Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello Shipper, Sorry to hear that you had a problem from a hauler. Seems to happen a lot now a days. I will be in NC on the 12th or 13th and could bring your boat back to Houston with me. I could do it for $700.00 to me. Let me know. Click on my user name to see my feedback. Let me know asap. Thanks Doug (2/2/2008)
Response: thanks for the 700 dollar offer. not sure what the "to me" part is. Is there a commission you have to pay to Uship? i'm trying to get it delivered sooner but may be willing to wait if i don't get a better offer. I do like your feedback better than the last guy! Gary (2/2/2008)
Response: Hello Gary, I cannot answer that question due to uship rules. Thanks Doug (2/2/2008)
Response: Doug, one other question. would you be pulling it on it's own trailer or transporting it on your flat bed trailer? thanks, gary (2/5/2008)
Response: Hello Gary, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Trip is still on for NC. Will deliver a trailer to Durham on Monday. Could pick up your boat on Tuesday morning at the latest. Be in Houston on Wed. evening. I would be towing your boat on its own trailer. Thanks Doug (2/6/2008)
Response: Thanks Doug, My cancellation should be final tomorrow and then i will be free to accept an offer. Wednesday should be fine. (2/7/2008)
Response: Hello Gary, I am going on the road today. I travel with a laptop and GPS so if you accept my bid it will not be a problem. I also have my cell phone with me 24/7. Hope we can do business. Doug (2/7/2008)
Question: The bid I sent you is for TOWING your boat on your trailer. I'm also insured with Lloyds of London for $50,000 at no cost to you. Please read my profile and feedback. Thank You walbert52 (2/2/2008)
Question: Sorry, but I can't beat the 700. wish I could. Thanks for the request. (2/2/2008)
Response: Don't have to beat it. just trying to find someone who can pick it up sooner for close to that amount. thanks, Gary (2/2/2008)
Response: Hi, the earliest I could pick it up would be Tuesday, and that would be for 828.45 as I'd have to change my route, etc., so I wouldn't loose money. (2/3/2008)
Question: Hello, Thank you for the request. Unfortunately, I am completely booked right now. Thanks, Matt(WolverineTransport) (2/3/2008)
Response: thanks for the reply (2/3/2008)
Question: Hi, comming back from NY on the 5th pm could pick-up or 6th am and get it there by be 7pm 850 Thank you (2/3/2008)
Question: ***any interest in the boat from north carolina to houston? i'm all for being transported. less wear and tear for the trailer. you don't have to be the lowest price- just close. also need to know how quickly you'd be making that trip."**** I am not sure if I could meet this date for pick up as of yet. I am waiting to get a call back from another customer. If he can push his shipments ahead, I can pick up for you before the 9th. I could match other bids if the measurements you have listed are correct. I will bid as soon as he calls me back. My biggest concern is the height you have listed. Sorry it took awhile to respond. The question came in the other listing and it would not let me repond. (2/3/2008)
Response: The actual height on the trailer is 9 feet. i have one bid at 750 and two (one expired) at 780. the 750 was in a answer to question and is not "official". I like the idea of transporting over trailering so let me know if you can do the job and what price you can do it for. The date may not be as important as price so i'm sure we can work with the other shipper. i can't "match" another bid (i don't think- i'm new to uship) until i get the cancellation confirmed from my last match. Turns out that shipper was arrested during his last shipment and those people's truck was confiscated. He coulnd't/didn't respond because he was probably incarcerated. i'm liking your feedback a whole lot better about now! John, i just went back and checked your feedback again and you have a number of cancellations also. Please let me know if you can or can't pick up on whatever date you specify. i can't go through another cancellation process. Thanks, Gary (2/5/2008)
Response: I will not be able to meet a 9th pick-up. I am trying to contact another shipper, but he seems to be away. The canx were my fault, no doubt. I had some personal family issues. They have been taken care of, but life happened. You may want to let Uship know of your last match. They may be able to expidite it for you, given that info. Be careful who you do end up choosing. If they are not legal, they too, may be arrested for the same reasons. It would then strand them and your property. Check MC #'s. Sorry for the delayed response, but often times, we have to rely on multiple shippers to make things go smoothly. If it doesn't, it creates a domino affect. (2/5/2008)
Response: John, my cancellations should be final tomorrow. i have 3 other offers at 780 but they are all towing my trailer. Please let me know if you can definately pick up my boat and transport this month at same price. I figured out what the MC#'s were! Thanks, Gary (2/7/2008)
Question: Hi, I'm leaving for tx this thursday and can bring your boat but I also need to know if your boat will fit my trailer. My dim's are 18'L x 7'W(inside fenders)x 2'H(from ground). Let me know if this will work. My price is 750.00,Thanks Bill (2/3/2008)
Response: Bill, the boat is 18 feet 6 inches and 8 feet wide. not sure on height while on it's trailer, but i'm trying to find out. (2/3/2008)
Response: Hi, Well too wide for my trailer, but if your trailer is in GOOD highway condition (ie-tires,bearings)I'll still be willing to bring to you for the 750.00 if you want. Thanks Bill (2/4/2008)
Question: and "yes" on the trailer thing, earthworm (2/5/2008)
Response: How late is the "end of the month" and when you say "yes" to the trailer thing is that my trailer behind your truck or your trailer with my boat and trailer loaded on it. (not putting miles on my trailer would be a plus although it is a new trailer). I'm trying to let the guy i bought the boat from know the time frame he's going to have to store it for me. Thanks, Gary (2/5/2008)
Response: I apologize for that, yes, I would pull your trailer behind my truck, its an 03 dodge 3/4 ton, and the end of the month would be the 18th to the 29. I do not have a solid date on my shipment that gos to Charlotte as of yet.. they build 1 a week and my next one gos to Atlanta on the 11th (2/5/2008)
Response: Earthworm, Thanks for your interest in the shipment. i've accepted another bid that can get it here by next Wednesday, but i do appreciate your bid. (2/7/2008)
Question: I could pick this up late thursday or early friday and tow it directly to you. Let me know as soon as you can if you're interested. (2/6/2008)
Response: Are you talking about picking up this week or next? What price are you bidding? Thanks, Gary (2/6/2008)
Question: I can pick up today or in the morning, I don't think you will get any thing but the same at the price you are looking at. It cost at least $1.00 a mile to ship correctly and worry free. We are a fully lic. and insured DOT and MC carrier. Insurance is included at no additional charge. Please have a look at our profile and feedback, If you like I will bid and pick up your boat right now. Dave/KingTransport, I will be on line for a bit so you can get right back to me Thank You Dave (2/7/2008)
Response: Dave, i'm flying to Florida for the day and will be back Saturday around noon. If you picked up tomorrow when would you be in Houston? I'll check with the guy i bought the boat from but tomorrow would be great. i waiting for my official "cancellation" from the last guy who apparently was arrested during his last job and was unable to complete the transaction before i can accept another bid. But go ahead and put in a bid so we can make it official. you have great feedback. (2/7/2008)
Response: thanks looks like a 2 day delivery. I will put in bid please accept or decline ASAP as I do not over book then cancle on you. Dave/KingTransport (2/7/2008)
Response: Dave, i love the timing but can't do the price. i understand the problems and figure the other guys are carrying more than just my load to make it work out but i have three bids at 780.00 and am just waiting to see who can get it here first. Let me know if you can get a little closer to that price. Gary (2/7/2008)
Question: will this work for you, I may have the boat in your drive sat night or sunday AM depending on pickup time? Dave (2/7/2008)
Question: Hi, Are you waiting for someone to pick up your boat & trailer and put on their trailer or someone to pull your boat & trailer? (2/7/2008)
Response: I've accepted another bid, but thanks for your interest. (2/7/2008)
