Question: I can pickup and deliver within 2 days. Monique WH Trucking (4/21/2008)

Response: that sounds great (4/21/2008)

Response: Please accept my bid if my terms are acceptable. Thanks Monique WH Trucking (4/21/2008)

Response: Monique, i am looking for $2200. i think someone out there can do that for me. thanks for the bid. Unfortunantly I must decline. Andrew (4/21/2008)

Response: Thanks for consideration. If your still unable to find someone, please keep us in mind. Monique WH Trucking (4/21/2008)

Response: you are welcome. I will. andrew (4/22/2008)

Response: I see you have this shipment often. Maybe negotiate a better price, if this will be an ongoing shipment. Part of the reason our price is higher; we have to pay 270 in usage fees and with diesel it will cost around 1100. If this is something your do on a regular, it will exclude the initial fee of 270. Since your last shipment diesel has gone up atleast .50. I know we would like to ship as cheap as possible, but we in the trucking industry are hit the hardest by high diesel prices. We have an air ride straight truck with a sleeper. I have a pair of team drivers. We are able to deliver within 2 days of delivery. I would love to earn your business. The lowest we could shipment this would be 2400. Thanks for your consideration. Monique WH Trucking (4/22/2008)

Response: monique, your mention of $2400 is interesting. does your team load / unload? andrew (4/22/2008)

Response: Sorry, we only offer team driver. Monique (4/22/2008)

Question: I am going to bid...This might be just right for us.. We are based in Texas and are members of both The Bettr Business Bureau and American Moving and Storage Association..We are will have to load and unload the job though due to our liablity.You are welcome to discuss on a one on one basis with driver if you want to..I am looking to see what I can do for that cost and will bid.. (4/21/2008)

Response: The load / unload is HEAVY WORK. I have 2 young guys that can load in 4 to 5 hours. It would take less time if you weren't trying to get it as tight as possible. The loading/unloading costs me $500. I have a similar delivery every 4 to 6 weeks. Andrew (4/22/2008)

Question: Now I look at this more..You got a good deal last time and was an exception for soem reason or anotehr so mover bid job I am sure to accomodate anotehr load he hd and did not want to make a dead run..However it is not going to be easy right now this time of the year as well as diesel cost to accomodate this properly with what you are looking to pay..The job is over 1700 miles and is just not even close to being feasible..It will cost over $1100 in fuel easily and that is being moderate..You only other options for this cost is freight.. Is it worth it to you if we load and unload it all? I am bidding let me know (4/21/2008)

Response: thanks for the information. The load / unload costs me $500. it is HEAVY WORK. I am not going to accept a bid at this point unless it is my target. thanks for considering this load. I ship a similar load every 4-6 weeks. andrew (4/22/2008)

Question: Hi, do you think it would fit in the back of my 20' trailer? Thanks (4/22/2008)

Response: i dont think so. thanks for considering it. andrew (4/22/2008)

Question: My team will be in Miami tomorrow evening or Friday morning. Please let me know if the dates and price work with you. Our truck is a 22ft Straight truck. Will this load take the entire truck? Monique WH Trucking (4/23/2008)

Response: monique, several things, your bid is $2750 the load is scheduled to deliver on 4-07-08 i am not ready yet. (4/23/2008)

Response: Per our conversation. My bid was $2400. I see now your delivery date isn't until 5-7-08. I assumed if your pickup date was 4/23, that it could deliver straight through. In that case, please consider our bid of $2400. We will be able to accomondate your pickup dates and deliver within 2 days. Thanks Monique (4/23/2008)
