Question: Also is that the correct weight? If so I'll haul it for 950.00 (4/8/2009)
Response: Yes, it's pretty close to 1000 lbs (4/8/2009)
Response: Ok. Is 950 within your budget for this shipment? (4/8/2009)
Response: No, but $600 is? I can go get it myself for under $250 but lazy. It looks like I may have to but give me your bottom dollar bid. Thanks. (4/8/2009)
Response: 600 would be it. I would need a week or two to find something on the return route. Lol to the lazy comment. I feel the same way after a weeks worth of driving. Lol (4/8/2009)
Response: Hey Chad,
Sounds good. I'll just get a U-haul for the meantime for my event scheduled next Saturday. That should give us both more time to arrange a pick-up. (4/9/2009)
Response: Sounds good. I do have a confirmed delivery to memphis on May 1st. Csn I work around that time frame? (4/9/2009)
Response: That's cool. Friday May 1st is the kick-off for "Memphis in May." If you've never been it rocks! Better than any springbreak you've been to. Too bad you won't be there the 3rd weekend in May because that's the big BBQ competition. No doubt the best weekend in "Memphis in May." Are you coming up here from Memphis? If so, how will you be able to pull what your delivering to Memphis and my trailer at the same time?

Response: we wlii have a trailer coming back that way later the following week, but would have to be hauled and could not do it anywhere near what we could do it with an empty hitch... thanks .. Rick (4/10/2009)

Response: I will order the trailer on Monday and will be avail for pickup on Apr. 20th. I'm very flexible on when you want to deliver. Before May 8th would be nice? (4/10/2009)
Response: business is slow low on gas but shouldn't be a problem do you pay at pick up ? lets go ahead and book it so i can put it on my calander i will deliver or leave with it as soon as you get it way before may 8th . (4/10/2009)
Response: Ok. I prefer to pay on delivery but will be paying cash as long as can get a receipt. Just to verify it's $425 right. How do I book. Never used U-ship (4/10/2009)
Response: once you click on accept biid there are a few more steps you have and then you will see the total of the bid minus your depposit it varies depending on the amount of the bid and the total due to me at time of pick up .but so far it did not go through make sure you have a credit card on file with U-Ship So they can charge your deposit otherwise they wont let it go through to do that at the bottom left side of screen you will see a your account tab click there to edit billing .I cant give you a number to call me on here because it's a violation of policy and they will suspend my account same as you if you were to put any contact details here the only way is to accept the bid then you will get all my phone numbers e-mail, etc.hopefully you can get it this morning Am i correct to say that you live in Omaha and Im going pick this up in Douglasville ,GA and bring it to you ?

Question: Oh yeah I will be heading home later this morning about ten So once youve figured this out and you have my contact info I'll be on the road so call me I can pull over and get some details ..thx.....BILL (4/11/2009)
Response: Hey Bill,
Got your e-mails from this morning. I hit "accept bid" this morning and it's finally asking for a credit card. Just need to decide which one to use. I was hoping to pay entire amount in cash but no big deal since only $59 deposit. That trailer won't fit in mine because they are the same width but otherwise would have let you. I have a couple of banks to see which one has the best interest just in case I have to pay the entire amount with a credit card. I was hoping to pay cash. Should have deposit around noon. Are you out of Tulsa?

Question: Hello I am a trailer dealer out of Memphis ,I can deliver on a tilting hydralic equipment trailer for $699 ,that is about half the rate of normal price per mile . Edwin honestshipper (4/16/2009)
Response: Not quite half the price. Manufacturer will ship it to me for $1100. I'd go get it myself for $300 in gas but lazy. I will do it if I have to though since no job. Last week I accepted a bid of $425 and $475 but service providers not equipped with 7 way wiring harness and electric brakes. I don't need a fancy set-up shipping my trailer. I just need my trailer here as cheap as possible. I'm starting a new business and very low on cash. (4/17/2009)
Response: I do this for a living ,30 years exp. It drives me crazy ,low ball bids from people that don't know what they are doing ,and second is reference to gas cost as to "I can do it for" Sorry but in my world I pay for Fuel ,Truck ,Insurance ,Tags ,permits ,fees , oil changes , tires, labor , taxes ,front end elingenments , and about 1000 other Cost. My cost to move 1 mile .66 cents... now if I want to eat every few days ,or have a truck stop shower wow cost go up.
The net I get is half the factory price. And you can't do it RIGHT for less. Edwin (4/17/2009)
Response: Hey Edwin,
I know where you are coming from as I am homeless and live in a converted 94 Dodge Van. I've taken those truck shop showers that go for about $7 a shot. Not doing to well for a single, 41 year old man with a college degree you would think. Sounds like a Merl Haggard song I know but I'm happy. Money is only ONE measuring stick of success in life. I've cashed what little money I had left in my 401k and put everything on the line for this mobile food business. See, I've had two near death experiences in life so I laugh at people that say when I retire I'm going to Florida. But what if you don't make it to retirement? I go to Florida now during the winter and this winter will be my 3rd. I've got a bird in the hand while you others are praying for two in the bush. I just can't afford to finance your remodeled bathroom when I'm taking sponge baths in public restrooms. Adjust your lifestyle like everyone else? (4/18/2009)
Response: I hope you have a nice trip to GA,Sorry that you can't understand that pulling a trailer 1200 miles ,plus driving to GA to pick up,and return to my home another 1200 miles, for less than $600 .Is a NO profit ,no fun ,job. What was I thinking. (4/19/2009)
