Question: Gee I would like to bid on your boat haul but under your terms I don't think you can aford me, Thanks GeorgeB (12/3/2007)
Response: What I can afford (two F's) is a personal and private matter. Please do not make that your concern. If you are interested, please bid. I am requiring insurance and verification of the same as per instructions from U-ship. I believe this is prudent. I have several bidders who appear to have adequate insurance coverage and verfiable references. Please bid if you have insurance and adequate references. If your bidding is competitive there is no issue of affordability. (12/4/2007)
Question: Hello Shipper, Not bidding (to busy)...However, DOT/MC rules require minimum of $750,000 of liability insurance. You need that just to obtain a DOT number. So, if your bidders are DOT legal then the liability insurance is a given. Cargo insurance is not a requirement to obtain a DOT# but a good idea, I carry $50,000 with Lloyds of London and some of your bidders are carring over that...rvhauler123 (12/3/2007)
