Question: I AM BASED IN ABILENE KS AND CAN HELP YOU OUT. WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE THIS DONE? DO YOU HAVE MEANS OF GETTING IT LOADED AND UNLOADED. YOUR DROP OFF DAYS ARE GOOD WITH ME TOO. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. (5/6/2009)
Response: My shipping date is flexible if you could schedule a transport going to pick up my search light and then pick up mine on the return leg of your trip so you make money both direction's I could work with you on delivery date.The real issue is money,I work in construction and have no work.If you could find a way to lower my cost by getting paid both direction's I'll work my schedule around your's[even if delivery is a weekday].Also I pay cash on delivery [except deposit] and I don't need a receipt.I have a crown forklift 4k lbs to unload with and I'll rent a lull for you to load it with at pick up point. thank's for your time Charles (5/6/2009)
Response: THANKS FOR THE FAST REPLY. I APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET ALONG ON THE TIME ISSUE. WILL SOMEONE LOAD IT OR WILL I NEED TO RUN THE MACHINE TO LOAD IT. EITHER WAY IS FINE I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS FAIR FOR TRANPORT LIKE THIS? WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET ALONG CONSIDERING THERE IS NOT A TIME ISSUE. I WOULD BE ABOUT 3 WEEKS MINIMUM. I AM BOOKED FOR A FEW WEEKS RIGHT NOW. THANKS AGAIN (5/6/2009)
Question: So you can load the the light in OH, can you unload in KS? Will the return light be ready when this one is shipped out? I would do both for around $1800.00. If the return light is not ready, I may be able to get another haul back to OH, WV or VA. (5/6/2009)
Question: I got a load going back to Kansas. That's why I cancelled my bid. I'll be back in Kansas by Sunday. If you have a shipment going east & want to combine it with this load, I can handle it next week. Let me know where the eastbound load is going & I'll give you a price for both.------------Larry (5/6/2009)
Question: HOWS IT GOING? STILL NEED TRANSPORT? THANKS (5/11/2009)
Question: Would this be possible to load onto a van trailer? If so i can be very competitive but need an answer w/in 12 hours as I already have a partial pickup in columbus ohio on thursday morning returning to Salina KS on Friday afternoon. Also to clarify this shipment is for a one-way to Wamego KS and not round-trip? Thanks (5/12/2009)
Question: I live 80 miles from were your light is and have 30' of flat space I could put this on as long as it can be lifted on and off or I have a detach trailer with a 14" rise and it could be put on without lifting.If I could get the haul next week would work great for me to meet your unloading needs.Thank you hope to hear from you soon. (5/12/2009)
Response: hi, are u still interested in this job? I am willing to rent a lift/LULL for you but I am not familar with the area. the man I bought it from is older so he can not help. write back, thank you (5/15/2009)
Response: I am still interested in moving this piece.I own fork lifts and would be willing to load myself I was just curious about the accomidations availiable.I would really like to do buisness with you.Hope to hear back soon thank you. (5/16/2009)
Question: Hi, not sure you got the response to the question you asked. I can help load or load with a piece of equipment. I may even be able to drop the goose neck trailer and hook up to the light trailer with my pickup and back it onto the trailer if I lower the dovetail. It would be easier with a forklift though. If the old man has equipment close by or can locate you a lift, I can load it. I also asked in the reply if you have another light coming back or not? If not I may try to pick up another load in KS to bring back east. (5/15/2009)
Question: I live about an hour from the pick up point, I have a 32' gooseneck with ramps and winch I can pick up and deliver this week, do you have one coming back also ? MIKE , TWIN OAKS CUSTOM TRANSPORT (5/15/2009)
Question: Also wanted to tell you I would be hauling on an airride trailer to limit the bounce I know the roads through indiana are very rough if there is concern about the bulbs or glass I woul seriously think about that.Thank you hope to hear from you soon. (5/16/2009)
