Question: Will this be ready by Wednesday? We will be in that area....thx...Jim (2/5/2008)
Response: HI ,
THIS ATV IS READY NOW. (2/5/2008)
Response: Thank-you for the prompt reply... I will call the driver in a little bit, but he'll ask me these questions.
1) How far north of I20 are you? 2) Can it be accessed easily w/ semi-tractor/trailor?... Sorry for the questions here, but this is how it has to be done.. He'll be back up thru there Thursday or Friday.
Jim (2/5/2008)
Response: it is not far from I20 AND IT CAN BE REACHED BY SEMI TRUCK WITH NO PROBLEMS, THOUGH THOSE GUYS OVER THERE DON'T HAVE A RAMP OF FORKLIFT TO LOAD STUFF ON SEMI TRUCK. DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE HAVE ANY KIND OF RAMP???

Response: Great, thx again for the reply... I spoke with the driver about 2 hours ago, he had just dropped of a machine in Witchita, then heading to Oklahoma City.. He also has stops in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, but one of them is an 8am delivery...and I forget which one he told me it was. Once he gets this "circle done" he'll be unloaded, then heading towards Louisiana... (2/5/2008)
Response: ok, so when could you pick up the atv and deliver that to chicago? and i just want to make sure that you guys will be able to load it to your semi truck... (2/5/2008)
Response: Not sure we can make this happen, goto yahoo maps, and add these zip codes...and you'll see his path. He was in Waco at 8:30am 76701 > 76903 he's here now) then > 78205 > 77201 (Houston, he said he'd have time tomorrow) but he then has to be 71446 8am Friday (2/6/2008)
Response: guys so it is up to you, if you can pick it up or not, just let me know if you can do that or not.thanks (2/6/2008)
Response: Sorry, we're not going to be able to make this happen for you. From Houston, it's 216 miles (108 dollars in fuel) not including drive time to get to you, then another 204 miles to where he has to load tomorrow AM. Here's one thing to consider... If you were to go get this yourself, in a pick up that got 20mpg, you'd be buring 133.00dollars in fuel one way...that 1way.. Doesn't include time or any type of "overhead" for the vehicle.. If anyone grabs this for you at your MAX...I'd be wondering if I would ever get it. Thing is, you're kind of off the beaten path at the origin for north-south routes.. 66 miles from Shreveport and 132 from Dallas. Again, sorry...it is just that when I first contacted you, I was unaware of his route...and whether or not something along I20 would come up for us, worthwhile to grab. Jim (2/7/2008)
Question: Time = 2:34pm... OK, just heard from our driver.. He'll be loading his 71446 this evening ( instead of tomorrow morning ), and "might" be spending the night in Shreveport at a motel. He said we could do this for $175.00 if someone was able to drop it to him in Shreverport (66 miles) to where he would be. Then, it would be available for you to pick-up at our warehouse I-90/I-43 Saturday AM. Would need to know by 5 pm at the latest this evening, as he'd based his stopping for the eve...based on this. Just an offer, and again sorry we weren't on I-20 Jim (2/7/2008)
