Additional Information: I have a 1990 40 Ft. Gillig bus that need to be moved from Duluth, GA to Tulsa, OK. This bus is driveable without a tow hitch. Top speed for the bus is 62 miles/hr. The bus doesn't have a fuel gage however I fill it up every 275-300/miles. I need someone to pick up the bus on 3-2-07. Please don't bid if you cannot make that date. IF you have any question please feel free to email me. The bus is coverted out as a RV, however we will use the space inside to store boxes.
I am willing to pay 50% at pickup and 50% at delivery

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I do not have insurance at this time, but I am willing to help you out if you allow me. Take a look at my feedback and you will see that I am a reliable, safe driver. I will drive your vehicle to it's destination at your targeted price if my bid is accepted within the next few days. I will haul any boxes or anything that need to be on the bus at no additional charge. I will bid at $1,000. Thanks! Andy. (11/13/2006)
Response: Im going to read your feedback and get back to you (11/14/2006)
Question: Uship requires our bids be for the full price of the move. To do an accurate bid I would need the estimated MPG of the bus.As you say you fill it every 300 miles and whats the average gallons you put in at that time. Does it have a license plate? Is it a bus tag or RV tag as this makes a difference if it needs state permits for use as a commercial vehicle. And the insurance, is the bus covered by you and you just want a driver to be insured. I don't see how your other bidders gave you a price without asking questions but that's their deal. I live in Blairsville and could operate in your time frame when the deal is set up. (11/14/2006)
Response: Yes the bus has a license Plate, and it's registered in GA as a mobile home. It gets about 6 miles to a gallon. The Bus is covered by my insurance (11/15/2006)
Question: Some of us just know these things without all of the millions of ?'s. Between moving loads and moving families accross the country, I have been drive/delivering vehicles. I have recieved three positives within the last week and a half. Thanks! (11/14/2006)
Response: andy i do like ur feedback, give me some time to think about it (11/15/2006)
Question: When you say "This bus is driveable without a tow hitch." do you mean that it does not have to be towed, or that the bus you want moved has no tow hitch on the back, like to pull a tow-car? (11/14/2006)
Response: meaning that you cannot pull/tow a car (11/15/2006)
Question: can this be shipped any sooner? like sometime next week. thanks Jay (11/15/2006)

Question: Ok. Make sure you check out my feedback by wednesday of next week. I am on my way now to deliver a churh bus and a mini mobile home. I should have two more positives. Thanks! Andrew. (11/15/2006)
Question: mlewis1024 - Please check my feedback. I am very adept at driving large vehilce. I have a large pickup and a 33 foot camper, and a 24 foot enclosed trailer. I drove a switch tractor in college a backed a couple hundred 33 foot and 53 foot trailers per day. This 40 ft bus will be no problem for me. I can transport this bus on 12/2.

Question: mlewis1024 - You may not be near a computer, seems like you mentioned that you would be busy for a while. If you could give me some feedback as soon as is possible for you, I would appreciate it. Pending the timing of my bid, I will need to purchase a flight ticket very soon. Thanks. (11/21/2006)
Question: I thought that I would have two new positives for you to read, but that guy's equiptment wasn't roadworthy and he decided that I shouldn't get paid for the 500 miles that I drove for him and I slept in the cold vehicle all night just trying to get it delivered for him. Even after his negative feedback, I am still being called frequintly to move vehicles. I am still interested in this job. Thanks! (11/22/2006)
Question: My feedback situation is back on track. The last job I did, the guy's vehicle left me stranded and he just wanted me to abandon his vehicle and he didn't to pay me for the 700 miles I had already driven. Uship cleared everything up. What's the status with you all at this time. I am still patiently waiting so take your time. Just let me know a few days ahead of time if you are going to want me to do this for you. Thanks! (11/27/2006)
Question: My bid expires today. I am the most reasonable bid. I would need to do this before Dec 14th. I have too many plans during the holidays and will be involved with the Detroit Auto show during the first two weeks on Jan. Thanks (11/28/2006)
