Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Can you tell me the dimensions of the sewing machines? Can you provide the loading/unloading help? I have a liftgate, handtruck and dollies and I will blanket wrap. Can you be ready for loading Friday? (8/5/2009)
Response: 4x L: 48", W: 24", H: 36" (approx.) (8/14/2009)
Response: My truck is 8 ft tall and I am not set up to add shelves where I could add more things on the space above your machines. IF you had responded when I was in IN I could have given you a good price. Now I really do not want to bid since you have not accepted the fair bids you got. Your probably have a full truck because of the type of items that you are shipping. (8/14/2009)
Response: I know what I have and how much cargo space is required,,, I've been hauling fright for over 30 years and have my own rig. I only pull end dumps now. I dont want your bid... dont bee so pushy. (8/14/2009)
Response: With your experience I would expect dimesions or a total volume for those who go by it or weight for the others. Some pictures would also help. You do not need to bother with me since I told you I will not bid. Regards. (8/15/2009)
Question: Hello, when would you like to move? (8/11/2009)
Response: We are already in California. The items are in a public storage and we are trying to figure out the best way to get them here, eather by shipment, or fly back to Indie and rent a truck to drive them back. The cost and time are the factor... (8/14/2009)
Response: ok well I will be heading out mid september, if that might work I can put together a bid. (8/18/2009)
Response: Give me a bid when you can, all items should be able to fit inside a 16' dry-box truck (stacked). The cost to myself if I was to do it would be $1822.67. That would include the airfare, truck rental and fuel. All this stuff belongs to my girlfriend who moved here to CA with me after I came home from Iraq. She is going to Indie to check on the storage next week and make sure things are "good to go" for the move. I am an owner/operator trucker myself, but it would be cheaper for me to do it this way. Thanks. (8/19/2009)
Question: Hi Shipper, approx how much space are you thinking you will need in say a 15ft. cube van? Will this be a two man job or more? thank you! (8/14/2009)
Response: you could probably squeeze everything in a 15 foot dry box with a careful load plan. the sewing machines weigh approximately 300 pounds each, you might need some help loading them if you dont have a lift-gate and dolly. (8/16/2009)
Response: Hi thank you for your response, but I think I will have to pass on this. Best of luck with your move. (8/16/2009)
Question: Hello. We can load you tomorrow, ramps, dollies, forklift, we have it all. Insured and secured. Truck going to be in Chicago first thing AM and in 2-3 hrs we can get to Indy. to load your items. Delivery in 2-3 days. If timing works I will place my bid. Thank you. Alex. We have about 17-20 ft on the end of the trailer. (8/25/2009)
Question: Thanks for asking me to rebid but I'm booked solid for the next few weeks. When I get free I'll check back with you to see if this still needs done. With fuel on the increase I hate to bid to far in advance. Thanks Jim (8/30/2009)
Response: Thanks. (8/31/2009)
Question: Hello there, we are planning a delivery to California dates are not finalized yet but we could haul your items, we have a 15 ft truck. (8/30/2009)
Response: The items I have to ship would take up most of your 15' truck. It would be LTL of a 45' Semi. (8/31/2009)
