Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hi, Just for your info the width of this trailer is 8'6" and the weight is a lot more than 4000 lbs. Is the trailer loaded. It looks like a Cardinal. If it is I just hauled one to NC and delivered it on Tuesday. I would love to be able to haul this for you but with the price of fuel being as volatile as it is right now I really do not want to lock in to a price right now. We are paying around 2.50/ gal right now and 6 months ago we were paying over 4.00. That makes a huge difference in the cost to haul. If you have not picked someone when you are closer to making your move I would love to bid on it. If I was to take it at todays prices I would bid around $2000 but not knowing the prices in 3 months I would have to bid higher. I am a legal transporter providing insurance and transport plates for your trailer during transport. any bid would include all tolls and permits for NM and AZ as they are required in those states. Please keep me in mind when you make your decision. (12/27/2008)
Response: Hi and thanks for your response. Yes, the vehicle is a Cardinal and it is loaded but not with a lot of stuff. I realize now that the weight is significantly more, I had ABSOLUTELY no idea what to put! I understand about the gas price fluctuation problem. Your bid of $2000 is a great bid! I have a bid of $2800 that I could lock into that price today but have not done so. I will definitely keep you in mind. Is there a way we can contact each other apart from this site? (12/27/2008)
Response: Sorry. The only way we can contact each other is after a bid is accepted. It is against uShip rules to give contact info. (12/27/2008)
Question: LOL Sorry!! You will not need permits in AZ and NM as this is in Northern CA. Didn't look at where you were going just know CA. (12/27/2008)
Response: Hi again! I just read all of your feedback and you definitely seem like someone who I would like to work with. Let's please keep in touch as the time gets nearer, ok? (12/27/2008)
Response: HI, I have been thinking. I am going to place a bid now. There is enough time if we do it like this that I might be able to find something coming back which will offset if fuel goes up again. It is going to be slightly higher than what I said because of fuel costs. (12/27/2008)
Question: I can move your camper for $2200. .If your interested please reply ASAP we need to get these setup in advance to secure the route .. full legal transporter $75,000. cargo Ins. / DOT #'s / Transporter plates for your load ect. .I have all 100% 65+ feedbacks A+ service . Drivers do thorough pre-trip and in-route inspections.If your interested reply & I will place a formal bid … thanks for the reply. rippin1 (12/27/2008)
Question: can you get a shot of the front of the 5th wheel i have a short box and need to see the pin,to see if it sticks out or goes down . thank you (12/29/2008)
Response: no I can't, it is in storage out of state. I have chosen a hauler anyway though, thanks (12/29/2008)
Question: let us know if we can help. please review our feedback and profile of what we have hauled. we will treat your camper as if it were our own camper. thanks (12/30/2008)
Question: Hi, do you still need this pulled, I could do this for about 1800.00 total bid. Please let me know ASAP! Thanx, KJHTransport (12/31/2008)
Response: Have you transported a fifth wheel before? I don't see any mention of it in your feedback messages. (12/31/2008)
Response: Hi, I have never actually delivered a 5th wheel but, I have pulled my own trailer with more than twice the weight of your RV. I also realize that RVs and enclosed trailers pull different than flatbed but I deliver portable cabins for my Dad's business that are up to 14' wide, 40' long, 14' tall on the trailer that weigh 12-12500 lbs. I have pulled quite a selection of enclosed trailers for local guys that doesn't show up on my feedbacks of course. Hope that answers your questions. Thanx, KJHTransport (1/1/2009)
Response: Thanks for your honesty but I am going to book with a guy who can help me set the RV up on site when he gets there with it and who has shipped 5th wheels before. Thanks again. (1/1/2009)
