Response: Go ahead & bid I will accept, thanks! Take good care of my press, se ya in sunny florida (4/22/2008)
Response: hello-I will need to pick up this week by fri pm and will be heading south early monday am for tues/ weds am delivery in fl- (4/23/2008)
Response: Hi, that works fine for pick up this week, however you bid my bid my target price of 475.00, I thought that was our agreed on price, please advise (4/23/2008)
Response: hi there- i am actually just a bit higher than your target as fuel has gone up almost .30 a gallon since we first began speaking on 4/10-thanks,Brian (4/23/2008)
Response: I understand & want to be fair, can we meet half way on the price? (4/23/2008)
Response: speaking honestly,80. of my price goes to uship for their fees-they call it a "deposit"-sorry i can t go less- (4/23/2008)
Question: Good Morning. I may be interested moving your equipment, but I think your budget is unrealistic, and that is why no one is touching the shipment for haul. Are you willing to spend any more than your targeted price? (4/26/2008)
Response: Thanks for your reply, I had a trucking company bid & then back out for reasons of timing, I would be willing to go $625.00 but that would be my max,are you owner operator or broker? This freight needs to be strapped down securely,please advise (4/26/2008)
Response: See My profile here on USHIP. The guy in the first Picture, is me. I own the "whole enchilada" of what you see in my profile. My business is actually a Federal Government Contractor. USHIP is just a side venture that I recently learned about, and in light of the economy -I got involved with to keep my investments paying off. Look closely at my feedback, and see what I just hauled for the guy in CT. That load, is similar to your own - Those welders weighed 1300 a piece - see his comments ! (4/26/2008)
Response: Great fleet & feedback, I might also have a 5000lb press off of interstate 95 in south jersey for you to pick up also on your wat to florida, maybe this can help offset fuel costs, please advise if your interested & what is your total fee, thanks! (4/26/2008)
Response: What destination is the 2nd Press going to? (4/26/2008)
Response: Same as the first 34275 (4/26/2008)
Question: You referenced "Open Carrier" preferred. Is this equipment weather proof, from rain etc... ? Or otherwise, please explain what has to be done once it's loaded ? Is tarping it sufficient ? (4/28/2008)
Response: Yes, strapped & well tarped is sufficient or closed carrier & tied down (4/28/2008)
Response: Thanks for the replies. Please review our profile and note the picture of our OPEN TRAILER. We are still considering your listing. This trailer is rated at 3500 lbs, single axle, and the deck measures 10 Feet by 76 inches in width clear. Will this work, please confirm your press at 2,700lbs ? We can handle securely strapping it down, and tarping it. You'll need a forklift at both ends to load and unload as the weight of the press is too great to utilize the ramp on the trailer itself. (4/28/2008)
Response: Can you get the 5000lb press also, there are forklifts at all locations, if your using the small single axle trailer for this distance & this weight I think that might be chancing it! (4/28/2008)
Response: Appreciate your opinion, I too felt it's marginal in relation to an adquate transport solution. I've already taken in several shipments going to Florida on this run and am tight for space to fit the press. One of which is an outboard motor going to LARGO, not far from you. So I'll have to wait till I'm back to NY on the 10th of May - and then see if your two presses still are waiting for a ride to Sunny Florida. Then I can quote the two presses - fresh and consolidated in one truckload. Again, thanks for the communications ! (4/28/2008)
Question: I HAVE A FLAT CAR TRAILER AND TARPS AND TIE DOWNS. I GREW UP IN GREENWICH AND I WENT TO VALLEY FALLS A LOT . I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A TRIP UP THAT WAY AGAIN. I WILL DO IT FOR YOU FOR YOUR TARGET. LET ME KNOW. (4/28/2008)
Response: When could you pick up the press, there is a forklift there & at drop off, please be sure to strap down securely & tarp, please advise, thanks (4/29/2008)
Response: I COULD PICKUP 4/3 AND DELIVER 4/6 DO YOU HAVE OTHER SHIPMENTS. I HAVE A 20 FT FLAT CARRIER 10000 LB CAP. LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BID. (4/30/2008)
Question: Is there one press @ 2700#'s or two press fro same location.. (4/30/2008)
Response: I just sold a press to a shop up in New Jersey, it weights 5700lbs, if your trailer can handle that kind of weight I've got this press to go back with you, what would be your fee? please advise, thanks! (4/30/2008)
Response: could pick up the end of this week..I see you turn two good bid away..What is your max that you are willing to spend for over 1300 miles...with the fuel prices as high as they are???????? (4/30/2008)
Response: end of this week is good (4/30/2008)
Response: I have to step out for few and will check back, Thanks (4/30/2008)
