Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I would be interested in hauling hay for you I have a 24 foot enclosed stock trailer not ideal for hay but your load would be out of weather, price depends on if I can find a load home. (6/1/2008)
Response: Gavin: What part of Colorado do you live? How many bales of 2-string can you haul in your stock trailer? How long would it take for you to find something that you can haul back from Las Vegas? I am looking for the hay to be ready in a few weeks. If I had a mare that needed to be transported to Clifton on your return, what would your price be? And, since it is a stock trailer would you do the loading of teh hay into it? Not sure if the mare will be traveling to Clifton, but if she is still checked in pregnant that is a possibility. I do have another hauler that I am in contact with but just for the hay hauling. I might be able to kill two birds with one stone, maybe. Thanks, Fran (6/1/2008)

Response: Dear caseforyou: Don't know the mileage so you need to tell me what you think is a fair market price. Is your hay a 50/50 mix? Here in Las Vegas, due to the hot I am looking also for an orchard, blue grass or timothy grass mix (no alfalfa). Do you harvest any grass, too? If so, what kind? How much do you get for your hay per bale? 2 or 3 string bales? How many bales per ton? How many ton can you haul at one time? Is your hay 1st cut? Thanks, Fran (6/3/2008)

Response: Casey: Tell me what have you decided regarding the cost to haul the 20 bales to Las Vegas and when are you planning on coming to Vegas? I am definitely interested in seeing and trying out your hay. In order to do so you have to alter your UShip to include what you will ship and how much and terms then we can exchange phone numbers. Would hate to miss a chance to see what you have and 20 bales would be great to give it a try. Can't get in contact with you unless you provide a shipment off UShip so we can secure a transaction. Thanks, Fran (6/8/2008)

Response: Hello! Are you still planning on coming to Las Vegas to pick up your trailer. If so I am interested in getting some of your rochard grass with 5% alfalfa and giving it a try. What needs to happen is that you place a bid so I can accept it or we will not be able to get in touch when you arrive. We cannot exchange number unless a bid is accepted. I am working out a deal with someone that will haul from Clifton but am definitely intereseted in more than one contact. Please include a price for the bales you want to sell and bring to me and I will make sure you are paid. I am going out of town this weekend but I have a person staying at my place while I am gone. Let me know. Thanks, Fran (6/12/2008)
Question: Fran , I have a 40' GN that I can haul approximately 200 2 stringers on LEGALLY! Also, have a buddy in Olathe that is getting ready for his first cut of the season. I haul, will need someone to load/ unload, can run the GJ- Vegas for $1300 give me a shout! thanks Double M Transport USDOT 1291900 (6/7/2008)
Response: Thank you for your bid. At this time with only 200 bales being able to be hauled the cost between the hay and service is too much for me. In order to afford the haul I need at least 350 bales hauled for around $1000. Thank you anyway, Fran (6/12/2008)
Question: Sorry about the delay Fran might have found a bike to haul back to Colo Springs where I live, not sure how much hay I can fit in the trailer yet but I do have a gooseneck, the only problem is weather and your mare back would work out good for both of us maybe. I can only bid it for what it will cost me to make the trip if I find something to haul back I will lower your price. (6/8/2008)
Response: Gavin: Found out I can not ship my mare until after July 4 that is when she is due to get preg check again. She will only ship if she is checked in for sure. I was trying to work it out. Still interested in grass hay. Tell me what the cost to ship. Let me know about when did you think you were heading this way? Thanks, Fran (6/8/2008)
Question: Fran are you still interested in hauling this hay? Thanks adam (6/10/2008)
Response: Adam: Are you still interested in hauling 350 bales of 2 string grass for me from Clifton, Co to Las Vegas, NV? If so, let me know and place a bid on the uship so we can exchange numbers. Thank you, Fran (6/17/2008)
Response: Hi Fran sorry i have been a way for a while i am still interested if you are and will be able to do very soon. (6/17/2008)
Response: Adam: Can you haul for $1000.00? Let me know. If so, I will request a bid from you then I can accept your bid and we can exchange numbers. When can you pick up and deliver. I was in the Clifton area this past weekend and spoke to the hay grower directly and they can accomodate 350 bales of grass hay, right now. Thye wanted to know if you were hauling with a gooseneck so they can place 18 bales at a time on the gooseneck. You would have to arrange it once it is placed on your trailer if need be. Thye are continually bringing in hay from their fields and the lot I looked at will be covered if I do not get it picked up. Let's make a deal so I can contact them that you would be coming. Also, she suggested that you come in the night before and stay overnight and load early in the morning so her husband can load the hay for you. So, I guess I need an approximate time of pick up so I can warn the hay grower and make arrangements for you to pick up. Fran (6/17/2008)
Response: I cannot do it for less than my 1107 quote as i will only recieve 1000. of that so in essence i will be doing it for 1000. I can probably do this trip on sunday if that is ok I can be in clifton anytime but i dont want to stay the night as that is extra cash out of my pocket so once we are in contact i can arrange a time to be in clifton. thanks adam (6/18/2008)
Response: Adam: I changed my ad to read $1107.00 as a target bid. Because I had changed it I could not accept the bid you gave me because it was outdated and it said status expired. Go back on and send it to me so I can accept your bid and we can go from their. I am counting that you can haul 350 bales of 2 string on this load. Thanks, Fran (6/18/2008)
