Questions for this shipment: 

Question: How many boxes per load and how many loads a week are you needing? Do you need a reefer? Thanks, Shelley (11/5/2008)
Question: thank you for requesting my bid. do you want temperature controlled trailers, or will a standard dry van trailer be adequate? I can provide either but want to bid appropriately thank you (11/5/2008)
Response: we do not need temperature control but it does need to be overnight delivory with multiple stops. (11/5/2008)
Response: My preliminary numbers are coming in at approx 1300-1500 flat per load, extra stops en route at 65 ea, out of route stops would be higher to cover extra mileage. Is this anywhere near your ballpark? (11/6/2008)
Response: No, $1300 is way to much for us, I ship into Kansas for 1-4 boxes $30 4-8 $50 per stop. Is something like that available? (11/6/2008)
Response: I was quoting full truckload for 53'van trailer. According to your dimensions this is what you require. if you are asking for a per box rate shipping as few as 1-3 boxes, I could not guarantee next day delivery. There's still a great chance I can find a cost effective means of handling these shipments for you, but I need a whole lot more information to give you an accurate quote. The $1300 I quoted was fairly well insulated on my end to make sure I could cover your freight as required. If and when shipping takes place, if my cost falls below my estimate, you will be discounted accordingly. Can youu get me more specifics ? (11/6/2008)
Response: I do not think we would need a full trailer, even during christmas I do not think we would need a full trailer. In the beginning it may be only 3-6 boxes. As the territory develops it could be as little as 10 or as much as 30 boxes a day. I am happy to give more specifications. What more information do you need? (11/6/2008)
Question: Can you please provide the stop locations so I can provide an accurate quote with no surprises? Thanks, Shelley (11/6/2008)
Response: i do not have a list of stop locations, at the moment. What I am looking for is to establish a relationship with a shipper who can deliver my freight overnight into New Mexico. i expect to have deliveries to Santa Fe, Taos, Springer, Los Alamos, etc. I just want to know my options (11/6/2008)
Response: I can get these loads taken care of for you tomorrow for 1975 plus $50 per stop. Let me know if this is good for you as soon as possible. I would like to set this up with your company and ours for an on going account. This includes all custom and border fees. Thanks, Shelley (11/6/2008)
Question: sir, I live in S.D. and have to go to Albuquerque as soon as we get dug out from all the snow which should be very soon. Anyway, I have a new 24 foot 8.5 wide enclosed car hauler rated at 9,900lbs. and could take a load to N.M. on my way. If this would help you please contact me asap.References upon request. Thank You--Earl (11/8/2008)
Question: how often would these deliveries be? I have a vehicle going from denver to las cruces, NM 2 times a week. (11/8/2008)
Response: as often as possible, what days do you go? (11/10/2008)
Question: I too am interested in establishing a relationship what I am not sure of is how to bid on this. I am sure we can set up something similar to what you do in Kansas. I specialize in Hot shot and multi stop deliveries (have done it for 10 years). If you could please give me more information on what you are looking for, and how many boxes you are looking to move a week it would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. Bennett Trans (11/9/2008)
Response: Think I will be shipping between 10 and 20 boxes once the rout is established, hopefully more. Hard to know before I start selling it, hard to sell it without a shipper and a shipping price. What is the name of your company? Aaron Roffman Michael's wholesale flowers and supplies (11/10/2008)
Response: Jeff Park Bennett Transportation Colorado Springs (11/10/2008)
Question: Have a 24 ft cargo van that is in Utah enroute to NM: can go via Denver if you have anything that needs to ship Friday/Saturday/Monday 11-14 to 17th.... (11/14/2008)
