Question:
4/18/2008
Hello Shipper, what is your time frame for this move? Thanks Nick EMI TransportReport a Violation
Response: Nick, Can you re-submitt your bid this morming 5/12. I will be in the office till noon. If it's afternoon noon today, make it active until the 16th, I'm out of town again this week. Also, Savanah marina in IL, said the water should be down by week of 5/18 or 5/25. The river needs to drop another 2 feet. They also request it be picked on a week day. Everything is set up in Memphis to use the marina lift to unload. Thanks Larry Morotn5/12/2008Report a Violation
Response: : What kind of loading and unloading are we looking at? Thanks Nick EMI Transport4/18/2008Report a Violation
Response: Nick, Savannah does not have a lift, but they put this and other house boats in and out of the water annually with a trailer. So I would perfer to wet load. If that's not possible there is a marina about 20 miles down river that has a lift. The destination, McKellar Marina, has a lift. Larry4/18/2008Report a Violation
Response: : No prob on wet loading we wet load most of the house boats we ship, is this boat a 38 River Queen with twin dana out drives? 4/18/2008Report a Violation
Response: Nick, Yes, she's a River Queen, and has twin Eaton out drives.4/18/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Larry, I can move this no prob, but I cant di it for your target price, fuel price has gone crazy and using our wet load house boat trailer its deadhead there and back when we are done, the best I could do it for is $2900, let me know if this will work and I will submit a bid. Thanks Nick4/18/2008Report a Violation
Response: Hi Nick, Sorry, I've been out of town and could not answer your last e-mail. Your quote was 2900. I would be interested at 1.25 per mile + fuel. That would be 1500 in miles, and I would estimate 800 in fuel. I would estimate a range of 2300 - 2500. LArry Morton4/28/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Hello Larry, $2900 is the best I can do it for. Thanks Nick EMI Transport4/30/2008Report a Violation
Response: Hi Nick, Is your $2900 complete? Water load, permits, etc. Larry5/1/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Hello Larry, The $2900 is everything, Im booked for the next 3 weeks, I could do it after or if something comes open I could fit it in, Let me know and I will submit my bid. Thanks Nick EMI Transport5/2/2008Report a Violation
Response: OK Nick, Submit a bid. The river's above flood stage in Savannah, IL now so they're not allowing launch or load. Sould be down in three weeks. Thanks, Larry Morton 5/5/2008Report a Violation
