Questions for this shipment: 

Question: if you get the tires fixed, I'll do it late next week for 300. (5/3/2008)
Response: I'm in Colorado, I'll see what I can do on Tuesday to get someone to air them up. Thanks, I really appreciate your help. I'll write again Tuesday to confirm. John (5/3/2008)
Question: Hi, I see your price is at around .50 cents per mile.and would need to be winched to (5/13/2008)
Response: [removed – unrelated to services offered] (6/5/2008)
Response: I dont appreciate this being sent to me! I have nothing to do with this. (6/5/2008)
Response: Sorry, I had to borrow your response space, this has "nothing" to do with you. BAD ATTITUDE (see bottom) likes calling his "customers" bad names, then, ironically, switches his viewpoint. Nice to know the good shippers from the bad. (6/5/2008)
Question: Hi, I see your price is at around .50 cents per mile.and would need to be winched on to the trailer. I may be in that area heading back to denver and if this other deal goes through I could do this job for a total of 375. That is as low as I could possibly do this for. If this will work for you then let me know and I will place the bid. Thank you! (5/13/2008)
Question: how about just selling it (5/16/2008)
Response: No thanks. (5/16/2008)
Question: sorry to see you thought our price was too high. We are not local to each location. that was our best number. Good luck, mazz (5/17/2008)
Response: No, it's not you, it's a wallet issue on my end. (5/17/2008)
Response: good luck and be careful at the numbers your talking no legal carrier would touch. mazz (5/17/2008)
Response: Yeah, I know, in the end I will regret it. Just a normal guy. Trying to make things work. (5/17/2008)
Question: I can do it for your target price if you can wait untill I get through KS (5/21/2008)
Response: Probably, when is that ? (5/21/2008)
Response: End of june (5/21/2008)
Question: Has this been done yet. And can the car be pushed onto a flat bed. If so I can do it this weekend (5/28/2008)
Response: Front tires are flat and off the bead, if you have a way to air them up it would be no problem. (or two chevy rims 5 on 4 3/4) Sometimes if you just jack the tire off the ground (to get the bead lined back up) and add air, thats all it takes. I do have a guy that wants to do it at the end of June, but I have to pay storage, so sooner is better for me. John (5/29/2008)
Question: Good luck fuel prices have gone up since the 80s (6/1/2008)
Response: [content removed-unrelated to services] (6/1/2008)
Response: LOL (6/1/2008)
Question: Transporters are here to make money not stroke egos. Look at your demands! Fix Flat tires and you need rims from the transporters for your car. You have a book of questions and answers with no results and do not want to pay for what you ask for. Be realistic look at fuel prices and all the other stuff the transporters are required to do and then what you want them to do, Tell everything up front let everyone know whats going on with the car take a far bid for everything you need. It is a 84 Corvette not running I know it is a nice car the transporters on here will do you right DO NOT PLAY GAMES WITH THEM LIKE YOU ARE!!!!!! (6/1/2008)
Response: Wow, you really are a jerk. (6/1/2008)
Response: As military vets wihaving served over 20 years each we considered your comment as a compliment,now when you get back from your trip we wish you good luck on your shippment,and again thanks!!!!!!!!!! (6/2/2008)
Question: You shouldn't bad mouth people here, remember other shippers are still looking at your listing to do a job for you, if you have a problem with what more than one person is saying, maybe you should take into consideration you could be asking too much. This car has been listed for a number of weeks now, and noone has shipped it yet. THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING??? (6/5/2008)
Response: They shouldn't act like children. Did you actually read what was written ? I'm not "forcing" anyone to tow this vehickle. It is their "choice" to accept or deny. What is "not" acceptable to me is smart remarks when I turn a bid down. It's my vehicle and my money. The person in question offered to do it for my "target" price, (If I would wait until the end of June) then changed his mind and submitted a bid for much more $$. Well, he bid himself out of the job....did I make a rude comment ? NO......he did....and he was proud of it. I merely commented on his behaviour. He accused me of "not" disclosing the vehicles condition, well, read for yourself, it clearly states that the two front tires are flat and off the bead, it clearly states that the vehicle does not run. This is not a primary shipment, it is a supplement shipment, it is meant to enhance a run already being made. (6/5/2008)
Response: Hey, my truck was stolen a few weeks ago, otherwise I would have already jumped on this. I have to go from Missouri to Arizona with an enclosed 24' trailer that I haven't even gotten to tow yet, I just bought it the day before the truck was stolen, but it will be EMPTY the whole way there. This is just gas money for the trip I already have to take. Insurance is due to settle 1 week from today and if anyone hasn't gotten this I'll do it for your target no problem. I carry a winch, air tank, and usually the necessary tools to get the job done. Check my feedback before my truck was stolen. Good luck to ya, Ron Hall username Bad_Attitude (6/5/2008)
Response: Let me know, I did see that you had good comments before the theft. I also see that you lost your temper when somebody crossed the line.....glad thats never happened to me. (LOL) (6/5/2008)
Response: LOL, Yea my wife says my user-name here says it all for me. I'll keep you posted on the truck situation, hopefully this week they will settle. (6/8/2008)
Response: Cool, truth is, I used to do towing, loved the driving and the freedom, "hated" it when things broke. (or in your case....ripped off) Hopefully, my deal will cover some gas $$ and make your other shipment that much better. (6/8/2008)
Response: I've been very lucky, I've only been ripped off when I DIDN'T have anything that belonged to any one of my customers, only been ripped off for my own personal stuff. Last time the bastards got some cash and my pistol.LOL (6/8/2008)
Response: I went to pick up a car in Canon City, my trailer (with no load) literally came apart, spent the day at a welding shop. Even after getting the car I lost $500.00 for the day. Engines, trannies, rear ends, some days your the windshield, some days your the bug. Here's to better days. (tips cap) (6/9/2008)
Question: Hello shipper, sometimes your the windshield and sometimes your the bug. I have not heard that for years. you lifted my spirits, let me know if you need this shipped. Thank you JBT. (6/18/2008)
Response: Yes, it still needs a lift.... (6/18/2008)
Question: This job has required more question space than any six others, but gives us something to read. If the jobs still needs done and my schedule works out, can probably use it as a "filler" and bring it back this Sunday for about $330. Let me know? Thanks! (6/23/2008)
Response: I think I just answered my own question, you are based out of Castle Rock. Vehicle will be going to Harleys Auto Tech, [address removed]. (Parker Road and Mississippi) Thanks, John (6/23/2008)
Response: I'm still waiting for a confirmation on another haul to put me close enough to make yours work. Are you still interested? Thanks! (6/25/2008)
Response: Yes, it's a "go" if you can do it. (6/26/2008)
Response: I'm still waiting for an answer on a question for another vehicle in your area to justify hauling yours. (Don't know why some people list things and won't reply in a timely manner) If they agree, can pick yours up this weekend if that still works for you. Let me know? Thanks! (6/27/2008)
Response: No problem here, I'm ready to go. John (6/27/2008)
Response: Just got home from New Mexico, loading up to leave tonight for Iowa & South Dakota. Checked uship and the guy with the 51 truck near you won't respond to my question. It's not worth it for us to travel down to Kansas City for just your car. It would cost us more than that in fuel. Sorry, wish it would have worked out! Thanks! (6/27/2008)
Response: No Problem, thanks for the heads up. (6/28/2008)
Response: still can do your car this weekend for $400.00. let me know. thanks (6/28/2008)
Response: Can't swing it at $400.00, I'll just have the other guy do it around the 4th. (6/28/2008)
Response: Do you still need this done? (7/11/2008)
Response: Yes, she still has her thumb out. (7/11/2008)
Question: I can do it for $300 over the weekend of the 4th. I will need some help loading, and the tires need to be inflated. There could be some damage in transport process if they are not holding air. Let me know and we can talk more. (6/24/2008)
Response: It may get towed this weekend, if not, I will be in touch. Thanks, John (6/24/2008)
Question: Did you get your car hauled? If not I can do it over the 4th. Let me know (6/29/2008)
Response: No, they bumped the price up a bit and I couldn't swing it. (6/30/2008)
Response: Sorry I got a load out that weak end. Good luck with everything (7/3/2008)
