Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hi, is the Dodge pick up the one that broke down? you were just hauling the boat with that trailer. Let me know the situation, I may be able to help you out. (7/15/2008)
Response: yes i was delevering the boat when my pickup broke down (7/15/2008)
Response: I dont have a problem helping out as long as you pay for all of my fuel. I am in Pueblo, Co and would need to be paid for all fuel expences to and back home. I am not asking for any profit,just cover my expences. I dont have any loads going as I just returned from Va. and I am on my home time. If you cant get it done from someone going through then let me know and I will see about heading out. (7/15/2008)
Response: what is your estmate on fuel? (7/15/2008)
Response: Shoot- you got me on that. Let me do some figuring and I will get back with you! (7/15/2008)
Response: I will be waiting here all alone (7/15/2008)
Response: Sorry, my round trip would be 2560 miles and fuel would cost around $1,000 you would be better off getting it fixed. I would deffinetly help you but the price I would have to charge would not help you! (7/15/2008)
Response: thanks anyway (7/15/2008)
Question: Damn bud, wish I could help out, but I'm laying in bed waiting for doc to release me back to drive. Double broken rt leg, broken hip and broken shoulder from a cycle wreck. Good luck. --Shane WHY We Haul Your ? (7/15/2008)

Response: What happend, is it a major fix? (7/15/2008)
Response: yes i think an injector stuck open (7/15/2008)
Response: Do you have to tow it home? Can't fix in Green River? I have a friend who has a Dodge dually he has been wanting to start hot shoting, I can ask him if he would be interested in the recovery, of course it would have to be worth his time. Don't you think it would be less expenive to get it fixed there, than to have someone come get you? JB (7/15/2008)
