Call Before You Haul

Call Before You Haul

Boat Transporter Reporting Form
This form collects details from individuals transporting boats overland on trailers, including origin and destination information. Participating in this program should expedite travel through the network of watercraft inspection and decontamination stations throughout the western states.

The Call Before You Haul program was created to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species via trailered watercraft. Launched in December of 2021 by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, a toll-free number (1-844-311-4873) was established to collect information on boats being transported to expedite travel through western state inspection stations and make arrangements for inspections, and if need be, decontaminations of watercraft harboring aquatic invasive species. This form, an option to calling the hotline by providing this information online, is input into the Call Before You Haul system after submission.

Thank you for completing the form and doing your part to protect our nation's aquatic resources and the many businesses and industries that depend on these resources.
