Question: Is this to be shipped in one load? fresh, frozen, live, or is it in separate shipments? Thanks Gerald (3/5/2009)
Response: This is shipped weekly, mostly fresh and frozen product. Weight ranges from 200 to 500lbs. Refer service is going to be required during summer months, unless alternate methods are used such as dry ice.
Thanks.

Response: Gerald,
Thank you for your offer, but I will give you a little background on these shipments and what we currently pay for rates. These shipments are currently sent on LTL, the current driver ships for multiple businesses in this area. So you are looking at let's say, similar to a buyer's transport, or Grimshaw trucking service, where the shipments are called in, picked up usually that day, and delivered the next morning. Our current driver pick's up all deliveries from Edmonton, in the a.m. and tnen proceeds to deliver in Lloydminster the same day. Issues we have, is that the shipments are never on schedule, and this driver only works 4 days a week. If you were able to do deliveries for multiple businesses, you would do well, since there is no reasonable shipper here. We currently pay $68 for approx 320lbs, we are willing to pay more if needed for better service. If you would like more info, or have any questions, please call me [phone number removed], Cindy.
