Question: With you being a transporter yourself, and especially the area it needs to go to this time of year, why are you wanting it done for next to nothing ? You know for a fact yourself, that this should easily be a dollar twenty five a mile to transport this ! Did you accept a bid too cheap, and cannot make it work out, and now are trying to still make money on it, by hiring someone else to do it for way too cheap. You have declined three CHEAP BIDS ALREADY ! What are you looking to get this done for ? Not giving you ANY advice, just trying to figure this deal out. Its hard enough with other transporters on here catering to the shippers that want their property hauled for almost nothing, without other transporters trying to do the same, when they know what it costs do operate . Please advise. Thank you. (1/14/2008)
Response: Sir ~ With all due respect, you are correct I am a transporter. This trailer was stolen from me I need it to work. I don't get over $2.00 a mile I get .50 cents a mile if I am lucky. I run WA, OR, CA, NV, AZ, TX to make ends meet. Again, this is my personal property I NEED THIS TRAILER TO MAKE A LIVING. This listing is not to be brokered I am not making money off of it. I did accept a bid from a Driver who was going to use it for a load, which I agreed to, delivery was suppose to occure around Christmas I counted on their word, I have no trailer and am out the deposit. I hope this explains to your satisfaction my possession. Stay safe on the road. ~ Dee (1/14/2008)
Response: Well, that explains a lot. Hope you get justice out of that bad deal somehow. I hope someone can help you out on this, but I cannot for the price. Why are you only getting fifty cents or less a mile ? Any good transporter on here should get at least a dollar a mile for anything towed by fifth wheel, gooseneck, or bumper pull. For motorcycles you should get fifty cents a mile, otherwise you are just putting miles on your truck for nothing. None of this is advice, just simple facts. What is the rock bottom price you can pay to have this transported for ? (1/14/2008)
Response: Sir ~ I am legal, MC DOT I must carry cargo insurance. Some other uShip Drivers do not have Authority or Insurance. When I run I must run loaded or I am hurting myself. There are alot of GOOD transporters hurting right now, they have to keep up there insurance, licence, maintenance and economy is pinching them as well...... way to many drivers willing to work for nothing. There is no justice in our system the only justice is to take a gun and settle it yourself, I don't believe in being politically correct, I believe if someone steals your horse you have the right to hang em....... (1/14/2008)
Response: I agree on a lot of that, and know what you mean about all the costs to keep up with. But what is the bottom dollar you can pay to have this transported, and I will see if I can accomadate you, I have another deal in the works as we speak going the same way. Might be able to help out. (1/14/2008)
Response: Sir ~ Thank you for your kindness. I want no Driver to hurt himself in this transport. I honestly had quotes last time I listed this trailer in the $750 to %500 range if I would allow the transporter to use my trailer with loads, which I agreed to. I do appreciate your efforts. My best. ~ Dee (1/14/2008)
Response: I will get back to you if it is still listed, and I get something together for sure going that way. Thanks, Rob. (1/14/2008)
Response: Thank you. (1/14/2008)
Question: Sorry, it should be to operate, NOT do operate. Also, I am not trying to give you a hard time, or be smart with you. Just some simple facts and questions to you is all. I do look forward to hearing back from you on this, and thanks again. (1/14/2008)
Response: Will try to post a photo of the trailer, which I am not good at by the way, photo should give you an idea of what it is that I want transported. (1/14/2008)
Question: I will be ready to head your way toward the end of next week and if you could I wouldnt mind help finding a load to haul along with me,thanks,Mike. (1/17/2008)
Response: Please send me another question so I will be able to keep in contact with you. (1/17/2008)
Response: Any luck finding a load? (1/17/2008)
Response: Yes.....I believe very good ones....please place bid so we can talk..... (1/17/2008)
Question: have you reported this company to the proper people? I did read some of the Q's and A's, and all is rite on shipping, evrybody wants to carry for nothing!?! how do we make money if everybody keeps cutting throats of others??? I hope your trailer makes the trip to you soon!! best regards earthworm-alternative transport- (1/18/2008)

Question: We can pull it back for you asap for 980.00 (1/18/2008)
Response: Thank you very much for taking the time to email me. I don't want to insult you, you price is most reasonable my budget only allows $750. Thank you again for your kind offer. (1/18/2008)
Response: If I do it for 750 can I put an one or two ATVs
(Yamaha Rhinos) on the trailer? there combined weight
is only about 1 ton. (1/18/2008)
Response: You are most welcome to utilize the trailer. It is quite strong and low to the ground, easy to load, I miss it. The truck I pull the trailer with is called oink-oink so you can see I get way to attached to my equipment. I do keep my equipment up, they only thing I would ask is please check out the ramps before you load, I don't know what shape they are in. Thanks ~ Dee (1/18/2008)
Question: dee i put in a bid last time you listed thought you had it already hope you get it soon id put in a bid but im in fl now god bless ocspeed (1/18/2008)
Response: Good Morning ~ Thanks so much for the note. The Driver that bid last time must have encountered some difficulties. They kept promising they would deliver but...........they just quit emailing and returning phone calls. It would have been so much niceer if they would have said they couldn't transport so I could have relisted and found another Driver quicker. BUT I did get to meet you, thats a positive. Nice to hear from you, take care, maybe our roads will cross. ~ Dee (1/18/2008)
Question: I am waiting to hear back from a boat owner...but if you have things lined up that pay decent lets do it...I am pulling with a pick up so can also fill the back of the truck. (1/18/2008)
Response: I want to be sure that you are absolutely comfortable with your quote. The road is tough, especially if you don't have enough funds. I
you can pick your own loads, just want you to be comfortable. If your married you are planning on being away for a while; think it over if your sure I'll accept you bid. Thank you. (1/18/2008)
