Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I may be taking a load to Texas soon. What belongings do you have? Please see my profile so you can see pics of my truck. I have a 4door 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500HD 4x4 with plenty of room for you and your dog. I could be pulling a fifth wheel camper or not. I don't know yet so I need to know what you will be bringing along besides you and your dog. What size is your dog? (10/19/2008)
Response: Not much, at most two backpacks, and my dog is pretty small. If I go with my dog then he can just sit on my lab, he's about 25 pounds, but I also have a kennel which is 26'x16'x16'. My dog is listed along the same route and there's a picture up of him, I wasn't sure how to list us together. Do you know about when you would be heading down? (10/19/2008)
Response: I am not sure yet. Hopefully before the middle of this week. If not then next week at the latest. I just have to find a load going to Texas first. What is your budget for getting you down there? Your dog is fine to ride with too. I will have plenty of room. I am a smoker too by the way but not a chain smoker...lol. If you smoke that's cool with me. Just don't burn the leather seats...I have a brand new truck and still breaking it in. Let me know. Thanks. (10/19/2008)
Response: This week or next is fine, I would need a day or two notice at least. I'm not sure about prices for this type of thing, but I was thinking about $150 for myself and the dog. No problem about the smoking. (10/19/2008)
Response: Ok. Most loads in Illinois come out from around the Chicago area so I can just meet you wherever you need to be picked up at. This would be a 2 day trip since it is about a 1,100 mile trip. We can work out more of the details later on after I book a load going to Texas. (10/20/2008)
Response: $150 is fine for both me and the dog? I live near Joliet, just a few miles from I-55, but if you want to take I-57 or something else down I can meet you somewhere, no problem. Keep me posted as to when you're thinking of leaving. Thanks, Yunus (10/20/2008)
Response: Perfect timing, I just woke up. :-) The price is good with me. I am waiting on a shipper to respond so I can make sure I can get a load to south of Austin. If I get this load then I gotta figure out if I should pick you up before I get it or after. It may be an oversized load though so I may have to pick you up before I get it since there will be few places I can drive with it. I will let you know asap after I find out. (10/20/2008)
Question: Hello again. Sorry for the late reply. I am not able to come up to Chicago area but I will be heading to Texas next week. I am heading to Hereford Texas which is kinda out of the way from Austin and I have 2 fifth wheel campers I need to take from Iowa to Hereford Texas so......I know you need to get to Austin but I won't be heading near there but I will be in the state. Is there someway you could get a ride to Peoria this weekend and then I can drop you off in Hereford Texas and you get a ride to Austin? (10/22/2008)
Response: Thanks for getting back to me but Hereford is just too far out of the way. Have a good trip! (10/22/2008)
