Additional Information: I need a driver to pull my RV from Corpus Christi to Spring TX. If you don't have a truck, I can come back from Spring and ride up with the driver using my F350 in Pic. Experienced RV Drivers only please!! You will need to know how to hitch this rig up!! If you need to get back to Corpus, I can probably fly you back, unless you bring a friend with you in another vehicle. It takes me less than 4.5 hours to make this trip in the truck. **Sorry everyone, have been in Spring unloading the uhaul and got back at 2am this morning and didn't have internet access. Only have enough time to shower and go to Brownsville for Thanksgiving and will be back hopefully Friday around noon to make the trip back up to Spring as I have to be there on Sat morning for cable hookups. Please revise your bids as this may affect some of you. I will check email at the Brownsville end and hopefully we can get this listing closed and this camper moved! LOL. If you are still available, I need to know. The camper is registered until end of Dec, but believe it or not, the sticker is in Spring. Thank you all for being so patient..I'm having a hell of a time and I had a tire blowup on the way up in the uhaul!!!***

Question:

11/21/2009

Hi, I live west of Tomball, and would be glad to help you with this move. I'm available do do it tomorrow. My truck is set up for a gooseneck trailer, and I haven't gotten around to buying a fifth-wheel adapter for it. If you would be interested in letting me drive your truck down there and back, I am fully insured, including cargo coverage, as I am a USDOT certified Motor Carrier. Let me know if I can be of assistance to you. Thanks,,, Allan Landry / RapidFire Texas of Magnolia Tx

Response: Are you available any other time besides tomorrow? I don't have keys to the house yet, probably not until Tues. I plan on driving a uhaul up tomorrow from Brownsville with some storage contents. We are 99.9% sure we will close on the house on either Mon afternoon or Tues, so I probably can't bring the camper up until the house is legally mine! The only thing that will be left behind in Corpus is the camper. I don't mind you using my truck. The truck has 2 fuel tanks and I would make sure it's full so you won't have to fuel up. Do you have a fee in mind?11/21/2009

Question:

11/21/2009

I am in corpus but i have my girlfriend with me in my half ton,it wont pull it but i can drive your vechile and she can follow us. Let me know if i can help.

Response: How long do you plan on being down here? Please see my response to the other person about when this move can take place. It can't be until I get the key to my new house and I legally own the driveway which should be Tuesday. Once I get to Spring in this uhaul that I will be taking up on Monday from Brownsville, I have to unload it and drive back here to Corpus to get my truck, which will probably be either Wed or Thur. No Thanksgiving for me this year :(11/21/2009

Response: : You will be coming through corpus anyways, is it a driving or towing UHaul? If it's a towing we can hook it to my truck?11/21/2009

Response: It's a scary 17' truck that I've never driven before. There is too much stuff for a trailer. Not looking forward to it!11/21/2009

Response: : Is their 2 of u? She can drive uhaul, and i can drive truck with trailer and 1 of u can drive my truck!Thanks Ryan11/21/2009

Response: No, just 1 of me, hubby is unavailable right now, but I need to drive it because I am not going directly to the unloading location. I have to drive it around for some errands in Sugarland and Katy before I take it to the house the next day. Will just have to toughen up! I drove a 10' up to Houston and back the other day with another load and did great, this one is just lots longer! The only time I really get nervous is when I hit Houston traffic..what a nightmare that can be! I sure am getting sick of these back and forth trips though.11/21/2009

Question:

11/21/2009

i live outside of beaumont,tx & when your ready to ship, i can drive over to your home. leave my car there and we can take your truck go get the rv. i deliv rv all the over the US, let me know what you think & i'll bid.....

Response: Sounds good! Go ahead and bid :)11/21/2009

Question:

11/22/2009

Is your RV ready to move, slides in & fully disconnected? We are based in Tomball. Due to this being a holiday week, we are available to move your trailer with relatively short notice. Please note that our bid is all inclusive, our truck & our fuel. Regardless of whom you choose to use, always check service provider’s profile & feedback as this is the only means you have to check references. We own a 35’ 5th wheel and travel extensively with it. In addition, we have moved many 5th wheels and bumper pull trailers. If you are uncomfortable driving the Uhaul truck to Houston, we can arrange for a second driver to handle that for you at a minimal charge. Please see our bid below. We look forward to being of assistance to you with this move. (Alegnani @ TRTrucking)

Response: Trailer will be travel ready on Thur morning. I am already in Houston with the uhaul and plan to be back on Wed night. Had a tire blowout with 5 miles to go to the end of my trip..Was NOT happy and it scared the #($##) out of me!11/24/2009

Response: : It looks as if your timeframe is for a Friday move. If this hasn’t been moved in a couple of years the tags probably aren’t current, we can furnish a transport tag. As for the tires & bearings we can inspect them for you, if any repairs are needed Thursday you wouldn't be able to get parts. We’ll be happy to try to make this easy for you. (Alegnani @ TR Trucking)11/24/2009

Response: I've always kept the tags up to date.11/24/2009

Response: : Whether you choose us for your move or another service provider, please be sure to view the feedback on ALL providers as this is the only means you have to check references. It seems as though you have had some problems with this move. Hopefully the remainder of the move will be smoother. We would like to help you do that. Thank you, Alegnani@TR Trucking11/24/2009

Question:

11/23/2009

Is trailer road ready, good tires & spare, wheel bearings packed, lights work, up to date tages, good brakes?

Response: From what I can see it's fine. It hasn't been moved in a couple of years though.11/24/2009

Question:

11/23/2009

Is your husband in the military?If so I will be comeing through there this weekend or first of next week on my way to cali.I could do for you then with your truck for 100.Thanks Richard

Response: Hubby is retired USAF. I am in Houston at the moment. I just arrived today with a 17' uhaul. I will be back in Corpus late Wed to return the uhaul and need to be back in Houston by Sat noon for cable and tv installation, so will have to leave early Sat morning or Friday. Is someone going to follow in your vehicle?11/24/2009

Response: : I will let you know after thur.Thanks Richard11/24/2009

Question:

11/24/2009

Question:

11/24/2009

Can you give us the actual time frame you want to move this. We are available on Friday or Saturday anytime. However, if you would like us to move this we need some advance notice. From your pictures it appears that the RV is in good condition and has taken good care of. I do not foresee any issues. Do you have a spare if needed? Please review our bid and 100% positive feedback. Alegnani@TR Trucking.

Response: : To save you a trip back to Spring, we can provide a transport tag. We will re-bid now and can make the move anytime this weekend as we are free. Please be sure to check feedback as this is the only means you have to check references. Thank you Alegnani @ TR Trucking.11/26/2009

Response: The camper has had a couple of flats over the years, but I did get them fixed each time, so hopefully the spare is ok. The camper has not been in storage, we have been living in it and parked in this one location for the last couple of years and tires are not flat. I plan on making the trailer travel ready on Friday when I get back from Brownsville and I will head back to Spring in my truck. Hope I remember how to do it!11/26/2009

Response: : Your timeframes are acceptable to us, after accepting the bid we can talk on the phone. We are able to be in Corpus between 10:00 am & noon Friday (27th). Look forward to doing business with you. (Alegnani @ TR Trucking)11/26/2009

hello when you want this done?

Question:

11/27/2009

We realize you need to be back in Houston on Saturday morning. As long as you notify the park the RV is in that we will pick up, we can pick up after you have left to come back. Alegnani@TR Trucking.

Response: hi..I am still in Brownsville but will be leaving shortly. I need 3 hours to get back to Corpus so noon is too soon for pick up. Sat is fine if it works better for you. Gives me time to get home and make the camper travel ready. I will leave the power cord attached in case you have to adjust the levels (in a small panel on the left hand side). Please put the power cord in the big storage unit which will be unlocked. If you find anything else that I missed, please also put into the storage unit. There is a satellite dish on the roof that I need to get down. Hopefully I will find someone to do it before you come. Is Sat better for you or later today (Fri).11/27/2009

Hey Alan, when I drive on Sam Houston tollway with a 17' truck, can I go into the blue lane to pay my toll? Is a truck that size ok for that lane? 28/21/09 7:28 PM rapidfiretx (96 ) If you dont have EZ Tag, any of the right lanes that have the little booth are designed with wide lanes to accommodate large trucks. I have EZ Tag, so I FLY thru the left purple lanes with any size vehicle and trailer! I'm not familiar with a "blue" lane, if it is one that says exact change only, it is probably a narrow lane for cars & pickups, which you definitely want to avoid, even in a dually with towing mirrors!!! Good Luck!!! google me,,, Allan 38/21/09 8:38 PM Marcus H. Requires a bid of $232? 50/21/09 8:50 PM rapidfiretx (96 ) There are certain unmentionable fees involve when going thru this site. 8/24/09 9:08 AM Marcus H. I won't have internet again until late Wed as I'm on the road right now. Please refresh my memory..what is your plan again for this bid? 35/24/09 6:35 PM rapidfiretx (96 ) I had proposed to drive your truck, with your fuel, from your new home in Spring, down to Corpus to bring back your travel trailer. Since it was to be an all day affair, I thought that I should make $200 out of the deal, but in order to cover a certain +++++.com's unmentionable fees, that they refer to as a deposit, but which the service provider(me) never gets, I had to submit a bid of $232!!! I now propose to do all that on Sunday,,, but why should you let me, when you have a lower bid & that guy didnt say a thing about using YOUR truck or fuel?!?!? If you want to make a new local friend in the transport business, just google me or accept my bid, and I'll see ya Sunday!!! Thanks,,, Allan / "RapidFire Texas", Magnolia Tx
