Question: Hello Shipper. I have a few options for you in case you were interested: The way you have your shipment now residence to residence $375 / If you drop off at a terminal near by and have it picked up at a terminal near delivery location $275 / Picking up at residence but holding on dock at terminal near delivery for pick up $325. Let me know what option you would like and I will place a bid for that. Thanks (4/24/2008)
Response: Hello,
I can have it shipped from a Loading Dock to a freight terminal. It looks now like the best time to ship would be 1 May and was checking to see if you could get it there within 4 days, i.e. 5 May. Thanks!

Response: This lane has a 2 day standard transit time so if you ship it on May 1st it should be there May 5th because weekends do not count as a day, LTL carriers to not run on weekends. So, unless you wanted a gaurenteed price it SHOULD deliver on Monday the 5th with a 98% on time rate but there is always that 2% failure. Now, because you are leaving it at the terminal it should be ready for pick up on Monday without an issue. Let me know and thanks (4/24/2008)

Question: Hello Shipper. I am the guy in the beginning of the Q&A that gave you multiple options and it looks like my prices are better than your current rates but you never got back to me, would you like me to place a formal bid and which option did you want. Res to Res/Res to terminal/Terminal to terminal? Thanks (4/28/2008)
Response: thanks for the reply! Would be from Terminal to RES where the member could unload 800 lbs. Also can you have it there by this Thursday? Thanks! Dean

Response: Alright, I have placed my bid for you dropping off at terminal and we will deliver to residence using a lift gate. Getting it there Thursday is no problem, this is a 2 business day standard transit time so we would need you to drop at terminal today or tomorrow. The bid is under Distribution, thanks. (5/5/2008)
Response: Sir
Can you pick up at LaCrosse Forage Turf which has ability to load pallet? Do you know of terminal in Addison where you could drop? Customer said he would go to pick up at terminal in Addison. Thanks!
Dean

Response: Yes, picking up at a business location in LaCross will not change the rate and can do no problem. As far as the delivery terminal, we have one in Battle Creek, MI which is about 70 miles from Addison so you would want to check with them to see if that is too far. Thanks (5/5/2008)
Response: Could you get it to Jackson? Thanks!
Dean
(5/5/2008)
Response: Sorry, no terminal there, if someone on the receiving end can find a business in town that will let them use their dock or business location then we can do it for the same price, the only reason it is higher is because it is considered a residential delivery. Is there a co-op or something in their town, do they know someone that runs a small business? (5/5/2008)
