$3000 for a 48-53 flatbed max weight 46klbsReport a Violation
Response: When would you be able to pick up the hay? How do you need this amount paid? CC? I have worked this out and it is too high for the cost of the hay. Could you do it for $2500 which I am told is the going rate for shipping hay, about $100 per ton. Thank you.4/19/2012Report a Violation
Response: : yes, credit card or paypal via our website for the first load and I can work with you on the rate to make it work4/19/2012Report a Violation

can get you loaded before the weekend unless we go too low with the rate. basically, the lower we go the longer it takes to find a willing truckReport a Violation
Response: Rick, I would like to move ahead with this if you can. I have secured the hay and would like to get you to get it here soonest. Please let me know how we proceed from here. Liz4/19/2012Report a Violation
Question:
4/19/2012
what size and shape are the bales, and do you want it tarped?Report a Violation
Response: I will have to find out the answers to that tomorrow, I will send a message as soon as I speak to the grower. I will ask his advice on the tarping.4/19/2012Report a Violation
Response: : as part of my service, I can talk with him to make sure the right truck is sent in. I moved 150 hay loads last season using all equipment types. I would also ask how you intend to unload it. Flatbeds are easy, but cost more than vans. If a van can be used to load/unload, then I could save you a few hundred dollars per load. - Rick4/19/2012Report a Violation
Response: I have sent a text to make sure the hay is still available, he said he had another buyer when we spoke late yesterday. I have asked whether a van could be used, and when he replies tomorrow I will send you his number and I will make arrangements to buy the hay and to pay you for the shipping. I can get a squeeze at this end, I will ask him how he loads the hay at his end. Thanks so much, Liz Rick, how do we move forward with this? I have secured the hay, and would like to make arrangements for you to pick it up, Liz4/19/2012Report a Violation
Response: : No problem Liz. If your grower is out, I can get you alfalfa, 15% grass for $205/ton out of Montana. I personally don't know anything about hay or if this rate is high or low. I only know that these bales go to large dairy farms several loads at a time and I could arrange some in your direction or anywhere for that matter.4/19/2012Report a Violation
Response: Ron still has the hay. His phone number is [phone number removed] He wants me to send a check with you for the hay, but will you be coming from here? Can I pay you with Credit Card? Liz4/19/2012In Violation
Response: : just accept my bid. I really need to talk to your hay guy to figure out what type of truck you need4/20/2012Report a Violation
Response: Have not done this before, but it says there are no bids on this. I spoke to Ron today and he would prefer a flat bed for loading, but I must say the hay being safely in a van suits me well. How much hay can you get in the van was a question he had.4/20/2012Report a Violation
