Questions for this shipment:

Question: i can pick these up on may 3 and deliver same day or next day. price $500.00. i'am fully dot legal and have insurance. if this meets you needs let me know. thank Team2Towing (5/2/2008)

Response: I am flexible on dates, but the tower is not ready for pickup until May 8th at soonest. (5/2/2008)

Response: sorry i will not be in the area atthat time. i'll keep a eye on your shipment to see if it is still there on my way back. thank Team2Towing (5/2/2008)

Response: you are welcome. (5/2/2008)

Question: I'm going that way in the next couple of days but she would need to be ready by Tuesday at the latest. (5/3/2008)

Response: It won't be ready for pickup until May 8th soonest. The parts are arriving in another truckload shipment coming into that location on the 7th. (5/4/2008)

Response: Thanks for the quick response. I don't think I can put off my other customers that long. (5/4/2008)

Response: no problem. I understand. (5/4/2008)

Question: I will be leaving Jamestown ND this coming Sun and could pick up your "tubes" on Sunday if that is possible?? I could deliver in Antiock on Monday for 550. Would this work for you? (5/3/2008)

Response: This would be fine. What would be your delivery price? (5/4/2008)

Question: What time on the 8th can these be picked up? (5/5/2008)

Response: Sorry. Shipper on inbound container says delay coming into ND, and might not be available until the following Tuesday, May 13th now. Very annoying to me, and not helpful to you either. Sorry about that. (5/5/2008)

Question: shipper, just let me know if there'd be a problem loading into a fully enclosed trailer. The enclosed area is 8.5' wide and 28' long. These weigh approx. 350 lbs a piece? so 2 guys could load but up to 4 total would be best. I hhave no problem with being the 2nd guy at both locations...Thanks, Steve (5/7/2008)

Response: There is no problem in an enclosed trailer. The area that the parts need would be about 18 feet long and 6 feet wide by 6 feet tall, stacked. The parts can be moved fairly easily using a furniture dolly on level ground or once on truck. Lifting them into the truck would need a few people, however, as 350 lbs is a bit heavy for two people. I think we can have at least three people there to load and unload, and the dead lift need is not for a very long period. (5/8/2008)

Response: How much lower do you need me to be to accept? (5/10/2008)

Response: One other suggestion: Since timing is not critical for me on delivery, you might be able to combine this shipment with another shipment or might be able to fit this one in as a return trip with some other shipment. There is no problem shipping other stuff with this shipment and the tower parts can be stacked so that they don't take up more than 18 feet total in an enclosed trailer or on a flatbed. (5/10/2008)

Response: That's all I use this site for usually is backhauls and fillers. going price right now to run a truck is over $2 a mile. The allstate bike on my profile paid $3.20 as an expedited haul. You might have looked at the average price over these miles on the website, but you have to remember at one time 80% of these shipments were done with fuel being around a dollar a gal. That tool to say the least is quite useless these days with fuel at $4-4.40 a gal. (5/11/2008)

Response: I understand your point. I am not comparing to other shipments, but only with offers on this shipment. I know your fuel costs are high, but we also worry about costs in our business. Therefore, I will accept the lowest price offered unless there is a good reason not to do so. (5/11/2008)

Response: totally understand here to (5/11/2008)

Response: thanks (5/14/2008)

Question: Is this ready to go ? I can do it this week for $ 1100 total. KVE (5/13/2008)

Response: I have a lower priced offer. (5/14/2008)

Response: Good for you, thank you. (5/14/2008)

Response: you are welcome. thanks for offering. (5/14/2008)

Response: I might be running north the week of the 26th, I will be able to do it then for $ 750 total. KVE (5/18/2008)

Response: The warehouse manager at that location had to take a trip to install several towers out of town in a rush request from one of our customers. Thus, we won't be ready to ship out now until he gets back on June 4th. sorry about that. It is annoying to me too. (5/18/2008)

Response: Is this available for transport now ? Bid is up to $ 950 due to fuel price increase. (6/2/2008)

Response: It will be ready for pickup on Thursday morning. (6/3/2008)

Response: I might be able to pickup tomorrow afternoon with monday delivery, is it ok ? If yes I will place bid. Thanks. KVE (6/5/2008)

Response: Oh, wait. The guy who is the warehouse manager is going to be away again for a week and has asked me to delay shipment until Monday June 16th. The receiver is fine with delivery anytime on the 17th. If those dates work for you, submit a bid. However, you might not want to bid since the low price bid is now less than your lowest acceptable price for transport I think. (6/5/2008)

Question: Also is it possible to pickup on Saturday ? (6/5/2008)

Response: No. The person who will be loading the tower will be away until Saturday evening, unfortunately. (6/5/2008)
