Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Where do prefer to have this shipped S.D. or Minnie? (2/13/2008)

Response: P/U antime from this weekend to a couple of weeks. Deliver in 1-4 weeks. What works for you? (2/13/2008)
Response: I will not be in the p/u area for atleast 10 to 14 days, will thias work for you. (2/13/2008)
Response: As long as the price is right, I have no problem with it. Place a bid! I'll check back in the morning, I'm off to bed now. (2/13/2008)
Response: Good night. (2/13/2008)
Response: Did you want to bid? Someone has a $1300 bid on the Mnpls listing. (2/14/2008)
Question: Hello Shipper, I recently transported a Challenger from Jackson,Ga. to Dallas ,tx. These are easy to work with as long as taken care of along the route. I couldn't get to yours until around mid-march, so if the transport doesn't happen for some reason let me know, I'll take it anywhere you want it. Thanks for your time. Jay (jsntx) (2/13/2008)
Response: Do you stay down south mainly? I've had them shipped from Fl, Pa, Al, Tx, and will need from Ca. in the future. (2/14/2008)
Response: I go just about anywhere if the pric is right and I can get a backhaul. Keep me in mind. Thanks, Jay (jsntx) (2/14/2008)
Response: Can you put in a bid for mid-march p/u then? That is an acceptable pick up time! (2/14/2008)
Response: Hello Shipper, Can deliver to Hayti,SD. in mid-March for 1425. This will save you some driving time. Let me know if this works for you and I'll post a formal bid for you to accept and I can start looking for a haul to Az. and a backhaul from Sd. Thanks, Jay (2/14/2008)
Response: I think I've got her taken care of for now, thanks though. Your price is very reasonable, just had a friend offer to do it for $1250.00 Thanks....Aaron (2/14/2008)
Response: Good luck with your shipments. Jay (2/14/2008)
Response: Thank you. (2/15/2008)
Response: If your transporter doesn't work out, keep in mind that I have a 16' trailor. Jay (2/15/2008)
Response: im going to chance it pulse.46athotmaildotcom (2/15/2008)
Response: Hi Aaron, Jay here again.Just checking back with you to see if your friend ever transported this for you? I see that you have one in LA. but want enclosed trailor only. As i said before, I've transported these on my equipment trailor before and have never had a problem, it all depends on how they are prepped for the trip. Anyways, just touching bases with you. Thanks, Jay (2/24/2008)
Response: Funny you should ask! The shipper has missed 2 scheduled pick ups. Now they wont return emails or phone calls. How soon could you do it, and what would you charge? I think I have the LA one buttoned up, but do you want to give me a price on both? Give me a price for the tucson only, and for a price for both. I have someone willing to pickup the LA one tomorrow evening(they're going to confirm it in the morning) so I really need a number tonight. Also, you should figure it to my zip code, 57241. Please use mapquest as their mileage estimates are a lot more accurate. Thanks (2/24/2008)
Response: Hi Aaron, I can do the one in AZ. for 1475. But it would be within the third week of march before I could pick it up. Some other shipments have gotten front of you and I won't cancel those out. The one in LA. don't think I can do that one cause I can't even come close to beating the 1100. bid you have now. Let me know if any of this works for you. Thanks, Jay (2/24/2008)
Response: Okay, thanks for the numbers. The seller needs it out of his garage sooner, so I'll keep looking. (2/25/2008)
Question: Thats too bad. I have a load already booked for next month to Rapid City. (2/14/2008)
Response: I'm in Hayti SD, 57241 Look it up to see where I'm at from Rapid city. Do you have room for it with your Rapid City load? Can you beat his $1250 since you'll only be 6 hrs from me? $1k? Aaron VanSchoiack. (2/14/2008)
Response: Alredy did that. I am loading a auto frame straighting machine in Phoenix Az. but not until some time in March. Your weather is really bad. If it is only me & my PU I don't mind the weather so much but I won't when I have other peoples property. I would for a 1000 (2/14/2008)
Response: I meant the white pages buddy. We haven't had even 6 inches of snow since the begining of Dec. Temps in the high 20's low 30's all week next week. Nothing to scary about that huh? Did you have a trailer or were you planning on putting everything in the back of a pickup? (2/14/2008)
Response: I use a 24' Gooseneck flatbed. Frame machine is 18' long. (2/14/2008)
Response: Okay, that would work just fine!! (2/15/2008)
Response: II THINK USHIP JUST LOST SOME MONEY !! (2/15/2008)
Response: Wrong you are!! They(USHIP) already have the down payment from the Mnpls listing... I accepted a bid and there was only 1 load, with an option of where to deliver. (2/15/2008)
Response: I apologige. Fly safe please. (2/15/2008)
Response: No problem.....thank you, I will. (2/15/2008)
Response: Sorry to hear about the problem with shipping. We have talked before. I am still heading to your area soon. If seller needs it gone I can get it & keep at home until I leave. I don't flake. Ron (2/25/2008)
Response: When can you go get it? That's probably most important. When are you headed up this way? I don't see any reason why I can't give it to you if you're willing to get it and store it. (2/25/2008)
Response: Again I am sorry to hear about what hapened. Can't figure out why they do what what they do. Can you find out how long seller will wait ? After last post I realized it's about a 700 mile rount trip to Tucson & back home. (2/25/2008)
Response: I really need it gone by the end of the week. It doesn't have to be on the way here yet, just gone from there. (2/25/2008)
Response: I can do that but here is the bad part, Fuel has gone up .30 PG. Are you firm on $ 1000.00 ? (2/25/2008)
Response: Can you tell me your plan?? If you can get it out of his garage by saturday night, and have it here by middle of march or so, I'll give you more for the gas increase. What do you think? P/U date? Delivery date? Cost? Thanks....Aaron (2/25/2008)
Response: The best I can do is a bid of $ $ 1200.00 & loaded on or before Saturday. I see others posting & if they can do it for less with your time frame I fully understand. My other load in is Phoenis so it would have worked before for the $ 1000.00 (2/25/2008)
Response: Well, I can do that. When are you headed toward SD? (2/25/2008)
Response: Hopefully in a couple of weeks. I have a call into my shipper in Phx. She lives in SD & Az. Just have to make sure when she will be in Az. NO CANCELLATIONS ! (2/25/2008)
Response: Okay, let me know when you have a delivery date figured out. I realize weather could change that, but I need something in the form of a date from you. I will not cancel until the shipper fails to hold up their end of the deal. The last shipper canceled on me on the seventh day after origin scheduled pick up. With out having any contact since last wednesday, I was still was holding out hope. (2/25/2008)
Response: What I meant about cancellations was I am not concerned about you. If she for some reason can not load for your time frame I will not bid. The only cancells I have are from Book It Nows & Uship does not count them against the TSP's. You will know as soon as I do. Tonight I hope. (2/25/2008)
Response: I look forward to hearing back from you then! (2/25/2008)
Response: You can count on it Thank You. (2/25/2008)
Response: Yes sir!! (2/27/2008)
Question: Hello ~ I could pick this one up in Tucson when I pick your other one up if that would help you. ~ Dee (2/15/2008)
Response: It is only one, they're both the same! I wasn't getting any response on this one at first, so I made a duplicate to Mnpls since there is more loads that way. Can you deliver to Hayti SD for the other bid you made? I need to know soon since I have another bid expiring soon!! (2/15/2008)
Response: Okay, got it. Sure I can deliver to SD no problem. (2/15/2008)
Response: Why haven't I heard from you? (2/24/2008)
Question: Thank you for your bid request. It was a pleasure doing business with you in the past and I would love to do business with you again. Unfortunately, I will not be routed into the Southwest anytime soon as I am booked up in the northwest for the next several weeks. Best of luck to you and thank you for the bid request. Kevin (Big Sky Transport) (2/15/2008)
Response: Do you want to know about loads in the future? (2/15/2008)
Response: Yes, most definately, thank you. (2/25/2008)
Response: Will do... (2/25/2008)
Response: Thank you. (2/25/2008)
Response: You bet... (2/25/2008)
Question: If there would be help with loading, I can pick up Thursday 28th and deliver on the 3rd or 4th. Would be loaded & secured into a box truck. I can do this for $1500. Payment with credit card thru Paypal upon booking. Let me know if you are interested & I will submit a formal bid. Thanks, Bostruck. (2/24/2008)
Response: There would be help loading. However, I do not pre pay for a load as people have been scammed. I'll pay the down payment, and cash on delivery. Sorry if this isn't acceptable terms for you. (2/25/2008)
Response: Our feedback speaks for itself. We also have been scammed by the shippers on this site. From deadheading 400 miles to pick up a load & been told they changed their mind to hot checks & even counterfeit money orders. We are no different than any freight company. A customer either sets up an open credit account(takes about 3 business days to approve) or it is pre-paid. The deposit you refer to the transporter sees no part of. Sorry we could not help with your shipment. Bostruck. (2/25/2008)
Response: I'm sorry we can't work together. There are just too many shippers offering payment as cash on derivery. I do understand your position completely though. As long as it doesn't prevent you from getting loads, it protects your time costs. Thanks for the interest (2/25/2008)
Response: We operate on such slim margins, particularly on this site, one bad pay takes the profit from the next three runs to pay for it. This is why we see a constant turnover of service providers on this forum. Uship is approximately 4% of our business, just fills in backhauls and deadheads. After trying the COD method and realizing we are not dealing with regular business customers here, we chose to operate as we do. We offer the credit card payment as this at least gives the shipper some recourse of something went wrong. This forum is only a load board. They accept no responsibility or offer any help for the shipments. I am sure you are totally legitamate, but our policy's have served us well. I do wish you luck with your shipments and I know there are several fine service providers out there for you to work with. Thanks, Bostruck. (2/25/2008)
Response: Thank you, Good luck and safe travels.....Aaron (2/25/2008)
Question: good morning (2/25/2008)
Response: Hi, My shipper isn't returning any emails or phone calls. Are you interested in this? (2/25/2008)
Response: I might be lets talk about 10 will that work for you (2/25/2008)
Response: Talk we will! (2/25/2008)
Response: I am still working on a load that way (2/25/2008)
Response: I haven't given up on you! Let me know if you find something... (2/26/2008)
Response: will do taking truck to shop will work onit while they work on it (2/26/2008)
Response: Are you finding anything yet? (2/27/2008)
Response: yes but no one is accepting yet (2/27/2008)
Response: I undrestand. What happens if someone uses the "book it now" and someone else accepts your other bids? Will you then be left with a load down, and no load out? (2/27/2008)
Response: yes I am worried about that but will make it work (2/27/2008)
Response: Okay, I just hope this works out good for both of us. (2/27/2008)
Question: Hello, Thanks for the request. I am interested in your plane as long as you can be a little flexable on your time frame. I'll get back to you this evening, i have to check on a couple of other shipments. I just got back from vac. so didn't have a chance to bid on the La. one. Thanks (2/25/2008)
Response: That's fine Gene. The seller would like it out of his garage as soon as possible since he needs the space for some other storage issues now. My shipper missed 2 scheduled pickups and has not responded to any phone calls or emails since Weds last week. I think they have decided not to do it or something. (2/25/2008)
Response: I'm sorry to hear that. I don't understand why they would do that with their reputation at stake. I'll get back to you asap. Thanks again (2/25/2008)
Response: Okay, look forward hearing from you again! (2/25/2008)
Response: Aaron, Just getting back to you like i said i would. I've sent several inquiries out this morning and hope to receive some positive responses soon. If i can get something together within the next couple of days, i'll place a bid for you. Thanks again, Gene (2/25/2008)
Response: I appreciate that Gene. Let me know as soon as you have something. I must admit, I regret not taking your bid the first time around. I was in a hurry though, thinking that a quicker haul was a better haul, and now it is going to take me longer. Oh well.... (2/25/2008)
Response: Aaron, Will your man in Tucson wait till maybe the 14th? I might be able to get down there sooner, but i don't want to make promises i can't keep, we both know what that's like. If that will work for you let me know, and i will bid imediately. Thanks, Gene (2/27/2008)
Response: I just got off the phone with him and he said that will work. One thing I need to add, some of the parts are at the airport, 25 minute drive from his house. If we can get them also, great. If not, I can live without them. PLEASE BID!! (2/27/2008)
Response: Thanks Aaron, I've just placed my bid and look forward to working for you. Thanks, Gene (2/27/2008)
Question: My shipment in Phoenix can't be loaded for another month. I know you need to have delivered before then. Ron (2/26/2008)
Response: That's getting out there, but better than nothing. (2/27/2008)
Question: I may be picking up another load for Ca. in Phx. If you can't get anyone else I will load & store at my home until ready to head your way. No Charge for storage. Have a 36' x 50' Garage with Security System. Ron (2/26/2008)
Response: Okay Ron, I'm not really getting anything else. When could you get it out of there? (2/27/2008)
Response: I really find it hard to understand why no one has jumped on this. You are offering a good $. I will know more later today. (2/27/2008)
Response: I'm a little surprised myself. Something will come up I'm sure. (2/27/2008)
Question: Will that work ? (2/27/2008)
Response: By next weekend? (2/27/2008)
Question: Aaron, I forgot to mention that i can get the extra parts for you also, not a problem. Gene (2/27/2008)
