Additional Information: I probably shouldn't say this, but money is not the primary object here. I have been burned in the past by a national mover and would rather have a couple of guys solely dedicated to taking care of my stuff, rather than a slot on an 18 wheeler that cannot stick to a schedule due to other space on their trailer. Also, companies who demand a money order prior to offload need not respond. Who gets paid for a service prior to the service?...nobody. If I had to guess, I've got 2500 - 3000 lbs. and need a direct drive to NY with an immediate unload. Report a Violation

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello Shipper, we are a small, independent moving company based in Iowa City, IA. We can p/u on March 20th and deliver on the 26th. We are professional full service movers with great rates. A few questions: 1. Is there anything preventing semi access at both ends? ie tight turns overheads less than 13'6" or bridges w/ weight restrictions. 2. How many stairs would be involved at each end? Please reply if you are interested. Billy, Adamantine Spine Moving. (3/3/2007)
Response: not sure about the destination yet...am flying out next week to find a place. This is going to be a tight time frame, but I think the time frame you reference will work. No restrictions on origination end. No stairs at origination except for porch stairs (3) and the upstairs of the house. (3/3/2007)
Question: We can provide dedicated service and p/u anytime. Delivery can ba made within 2-3 days after p/u. (3/3/2007)
Response: will definitely keep you in mind. I like the dedicated pu part. As I mentioned...am willing to pay a premium for dedication and flexibility. Question for you...are you gonna use an 18 wheeler or a smaller truck? (3/3/2007)
Question: We will probably (95% sure) use a straight truck for this move, I don't like driving a semi in NYC. I'll post a bid based on the dedicated service and expedited delivery. We are flexible as far as the dates are concerned. Billy (3/3/2007)
Response: received your bid...thanks. I need to spend a week in NY (wed thru tues, this week and next) to figure out where I'm going to end up. question: does this bid include taking apart bed and dining table (and reassembly), loading, unloading, blankets, gas etc.? Pound limit? Sorry to be so anal, but got burned not long ago by a national moving company. (3/3/2007)
Question: No problem, I like it when shipper ask a lot of questions, that way there are no surprises for either of us and the move goes smoothly. We provide full service moving, door to door, including furniture (dis)assembly and pad wrapping all furniture before loading. This quote is based on a 3000lbs shipment. Anything over 3250lbs will incur and additional fee of $2.60/lb. (3/3/2007)
Response: Hi jonesy, Am now in NY ... I think I've found a place. Quick question - are you still able to pick up on 20th and deliver on 23rd of this month? Andy (3/10/2007)

We can pick up your items on the 21/22nd and will have them in NY by the 24th. Please consider us for your move. Also, questions are gladly welcome. Thank you Peter Kimball Trucking (3/10/2007)
Question: That'll work for us. Just let us know and we'll get things rolling. Thanks. Jonesy (3/10/2007)
Response: Fantastic...I won't be back in Wisconsin until Wednesday, but I've got a place in Bohemia, NY and will accept your bid thru uship. Let's plan on pickup 20th and deliver on 23rd. Thanks for everything - look forward to working with you. Andy (3/10/2007)
