Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Is this going to be multiple drops? and is there any driver assistance needed? We are out of the Seaford, DE area and can do this easily for you. Thanks (3/30/2009)
Response: It will be multiple pick up, I am asking supplier to secure pallets and load truck. There will be only one drop, in Ocean City, Md. I will need for this run to be done completely at night, the crabs do better this way. Would like to have shipment arriving at 6am. Let me know if there are any other questions. (3/30/2009)
Response: What time will we be able to start the pick-ups? If you would like 6am delivery, depending on the number of picks, we will have to get loaded early. So, it will be one load of 200 bushels per day (3/31/2009)
Response: Might be only 4 stops, but pallets will be ready to go. Load will be place into truck by shipper. (4/3/2009)
Question: What kind of equipment you are going to need.... dry van or reefer? (4/1/2009)
Response: Reefer. I am shipping bushels of live crab. (4/3/2009)
Question: Hi shipper, what size truck would you need? I have a 26Ft reefer. I would be able to do the transporting for you with no problem. When would you like to transport your first shipment. I'm available 4/19 or 4/20 Let me know (4/3/2009)
Response: I have posted this shipment to see what kind of quotes I would get. I am in need of shipments in the next three weeks. I am also going to start slowly and ramp up to 5 days a week. 26ft truck would work just fine. This is a seasonal shipping project. Sometime in April through September, as much as five days a week. (4/3/2009)
Response: Thanks for your response I'm willing to work with you with price of shipment and avaliable 24/7. Derrick (4/3/2009)
Response: Sounds good. Crabs are ready when they want to be, I cannot simply go out and pluck them like weeds. I should have a better idea of dates in about 5 days. Lets keep in touch. (4/3/2009)
Response: Hi Joe thanks for the response I understand about the crabs can't be plucked, if you have any questions for me feel free to ask, will be looking forward hearing from you. Thanks Derrick (4/3/2009)
