Question: Before I place a bid , would the shipper be willing to meet me at the 5 & the 74? Its a pain running the Ortega Hwy and I would need to know this possiblity to factor in my bid. Thanks for your consideration, Ian (spazster34) Johansen Second Chances Transport Kennewick WA (7/21/2008)
Response: I have contacted seller and He stateds that he is about 1 mile off of 5 & 74. (7/21/2008)
Response: Ok , turns out I won't have time this run to get it. If you don't get it resolved this week , I'll look into it next week. Thanks again and take care , Ian (7/22/2008)
Response: That would be fine, But I need a bid submitted. (7/22/2008)
Response: I would submit a bid in a week if I know I'm going that way. No point posting a bid,only to have to cancel it later because I have nothing else to go along with the job. I've yet to have to cancel a job and don't ever want to.I can post a bid based on expediting your shipment, but you'd be looking at 5 times your book it now price and thats not realistic for what your trying to do and I understand that.I don't try to build my routes on small things, they are generally addons if I'm in the area. This week is too tight of a time line for me to drop down from Orange and back up to Vegas to meet a customer at a specfic day/time. You'll get bids, especially closer to the weekend when guys have lost part of loads or are looking for something to toss in the back of thier pickup. Take care and like I mentioned, I'll keep an eye on the job and bid next week if I'm in the area and I know how much room I have and what would be fair at the time based on load. Ian (7/22/2008)
Response: Thanks for being honest about it. I am trying to get it up to bellingham next week if possible, But I am new to this shipping business, and do not know it this is possible. (7/22/2008)
Response: Its possible, like I said you'll see more activity later in the week I'm sure one of the I-5 guys running back and forth from San Diego to Blaine will probably get it to you. Unfortunatly its not a normal route for me otherwise you'd have my bid by now , that I can tell you :) Also if anything changes on my way this run , I'll pop a bid in, don't worry about that..lol Take care , Ian (7/22/2008)
Question: We will be in that area soon, if you would like us to pick up and if your serious please contact us asap (7/21/2008)
Response: I am serious about getting my kit to bellingham. When you state you will be in the area soon, what dates are we looking at? Pickup and delivery (7/21/2008)
Response: You would be on our return run which pick up would be around Aug 3rd deliver of 2.5 days later. (7/21/2008)
Response: You will have to make a bid and when all bids are in, I will except or decline them. That is how this site works. (7/22/2008)
Question: And how is the shipper supposed to contact you "asap" unless you are directing him to the phone book to call you directly??? Hmmmmm....
(7/21/2008)
Response: One could leave a quote which is what I am seeking. When it could be picked up and when it could be delivered. Along with your contact information. When I except the bid, I can then contact you. (7/21/2008)
Response: My notation was for the 'transporter' slyly directs people to contact him directly which is a uship violation. Good luck. (7/22/2008)
