Questions for this shipment: 

Question: is each car is 18'? thanks jim (11/29/2007)
Response: 18' is just a guess. But yes both cars will be about the same length. (11/29/2007)
Question: Can this be done in 2 separate trips?And how is your time frame.....I am booked until X-mas.....if it can be done after I will place bid.Thanks (11/30/2007)
Response: This needs to be done before Christmas. (11/30/2007)
Question: I move hi-value customs and race cars. If both chasis are corvettes, I doubt they are 18', which is a criticl factor for enclosed trailers. Mine is a 38' custom built enclosed fifth wheel with 8' ramp doors on the rear and curb side with a 15" floor height for easy loading and unloading and hydraulic leveling to accomodate vehicles with low ground clearance, but it only has 29.5 lineal feet of floor space. Let me know what your actual length is for both vehicles. My equipment and previous shipper feedback can be seen on my uship profile, Mimover1. (11/30/2007)
Response: One car is a '63 Corvette and the other is a 2005 Cavalier. Both these cars are not stock bodied or stock wheelbase. They have wheelie bars that extend behid them they make them over 18' each. How about giving me a quote based on me being able to remove the wheelie bars and getting them in your 29.5' space. (11/30/2007)
Response: If we could get them on board, the price would be $1400. I carry $100,000 of actual value cargo insurance. If the cars are valued above that, you would need to cover the additional amount. Mimover1 (11/30/2007)
Question: What is the length of both together without the wheelie bars? Thanks, Steve. (11/30/2007)
Response: The 18' was just a guess but I just measured another car without the wheelie bars and it's right at 17'. The Corvette may be a foot shorter but the other car is a Cavalier so it will be right at 17'. So lets say both together will be 33'. (11/30/2007)
Response: Just over for mine to get both. Thanks for the answer though (11/30/2007)
Question: We could get them both picked up this weekend and delivered about Tuesday if you don't mind them loaded on an open 40' flatbed... What the value of each car? (11/30/2007)
Response: No thank you. I want them transported in an enclosed trailer. Thanks though. (11/30/2007)
Response: Thank you for your quick response, I completely understand. Best wishes with your shipment and have a great weekend! (11/30/2007)
Question: Hi There - The correct zip code for the is 48045 so we are talking about almost 1600 miles. Is that correct? Thanks, Joseph with Creative Rides Auto Transport (11/30/2007)
Response: Yes 48045 is correct. It is Harrison Township, MI. And yes I calculated about 1535 miles. (11/30/2007)
Question: I forgot to mention that I am based out of Grand Rapids Mi, which is very close to your second vehicle and only 150 miles from the first. Mimover1 (11/30/2007)
Response: MiMover, How much would it be if I just want to haul the one car? The one at 48045 to 79360? When is the earliest you could pick-up? based on that pick-up date, when could you have it delivered to 79360? Thanks, Robert Edgar (12/2/2007)
Response: I am sorry, but the earliest I could help you on that car would be the week of 12-17. I would have to put a load together and the price would be $800. Mimover1 (12/3/2007)
Response: If I want to do both cars can you do it before the 17th? (12/3/2007)
Question: Hi, my name is Terry and I live in Adrian where one of the cars is being p/u. I have a 48 ft. enclosed trailer and offer you $100,000 in cargo insurance. When are you looking to have these cars shipped and do you have a target price? Thanks Terry; EAGLE, GLOBE & ANCHOR. (11/30/2007)
Response: target to have them shipped within the next week or so. I do not have a target price. I'm going to take the lowest bid I get. (12/1/2007)
Response: Are the cars located at a business or residental for p/u? Thanks Terry. (12/1/2007)
Response: Both cars are at personal shops with plenty of access for an 18 wheeler. (12/1/2007)
Response: Do you have a better idea of when you need these p/u and del. Thanks Terry. (12/1/2007)
Response: I'm a little flexible but no earlier than Wednesday Dec 5th and no later than Dec 15th. The earlier the better. (12/1/2007)
Response: Will there be help loading and unloading? (12/2/2007)
Response: Yes (12/2/2007)
Response: When would the cars have to be in Texas? Thanks Terry. (12/3/2007)
Response: I would like them to be here by the 15th. What is your schedule looking like? (12/3/2007)
Question: Yes, about half as much. I would have to submit a second bid to give you a exact amount. Thanks (11/30/2007)
Question: Hi Motor Age here, checking in to see if your still looking for a carrier, and if your considering my bid at all ? I still have space available although that could change at anytime. At this point it looks like I will be in MI. on the 10th & 11th. Thanks Brett. (12/2/2007)
Response: If you picked up the cars on the 10th or 11th, when would you deliver them here in Texas? (12/3/2007)
Response: Right around 1700.00 for the one car in Harrison, MI. Brett (12/3/2007)
Question: Hi Motor Age here, I would be in Seminole, TX. on the 14th, probably in the morning. The way it looks right now I would deliver your cars first then head back to Dallas & Houston with my other shipments. This means that once loaded your cars would not be moved . I will try to check with you before filling these spaces on the trailer, Thanks Brett. (12/4/2007)
Response: Hello Brett. Thanks for bidding on shipping my two cars. They both should arrive this morning. I wish I would of had your other bids before I accepted the bid through Express Auto Transport. I ship race cars from tim to time and ould sure like to get in contact with you the next time I ship one. Will the best place to do that be through uShip? Thanks again! Robert Edgar (12/11/2007)
Question: Motor Age here, Sorry to see you went with a broker. That particular one owes me money now. I had made a mistake on the location of one of your cars, so heres a 2nd bid just in case its not to late. Brett (12/5/2007)
