Questions for this shipment: 

Question: We all need to know the pallet sizes unless you are just going to load a trailer. Just using 48" you need 72 feet of deck, so some will need to be double stacked is that OK? Your total wt is pushing the max so please make sure you are correct. (10/29/2009)
Response: 48/48/48 (10/29/2009)
Question: Shipper, the Department of Transportation has set weight limits for dry van freight. The most you can legally haul in a 53 ft van is 45,500 lbs. A flatbed can haul much more, however, I wouldn't advise shipping books across country on a flatbed truck even with the best tarps money can buy. (10/29/2009)
Response: [phone number removed] (11/9/2009)
Response: We're ready to rock and roll... (11/9/2009)
Response: Just wait to find out the total amount (11/9/2009)
Question: Can all sick pallets fit on one truck? (11/6/2009)
Response: I am not sure. The books are at Trans-Group and they have put 28 pallets together so far and they estimate the balance of the books will equal about 36 pallets. The rest of the books right now are just in large boxes. What would you charge to take a truck load? Thanks for your consideration. Mona (11/7/2009)
Question: Shipper, what type of help do you require at the shipper/reciever? Should be able to meet your target rate on this... (11/9/2009)
Response: You will need to load the truck. (11/9/2009)
Response: We can have the driver assist with the loading but he will charge a fee of $75 per location. The fee is paid directly to him. Are you ok with this? Please advise... (11/9/2009)
Response: What would the total amount be. (11/9/2009)
Response: $3350. I will re-bid in that amount. (11/9/2009)
Question: How soon are you looking to have this shipment picked up?? (11/9/2009)
Question: I CAN SHIP YOUR ITEMS BUT DUE TO LOAD CONTROL WILL HAVE TO SCHEDULE 3 PICK UPS OF 12 PER LOAD WILL USE UPS FREEIGHT LTL FREIGHT WILL PICK UP ASAP WITH 3 DAYS 12 PER DAY IF YOU ARE FLEXIBLE-IF YOU ARE WILL DO 2500 WE HAVE BIDDED ERNJUN (11/9/2009)
