Question: I have another bid in goingn our way, if i get that bid i can cut a little not much. The length of tractor takes up quite a bit of room in my horse trailer and that will not allow me to carry much more freight. So i will have to see, burt i will no soon. Bigspot007 (12/25/2006)

Question: thanks for request, Glen....I'm in tx searching for west bound items now( without much luck )..I'll look for something that might get me back to FL...the tractor w / implements would fill my little 16' flat. could you go $1200 @ 2400 miles...perhaps 1/2 after loading?...just something to consider to get it on the move within a week. ..Lmaxwell (12/27/2006)

Question: thanks for asking i get $1.00 a mile (12/27/2006)

Question: Thank you for the request. I have another job along that route that I need to schedule, but it will probably be February. I will keep an eye on your shipment and bid once I get it scheduled if your shipment is still available. Thanks Colby. (12/27/2006)

Question: Shipper: Thank you for your bid request, it is appreciated. I can pick up during the first week of January and deliver within 5 to 8 days. I'm a legally licensed, fully insured, US DOT compliant motor carrier so commercial cargo insurance is included in my bid price. My all inclusive price would be $1,620. I will refine the exact pick up and delivery dates when I make a formal bid. My payment terms are cash or certified funds payable to SEMO Motor Transport Service at delivery. My offer assumes the tractor will start and load under its own power and there are no other attachments other than the brush hog and front end loader and they are installed. It would be securely transported on an open flatbed goose neck trailer. I would need to know your decision by Friday (12/29/06) for scheduling purposes. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you and I hope you'll consider all aspects of my offer before making your decision. Don @ SEMO Motor Transport Service (12/27/2006)

Question: Thank you for your prompt response. I do appreciate it. I'm sorry, I just can't get down to the $1200-$1300 price range. I surely wish I could, but I really sharpened my pencil to give you the best offer I could so we could get this locked up and under contract. The only reason I was able to offer you the price I did was because I have a couple of small items in the same area that can go with it and complement your load. I also have have another small tractor that pays the same as I offered you, only it is about 50 miles farther down in Florida. I thought I would give you first opportunity and save myself the additional miles. I guess I'll just have to run the extra 50 miles and do the other tractor. I do appreciate your consideration very much and I sincerely wish you the best with your shipment. Again, I'm sorry we can't do business this time but please keep me in mind if you need transport service in the future. Thank you again...Don @ SEMO Motor Transport Service (12/28/2006)

Question: Thank you for the bid request but I am not in your area right now. wmirvin (12/28/2006)

Question: Sorry, again. you misunderstood what I was saying. You're requesting a shipment for less than 50 cents per mile, not counting deadhead (empty) miles. NO CAN DO. My bid would be for $1.10 per hub mile, and you've already declined bids for less than that. (12/28/2006)

Question: thanks for response, Glen. I'm trying my best to get any little thing to pay may way back to Fl....or something tiny to go with your tractor from that area. will let you know yeah or neh by tomorrow! either way the 1/2 1/2 payment would still be neccesary @1200 total...but you could trust me !

Question: hey glen......I may have just scored some motorcycles from tx to Ga. waiting for response from shipper now. will know soon today. if it's a go. it would put me in Fl in about 7-8 days . then would be glad to grab the tractor. I'll update you today...Lmaxwell (12/29/2006)

Question: shuck!...a bit cheaper than I thought..I can re-bid @1100 to compensate for that and your willingness to work with me....if after I load it I might be can use maybe just $300 wired to me ( 800 cash or check on delivery)..I could survive without the $300 if need be. not a major deal...let me know.
