Question:

10/28/2009

What is your target price?

Response: Let's let the uShip system "work" for a while, but you are "way high" on your price. These are empty steel racks, almost impossible to damage. Think of it as a return of dunnage, not as valuable freight heading to a customer. We are new to uShip, but we ship hundreds of truckloads and LTL shipments all over the country every year, so I have a pretty good idea what trucking rates should look like. This is a low-value shipment. Think "scrap steel", not "finished goods." Regards, Rick, CEO, Mfg Co. in NJ 10/28/2009

Question:

10/28/2009

Hello, I may have done this wrong. But, we can put 2 side by side and stack 1 on top of the other. So, there will be 4 racks in a row. If you have 65 of these to move your looking at 64' of space needed to haul all 65. Let me know. Thanks.

Response: You should be able to put 66 racks on a 53' trailer -- 11 stacks of 6 racks will fit in a 53' trailer. Don't get too hung up on my sizing. I know they are 80" wide, 50" deep, and 50" tall, but they nest, so a stack of 6 racks will easily fit in a standard height trailer. One pile of racks will have H-frame gates for the racks stacked on top, as each rack ships to our customer with a gate, so customer can actually stack the racks with product on them inside their plant. This is an easy shipment. Racks are like "scrap" in terms of the "class", although we would have to replace them for $450 each if you drove off a cliff.10/28/2009

Response: : Hahaha...nice. Okay, so your looking to ship these in a 53' enclosed trailer?10/28/2009

Response: Don't care. These painted steel float glass racks are IMPERVIOUS to weather. They do NOT need ANY kind of special attention. Recommend you strap them down, that's it. In a van, no strapping required.10/28/2009

Response: : Okay, Just wondering. You mentioned they'll fit in 53' and it will be much easier to find a 53' van than a 53' flat or step deck. Thanks.10/28/2009

Response: Van, flat bed, whatever. These are structural, nestable, stackable, bandable EMPTY float glass racks. Could not be a much simpler load to handle or move. You pretty much CANNOT damage them.10/28/2009

Response: : Okay.10/28/2009

Question:

10/28/2009

What is your target?

Response: Let's let the uShip system "work" for a while, but you are "way high" on your initial quote, as you can see from the other bid responses. Rick, CEO, Mfg Co., NJ10/28/2009

Response: : I understand, Look at my feedback ratings vs the other guys. Thats the difference in rates. You get what you pay for. Thank you for considering our bid, feel free to look us up is something happends. Thank you.10/28/2009
