Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Who is going to load and unload? Is a lift gate required for loading and unloading. How soon are you looking to get this load out? (2/28/2007)
Response: You will have to load them by hand and will be able to get your trailer within 15 feet of them. They are in my fathers tractor shed. I unloaded them with a dolly in less then an hour. I will unload them, but if you can help it would speed it up. I would like them as soon a possible but am very flexible, I'm waiting for someone headed this way light. (2/28/2007)
Question: could pick you items up, the whole load, on monday and deliver on tuesday. have enclosed goosneck. have ramp door and dollies needed. let me know. the bid will be for the whole load. thanks roofman34. (2/28/2007)
Response: The whole load shouldn't take up more then 1/4 of your trailer. I am looking for someone who is headed this way anyway and will do it for around $250.00 (2/28/2007)
Question: How many boxes? (2/28/2007)
Response: I don't have a count on the total amount of boxes, the stack is approx. 12 ft wide, five feet high and 6 ft deep. I estimated 2 1/2 pick up loads more for the weight then the volume. What kind of outfit do you have? (2/28/2007)
Question: Would you say that most of the boxes are 12x12x12? (2/28/2007)
Response: I would say the average box is 24x12x12. Some are smaller, some bigger. No one box is too big or heavy for one person to lift, but they are books and are heavy. Someone with back problems or very out of shape should not take this job. An average man can load the whole works in less then a hour with a dolly. (2/28/2007)
Question: Are the boxes on pallets? (2/28/2007)
Response: No, they are stacked on a concrete floor. (2/28/2007)
Question: Sorry, traffic manager says nope. To long of a load time and to many loose boxes. (2/28/2007)

(3/2/2007)
Response: I would say 100 boxes max. I loaded the whole works on the front half a a regular car trailer. I can also arrange a inspection appointment if you want to look at them before you make a bid. Best pick-up would be 5:00AM through 9:00PM Thanks -B (3/2/2007)
