Question: Hi shipper, we're an independent moving company based out of Iowa City, IA. We'll be passing through around the 6th of November. We have a semi with a 53' kentucky trailer and are looking for loads. Would these dates work and what price are you looking to ship this for? Do you have a weight estimate for your shipment? Sincerely, Billy - Adamantine Spine Moving (11/2/2009)
Response: Hello, Billy
Yes, the November 6 date would be fine. These few pieces are estate furniture, 1 pc ~150 lbs and the rest are 20-30 lbs each, so maybe 300 lbs total.
I'm hoping to spend $250 to get them to the Dallas, Texas area (final destination is Murphy, TX)
we really only need to get the pieces to a terminal, no door to door necessary.
Let me know

Response: Jim, thanks for the response, we have a $400 minimum charge for all interstate shipments, it just isn't worth it for us to do it for any less. If you can swing this, let me know and I'll place a formal bid, otherwise, good luck! -Billy (11/3/2009)
Response: Billy, if we can do this for $400, let's do this. Please enter a bid, and let's get this going; thanks- Jim (11/3/2009)
Response: Jim, sounds great, before I place a bid, a few quick questions: How many stairs are there at each location? Would there be help at the origin to assist me in loading? I'll have a co-driver when I deliver, but I'll be alone when I pick them up. -Billy (11/3/2009)
Response: Billy - zero stairs; the pieces are in a storage faclity in Elyria at the moment, but I can load them into a minivan and meet you either very early Wednesday morning or very early Thursday morning if that works.
otherwise I can have the pieces in a garage in Elyria. And I will be your load helper if we can do this Wed or Thur
2 questions for you:
1.Can we do this Thursday morning? (that's my better day)
1. Where is the terminal you'd use in Texas for our pickup?
Thanks,
- Jim (11/3/2009)
Response: I'll be leaving Iowa City on Wednesday afternoon. I should be able to be in Elyria by Thursday Morning. We will deliver to your home in Plano, barring any unforeseen complications preventing a large semi from accessing the location on Nov 15th. -Billy (11/3/2009)
