Question: Hi, whats the weather like in your area right now? You may want to wait till after winter time. I could do it in March / April '08 but weather would play a major role on delivery. Just a little info. for you. Thanks, Mark (12/13/2007)
Response: Hi Mark:
The weather is good right now. March delivery would be fine. I'm not in a rush to have the trailer shipped, the manufacturer probably won't have it ready til Late Jan. /08 anyway. I live in S. Alberta and would meet the truck with the trailer and bring it into Canada myself. So I could take delivery anywhere in MT for that matter.
Thanks for your email.

Question: Hi Harold, I deliver several shipments to MT a year and would the opportunity to earn your business. I see your timeframe is open but what is your target price? Thanks Phillips 4 Trasporting (12/13/2007)
Response: Hi There:
I'm not really sure what the rates are for shipping something like a travel trailer. Ballpark, I was hoping for somewhere in the $1000 range? You can tell me if that is out of line or not? Thanks for your email.
Harold (12/13/2007)
Response: Yes, $1000 is very low with going to MT this time of the year because of the weather and road condition. We also have to take in consideration because we can end up stuck for up to a week some time due to weather condiions. My price would be no less than $2800. Please let me know if I can still assist you. Thanks (12/13/2007)
Response: Hi There:
Thanks for your reply. $1000 is low but I have already been offered a much lower rate than $2800. I don't have to move the trailer til spring, so I don't think weather should be an issue. Thanks for your interest. (12/13/2007)
Response: Ok, that play a very important role to this shipment. I can do this for $2000. If you would like me to place a formal bid please let me know. Thanks (12/13/2007)
Question: My bid expired on this, when you get ready to roll on things drop me a note and I will resubmit... trying to get a run west to visit family, thank you. (12/26/2007)
Response: Hi There,
Thanks for your interest in the shipment. Unfortunately, the deal on the trailer didn't come through. I will repost the shipment, probably in March, when I know the deal has gone through. Thanks for your reply, I appreciate your interest. (12/30/2007)
Response: I appreciate the courtesy, please contact me when you get ready to roll.... be happy to work something out with you then...Best in the New year.. (12/31/2007)
Question: Hi! I'm working on another vehicle out of Ohio and if that comes together (I'll know in a day or two or three) I can bring this up to Sweetgrass for you for $1850. LMK and if this is agreeable I'll get busy on this other one. Time frame would be toward the middle to the end of January for delivery but we can coordinate that suit your schedule as I have plenty of storage space here in Iowa until it suits you. Thanks and I'll look for your reply. .... Bruce Baker, Solon, IA (12/28/2007)
Response: Hi There,
Thanks for the reply. Since I posted my shipment, the deal on the trailer hasn't come through. So, unfortunately, the trailer won't be available to ship til probably March. I will have to repost the shipment when I know for sure that the deal for the trailer has gone through. Thanks again for your interest. (12/30/2007)
Question: Harold. I am assuming this is going into Alberta. If so I can accomadate shipment to your location in Canada. We are a legal and insured carrier in both the US and Canada. I also can put you in touch with a broker we use frequently @ the Coutts, AB border. I delivery many trailers and boats to customers in Lethbridge,Calgary, and Edmonton. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank You. Jeremiah (12/30/2007)
Response: Hi Jeremiah:
Yes, I am bringing the trailer up to the Calgary area. I thought I would just have it shipped to Sweetgrass MT and pick it up myself from there. I am going to do the brokerage myself, as it is just filling out some paperwork. But if you want you can give me a price at both Sweetgrass or Calgary. Thanks,
Harold (12/31/2007)
Response: Harold, Thank you for your reply. I could deliver to Sweetgrass for $1800.00. If you would like it delivered to Calgary it would run you $2250.00. If I take it into Calgary it would save you about 8 hrs and 400 miles of driving. Also wanted to make sure you are aware of the border fees that will have to be paid along with the paperwork (form 1) that has to be completed. The broker that I use is in Coutts, AB and I believe they charge about $100.00. Please let me know you thoughts. Thank you. Jeremiah (12/31/2007)
Response: Hi Jeremiah:
I think I would still take possession of the trailer in Sweetgrass. All said and done I think for the extra $500 I would just come down to the border and get it. I've hit a snag with purchase of the trailer, so I think I am going to have to relist the shipment for Feb. or March. The deal is taking longer to complete and the trailer won't be ready for about 8 weeks yet. So i will probably have to book a carier at that time. Would you be towing the trailer or would you bring it on a flat bed, open or enclosed? I wasn't sure on your bid how you would be transporting the trailer. Anyway, thanks for your reply, If you are still interested, I will be bring out the trailer in Feb or March. Thanks!
Harold (1/2/2008)
Response: Harold, still would be interested in the shipment. I could possibly do sooner then spring if you would like. I am picking up a shipment in Hamilton, OH that is going into Cowley, AB. Also have 4 other shipments going into Edmonton and Calgary. Your shipment would be ideal for picking up when I get done with those. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Jeremiah (1/7/2008)
Response: My timeline will be about early March somewhere. I will know more in the next week or two. If the date works out, I would defintiely give you a shot at it. I just wanted to check, would you be hauling my unit on a flatbed trailer (open or closed) or would you be towing it? Thanks Jeremiah.
Harold (1/7/2008)
Response: Timeline works out to our advantage. This would allow us to schedule shipment around your shipment. Like I said I make multiple deliveries into Alberta, BC, and SK and it always helps when we can get lead times. Also your unit would be towed behind our truck. Your units height would only allow unit to be put on a low boy as the restricted height is 13'6" with obtaining special permits. Also would you like me to place a bid. If the price I quoted before is acceptable you would be able to accept bid and then we could put you on the books for a delivery date. Let me know. Thanks. Jeremiah (1/7/2008)
Response: Hi Jeremiah:
I would prefer to have my unit brought out on a low boy. So I think if I can get a reasonable offer with that mode of delivery, I will take it. So probably what I will do is put it back up for bid when I have the exact possession date of my unit. Thanks
Harold (1/7/2008)
Question: If there is anyway of shipping on Thursday I willship for 1450.
Let meknow Thanks Shad (1/29/2008)
Response: Hi Shad:
Thanks for your email. Thats a great price, but unfortunately the trailer is being manufactured right now and won't be ready to ship til the end of Feb. or so. If you have something going late Feb. or March sometime, I would be happy to look at it.Thanks for your inquiry.
Regards,
Harold (1/30/2008)
Response: We will be happy to take it for you then. Just request a bid from us just in case we lose track of your listing or accept a bid and we will write you into the book. Thanks Shad (1/30/2008)
Response: Hi Shad:
Would you tow the trailer or haul it? I am hoping to have the trailer hauled.
Thanks for you response.
Regards,
Harold (1/30/2008)
Question: please check my feed back just hauled a camper to shelby mt from wi for a nice family in canada let me know if you still want this hauled up thanks ken (2/21/2008)
Response: Hi Ken:
Yes, I am still looking for someone to take my shipment. The trailer will be ready to ship around March 15. Are you able to haul it or would you be towing it? I would prefer to have it hauled if possible. Is $1700 still your price to Shelby? Anyway, I haven't booked the shipment with anyone yet and looking at your record, I would be happy to send it with you if we can work it. Thanks for your question and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best Regards,
Harold (2/21/2008)
Response: my price will stay the same even know fuel keeps going up trying to keep all the qotes i gave as if you would have booked it would like to get it locked in with dates flexiable to within 10 days or so for you and me so I can work on loads back not a easy task with out a trailer I would be towing yours would need you to have it tagged and ins thanks ken keep me posted diesel in georgia this morning was 3.53 thats high for us (2/21/2008)
Response: Hi Ken:
Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I know fuel is getting more expensive all the time. It makes it tough, that's for sure. Do you have a trailer that you could haul my shipment on? If you do, I would be happy to get another price from you.I'm going to keep looking for someone to haul my shipment, intstead of pulling. If I don't find anyone I will then have to get it pulled. If you're available still, maybe we can book it then. I should know that in early March. Anyway, thanks for your reply and I'll look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks for your reply.If I can't get a reasonable bid to haul my trailer, I will have to get it pulled. It's a brand new trailer that is why I was hoping to get it hauled. What would you charge to pull it from Ohio to Montana? Anyway, thanks again, I look forward to hearing back from you. (2/24/2008)

Response: Hi There:
The trailer is still being built. It should be ready for pickup in Ohio by March 15 or possible a few days earlier. Thanks, (2/25/2008)
Question: Hello, I am very interested in your shipment. Is it ready to go? I could pick it up on Monday and deliver it a few days thereafter. My price would be $1500.00 which includes full value insurance. Check out my feedback. Let me know and I will place my formal bid at your direction. Thank you, Kurt from Summit Transport LLC (2/27/2008)
Response: Hi Kurt:
The trailer is still being built and won't be ready for shipment yet. It will still be another 1 - 2 weeks before it is ready to ship. If you can do it towards March 15 I would definite want to give you a shot at it. Would you be hauling the trailer or would you be pulling it? I would prefer to have a carrier haul it as the trailer is brand new. Thanks for your question and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best Regards,
Harold (2/27/2008)
Response: Hello Harold, I am definately interested in it. That would be too late for this trip, but we make one per month so we could get it next time if that would work for you. I would pull it up on a 44' custom low profile flat bed with the winch. The price would still be the same. Let me know if you can wait that long. Thanks again, Kurt from Summit Transport LLC (2/27/2008)
Response: Hi Kurt:
Thanks for your reply. I can wait, thats no problem, as long as it's not top long down the road. I believe your bid was $1500, if the price stays the same I thnk we can make a deal. Do you know approximately when you would be making your next trip? It sounds like your low boy trailer is exactly the type of transport I am looking for. Thanks again for your reply, I'll look forward to hearing back from you.
Best Regards,
Harold (2/28/2008)
Response: Hello Harold, It looks like I would be able to pick it up on or around 4/1 and I would deliver to you a few days later. I will place my bid if you are ready and once youy accept the bid my contact information will be made availible. We can talk on the phone to work out any other details. I am looking forward to having you as another satisfied customer. Thanks again, Kurt from Summit Transport LLC (2/28/2008)
Response: Hi Kurt:
That sounds fine, I can wait til April 1 to have the trailer picked up. If you want to put in your bid again for $1500, I will accept it and we can go from there. Thanks again.
Harold (2/28/2008)
Response: O.K. I will place the bid momentarily. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again, Kurt from Summit Transport LLC (2/28/2008)
Response: Hi Kurt:
I just accepted your bid and got your contact information. You can give me a call whenever you have a moment and we can go over the information about my shipment. I am located in Southern Alberta Canada, about 3 hours drive from Sweetgrass MT. When you bring my trailer, I will meet you in Sweetgrass and tow it across the border and bring it up to my home in Canada. Thanks again for your bid and I looking forward to doing business with you.
