Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Shipper, do you have any thoughts about how to load and unload. I use a lift gated truck and pull an open trailer but not sure I could do anything with 800 lbs. Would like to help. Thanks (8/6/2008)
Response: I think the ball harvester would basically roll onto a trailer. As far as the ball machine, I'll check the weight, but I doubt it's more than 300 itself, which would be simple with a liftgate. (8/6/2008)
Response: Thanks for your response, I am currently heading out from Houston to Florida (my normal run) however I am not pulling my trailer this trip. I make this trip every other week or so. I am going to keep an eye on your shipment and stay in touch with you and if you still need it shipped on my next trip, I would be more than glad to bring it out. "Normally" Im gonna run about .55 a mile. Thanks (8/7/2008)
Response: Okay, that sounds fair enough. I'm hoping to get some other bids, but I'm not in a huge rush, so stay in touch. Thanks (8/7/2008)
Response: Your ad is due to expire in a few days and I am going to be out of pocket over the weekend (funeral) so I am going to place my bid. It would be about 11/2 to 2 weeks before pick up and a same or next day delivery. Thank you (8/8/2008)
Question: Can you do some more specific describing of your shipment? As I see it there are two pieces, a ball dispenser and a harvester? As for the harvester you say it is 8' on either side. What does this mean? That it is 16' wide? If this is true, it will need to be disassembles or lifted onto a trailer, assuming that it rolls forward with the center being in the middle of the 16 ft width. Can you please give us a better picyture of what the shipment is like? (8/6/2008)
Response: Sorry - confusing on my part. Each side is actually only about 42" WIDE (Each of the 3 pieces) I was saying it measures about 8' wide total. Sorry. I believe the pieces with the round collectors can come off and be stacked with something else as well (8/6/2008)
Question: Hello Shipper, I'm working on a trip to come that way around the first week of September. My question is: Can this unit be disassembled and stacked up on 1 or 2 heavy duty pallets(3.5' X 4')? I carry a line of hand and power tools with me so if this is possible I can make this shipment for you providing my other trip heading to TX also works out. once i hear back about the pallet question I will place my formal (and very reasonable) bid after 8/20/08 if I get the other job. (8/7/2008)
Response: Thank you , but I will have it taken care of before then. (8/7/2008)
Response: Thank you for taking the time to reply, if for any reason you still havent shipped it by then shoot me a bid request :0). Blacksheeptrucking (8/7/2008)
