Questions for this shipment: 

Question: You didn't specify, so my question is will a 40'flatbed work for you? or do you want a box trailer? JB Truckin (6/26/2009)
Response: Yes the 40' flatbed should do the job fine. Look forward to your bid. Thanks (6/26/2009)
Response: How many pallets? All I do is strap down/unstrap/deliver, that would be the extent of my loading/unloading, will that work for you?. Are these tents wrapped up good so they don't flap around? JB Truckin (6/26/2009)
Response: We don't know exactly how many pallets, it is by weight, 12,500lbs. I'm sure it will use all or most of your trailer. As far as flapping, the tents are in bundles and strapped to the pallets but there may be a little bit of flapping here and there. Depends how you strap it. The guys there will load it with a forklift. We just brought back a partial load out of the same lot this week on a small 13' trailer, just strapped down and had no problems. You could tarp it if you wanted. Thanks (6/26/2009)
Question: Are these coming from a military base? Are the dates & times limited? (6/26/2009)
Response: Yes, they are at Ft. Hood in Killeen. They must be picked up mon or Tues. at the latest. Thanks (6/27/2009)
Question: (6/27/2009)
Question: Which day do you prefer for pick-up?????? We can do it either day. thanks garfieldtotherescue (6/27/2009)
Response: I prefer Monday, they open at 7am. (6/27/2009)
Response: Monday would work for us... accept our bid and we'll get the ball rolling!We're ready to run. thanks Garfieldtotherescue (6/27/2009)
Question: Are you looking for a flat? It sounds like the most cost effective way may be a partial dry van. I have a contractor who is dropping in 3 pallets at our office in KCK leaving from Temple, Texas. Would this work for you? Thanks, James (6/27/2009)
Response: HI James, Sorry but I;m not sure what you mean by flat, flatbed? Parital dry 53' van would be fine. What would the rate be for that. We don't care whether it rides on a flatbed or in a van. Just want to be sure that the driver knows they will need a pallet jack with a van and will need to help load. (6/27/2009)
