Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Good afternoon, is this helicopter on its own trailer? Thanks, Lance (10/19/2009)
Response: Lance, no. the picture is just a picture of a Hughes 500, very similar to the one that needs picked up. (10/19/2009)

Question: Hi,Can this be loaded on an 18' car hauler? I have a measurement of 84" between the fenders. Thanks, Glenn. (10/19/2009)
Response: an 18 foot car hauler wouldn't be my idea of an adequate sized trailer to haul the helicopter and a few boxes of stuff. Please let me know if you think you can make this work. (10/19/2009)
Response: Hi, As long as the landing skids will fit between my fenders, I do not see a problem with it. My trailer is good for 6K. What are the size and number of the misc boxes? Thanks Glenn (10/19/2009)
Response: I will have to measure the outsides of the skid gear to make sure it will fit between. I need to check. your gonna have some overhang, and do you have room to load some boxes, some spare tubes wrapped up, and some other small misc stuff? Wheres the bid at? (10/20/2009)
Response: Hi, I have a truck bed & a back seat of a quad cab for boxes. I have a winch & ramps for loading. Do you have some wheels for rolling the unit up the ramps? Just as long as it will fit in between my fenders it shouldn't be a problem. I will place my formal bid as soon as I know the exact measurement. Thanks, Glenn. (10/20/2009)
Response: Glenn, what type of insurance do you carry? (10/20/2009)
Response: I carry 50,000 cargo insurance but I have already booked other shipments that will not allow me to service yours for another 3 weeks. Thanks Glenn! (10/20/2009)
Response: 3 weeks is out of the question. Sorry. (10/20/2009)
Question: Hi, will the helicopter have rotor blades removed and everything ready for transport? How will it be loaded and unloaded? Thanks, Vern (FlyingseahorseTransport). (10/19/2009)
Response: there are no rotor blades with the ship. It will have to either be rolled or winched on. Ramps might be necsessary. There will be a hoist and or a fork lift to unload. (10/19/2009)
Response: I have ramps & winch to load on my flatbed and can do it any day this week. What are the business hours at each end? Thanks, Vern. (10/19/2009)
Response: Great, it has ground handeling wheels to assist loading it up on ramps. What is your flatbed's dimensions? Open 8-5 on both ends I believe. Thursday or friday might be a good date... but where are the bids from everyone? (10/20/2009)
Response: Hi, I have a 40 ft flatbed, long ramps and 12k winch. FYI, I have many hours in helos both military (Marine, Navy, Coast Guard) and civilian. I’ve been through the helo dunker at NAS Pensacola several times. I can do this Wed, Thur, Fri. for $300. I live about 25 miles from Long Beach in Picayune. Thanks, Vern. (10/20/2009)
Response: Looks great so far Vern. I need to make sure that there is insurance on this load. It is time out so its not valued over $111,000. Will this be an issue? (10/20/2009)
Response: Hi, I haven’t hauled in a few months while renovating some rental property I own. I’ve let my cargo insurance lapse. Let me see what I can do to reactivate it. Thanks, Vern. (10/20/2009)
Response: I need to know if you are able to get the cargo! I need to hire someone today wether on this site or with a few other contractors. Please get back to me ASAP (10/20/2009)
Response: Hi, sorry for the delay in answering, I just got in. I can't arrange the cargo insurance quickly enough. Thanks for the consideration and good luck, Vern. (10/20/2009)
