crate handling charge based on your pet's size, an overnight allowance on multi-day routes, and a per-pet charge after the first pet. The ranges below come from the same calculator used on our quote page.
| Route | Distance | Typical price, one pet |
