A float run is two properties, one animal and a day you do not get back. Book it as a day, not as a drop-off with a time beside it.
Online booking
An owner picks the float, gives the property they are leaving and the one they are going to, and takes a day that is genuinely still open.

Four hours out and four back is the day gone. Hold the whole of it and the afternoon stops looking like something you can still sell.
Learn moreFour hours out and four hours back is not a time slot. Hold the day and the afternoon stops looking like something still on the market.
Departure to return is one entry on the timeline, so a long run makes the float unavailable for the whole day rather than for the hour you typed.
The place you collect from and the place you deliver to sit on the booking, so nobody is ringing from a gate asking which paddock and which code.
The single and the two-horse are separate products at separate prices, so a job that needs the bigger one is never sorted out at the gate.
The expensive mistake is selling a Saturday afternoon while the float is four hours up the road. It should have left the page at dawn.
A mare going to stud and coming home weeks later is two bookings on one owner, so the return is in the diary rather than a good intention.
Built for your runs
One property to another with both addresses and the owner’s contact on the job, so the driver is not ringing from a gate looking for a gate code.
Set the run up once on Free and it repeats through the season, so a regular who competes every fortnight is not a booking call every fortnight.
The long run out and the return weeks later are two jobs on one owner, booked together and priced separately rather than half remembered.
A job that has to happen on a named day is held on that day, so nothing else gets promised into a morning that is already committed.
The two-horse float is its own product at its own price, so a job that needs it is never quietly given to the single and sorted out at the gate.
A run that eats a day and a night is held as a span rather than a departure time, so the float is not offered to anybody else while it is away.
Draw the areas you cover on a map, so a run four hours past your furthest job never lands on a week that could never have absorbed it.
Itemise the run, the waiting time and the return leg, send it, and the version they accept stays attached to the booking when they come back.
There is a distance past which a run costs you a day and pays for half of one. Draw it on a map once rather than judging it every time.
Mark the areas you run on a map rather than in a paragraph nobody reads, so the boundary is a fact rather than a conversation on the phone.
A run past your furthest job does not reach the diary, which beats accepting it and ringing back to explain the week will not take it.
A run outside your areas can still be booked by you by hand when it happens to suit the week, so the map shapes the diary rather than ruling it.
A float run is priced on the day it takes. Get that agreed in writing before the gate opens and the conversation at the other end is short.
The run, the waiting time and the return leg are itemised and accepted online, so what was agreed is on the booking rather than in a memory.
The full run can be paid by card at the moment of booking on Pro, which is the right answer for an owner you have not carried for before.
A regular paying by bank transfer after the run is recorded by hand on the Free plan, so the season reconciles without a separate spreadsheet.

As you grow with us you can go Pro.
Yes. The booking is a span from departure to return, so a run that takes four hours each way makes the float unavailable for the entire day.
With the Pickup and Delivery addon each job carries its own pick-up and drop-off address, which on a float run is most of what the driver needs.
Yes. A run set up once on Free repeats weekly or fortnightly and stops on the date the season ends, or after the number of runs you agreed.
Yes. Itemise the run, the waiting time and the return leg, send it for the owner to accept online, and the accepted version stays on the booking.
Yes. Draw the areas you cover on a map and work outside them does not reach your week, which beats declining it after you have already agreed.
Drag it. The owner keeps the same booking, price and confirmation, so the new date is not entered from scratch and nothing gets lost in the change.
