Question: a four state move with permits and 2 escort cars with only 2 days notice for 4 k ? (6/1/2009)
Response: I know, a shipper cancelled. (6/1/2009)
Response: i would have to charge all most double that amount. permits, 2 escort cars @ $1.25 per mile each. is thier a travel lift on both ends ? (6/1/2009)
Response: No there is no travel lift. The boat is on it's own bumper pull quad axle trailer and is simply a pick up and drop off. (6/1/2009)
Response: i could not move it for you. that type of trailer has to be inspected per ca. law. the first weigth station i drive thru it would be inspected. for brakes, lights, springs, cracks in welds. make sure the trailer is in perfect condition or c.h.p. won't let it leave the weight station. it might be worth it to have a mobile mechanic ( one of the guys who repair heavy duty tractor trailers ) inspect it first. (6/1/2009)
Response: okay, but the trlr is in excellent condition. Just went through. (6/2/2009)
Response: what type of hitch is on the trailer 5th wheel or pental hitch (6/2/2009)
Response: it's a 2 5/16ths " ball hitch. I'm trying to post a pic of it.
(6/2/2009)
Response: 2 5/16 ball setup is not rated to the 28,000 lbs the weight you have listed. what type of brakes dose the trailer have electric or air (6/2/2009)
Response: electric surge (6/2/2009)
Response: the only people i can think of that would have the proper equipment to move a trailer like that is some one who moves mobile homes they are the only people who have a 2 5/16 ball hitch with a high rating like that. mobile home movers also are about the permits and escort cars. (6/2/2009)
Response: I think you're right. Do you know any? (6/6/2009)

Response: Good Afternoon Sir ~ I tow with a Volvo Semi. I have moved several heavy items, also wide. The truck is set up to transport mobile homes. More than enough power, brakes to handle your lady on her transport to WY. Thank you. (7/1/2009)
Response: this trailer has 8 hole 16.5 tires. I'm sure you could do it but the day is definitely the 6th. (7/2/2009)
Response: I can pick up your transport on Monday. Wheel pattern is fine.
Today is Friday, if you are going to award this transport please take into consideration there are Permits that must be applied for as well as Pilot Cars to arrange for.....if you wait to long your boat will be able to be loaded but not move along the highways because Permits, etc. are not in place. (7/3/2009)
Response: good point (7/3/2009)
Question: Do you still require transport Sir? (6/27/2009)
Response: Yes, please see my other question. (6/29/2009)
Response: Good Afternoon...just happen to be home and got your email. Yes I can pick up the third or fourth...I will rebid. Thank you Sir. (6/29/2009)
Response: how about the afternoon of the 2nd? (7/1/2009)
Response: Good Afternoon ~ I will pick up the boat tomorrow afternoon.....BUT....you MUST accept my bid. I have to get permits. Please Sir there is not much time left. Thank you. (7/1/2009)
Response: Are you available the 6th for a morning pickup? the trailer is located at 623 pioneer, wilmington california and must be taken to 829 harbor island drive, newport beach ca to get loaded by travelift at Basin Marine. It is between you and another fellow who is pretty reasonably priced. tks. (7/2/2009)
Response: Good Morning Sir ~ I can load your transport on Monday. I have rebid. The difference between my bid and the "reasonable" bid is I am offering to transport with a Semi NOT a pickup. You have 28,000# Wooden Boat here to transport, very heavy and in my opinion not a transport a pickup should handle. I am offering to transport your boat legally and with insurance coverage. If you want your transport done cheap I suggest you want for the guy that has 1 move under his belt and a pickup . Thank you. (7/3/2009)
Response: I understand your point (7/3/2009)
