What all do you do when you pick up and do you shrink wrap if I have to put things in storage?
How much will you charge?
More questions later.
Thanks (5/4/2008)
Response: This are 26' straight truck with ramp and liftgates new under lease so break downs are not a worry. But it cost a little more, but I believe worth worry free shipping. The TV in the pic plasma/lcd, I ask because of crating? We can shrink wrap, but wqe prefer pad wraping. We can bring brown wrap if you plan to store. Let me know I will include in bid. I am doing these question from phone so communication is not problem. On bid I ask for half down the other on delivery. I don't do credit card. But our bid will be fair and include evrything you ask for. (5/4/2008)
Response: Can I get your dot and mc#? Do you carry insurance on your hauls.
What is your bid? Do you charge by lb. or straight fee? How long have you been in business and are you listed with BBB?

If you ask for 50% at pickup then why can't I pay you all of it at delivery since you will have all my stuff on your truck? It will be a cash payment. (5/16/2008)

If you are here then you will be doing the job.
So I can't pay you when you deliver?
You will have all my items, so I will be trusting you, so why can't you trust me. If I don't pay then I don't get my stuff, right?
I will be following you after you load up.
You will load my stuff up from a storage unit here in Yukon Ok.
I do want you to do the job. I am just trying figure out the situation.

Response: Hi Ray,
I just have a few more question.
You do have at least a 26 truck right?
I just want to make sure you are going to have room for all my items.
You have read everything I have listed, right?
And there should be no problem in delivering on time right?
We will have open communication, right?
I just don't want you to come and get my things and not have room for all of it.
Please be sure.
Thank you for all your time. (5/19/2008)
