Questions for this shipment:

Question: i will make a bid and i have a trailer that i can haul on will bid 600 will make bid later (11/7/2005)
Question: i changed my bid for you i hope this is low enough if not let me know (11/7/2005)
Question: Hey shipper I am hauling a trailer from Sleepy Hollow IL to FL on Nov 21st. These would go good in the back. And they will deliver the next day! Please let me know right away and I will place a bid. I can haul them for $380, thank you! (11/9/2005)
Response: sounds great. I put this bid up before I spoke with seller and have some updated info to share. He has a forkl;ift at home and plans on shipping engines unpacked. You have a beatiful truck, so I want to be sure you wewre aware. if tou have 2 pallets and tie downs that would be great!! I'll give 7you a couple of my tie downs here in Atlanta as a thanks. I would like the insurance, but am not sure how to calculate cost of engines. I am a family man too, and prefer to do business with folks who are trying to raise a family like me! Please bid and after I accept let's work out the details! (11/9/2005)
Question: Hey shipper, Well all we need to do is figure out what the value of the motors are. Devide that number by 100 and times that number by $0.55 and we have the insurance total! As for pallets ask the shipper to look behind any store, Grab 2 and secure the motors to them when I show up We load them in the trailer, I then secure them inside the trailer, and away I go. (11/10/2005)
Response: Thanks for the claification on insurance, and great idea about the pallets. I appreciate it! I'll pass info along to shipper. I hope that you are planning to bid once I have all details worked out! Thanks (11/10/2005)
Question: I think that the people that pulls a trailer for someone and picks up someone elses shipment and hauls it on that trailer is not doing good buisness, ,but these people dont see that either. (11/10/2005)
Question: Hey smart ass how do you know what permission or arraignments I have? This is a loser driver right here! The kind of person that will say and do, and snipe anyone without any facts to get what he/she/it wants. For you information mr. know-it-all I have permission to load as much as I can get in this trailer to help offset the cost! As a matter of fact the shipper had the manufacture ad extra D Rings just for this purpose. Next time mind your own dam self! LOSER! To my shipper sorry I vented that on your site. It erks me when people like this little piss ant try and snipe. They are scabs and nothing more. Keep his user name for me. By the way I am still waiting for your response, everything is looking good on our end! (11/10/2005)
Question: [Removed] (11/10/2005)
Response: what is your problem? why are you so angry? I am a guy just trying to get new engines for my boat so my family can enjoy the lake this spring. I wouldn't let you bring my load even if you would do it for free. Some free advice, lose the attitude then the (0) zero by your name (11/10/2005)
Question: Hey there other driver, yes it is the dump trailer, how did you know may I ask? (11/10/2005)
Question: Well I read this whole post and remember that Sleepy Hollow to Florida Trailer. I remember that shipper telling drivers that they could haul other items in it to get her shipper cost down. Looks like you got the load! I was going to say something in my last post to "MR. KNOW IT ALL" that I knew this load, but I wanted to make sure. I think that scab got the point. If not he wont last long on here! Good Luck with your hauls! (11/10/2005)
Question: OK I See. I was wondering how you knew but yeah that post had alot of interest in it. Lots of Q&A'S on that listing. Thats why I bid it so low and got it. I knew I could place other items in it. It had no D rings on the floor when I got the load, but we got it set up with them now. So now her husband can use it for more than dump hauls in the future! She is a great customer. Hey thanks for best wishes. Be safe ure-self! (11/10/2005)
Question: I can take the motors for you non stop. I can accomodate them in engine cradles, so no need to finding useless skids. Let me know I am 45 minutes from Joliet, can pick up anytime to help accomadate shipper. Will give you the best price. (11/10/2005)
Question: Shipper talk to me 1st before you do anything. And by the by your load will be non-stop from me as well. You are the 1st drop! Useless Skids? The whole dam shipping industry is using useless skids huh? This is the guy that inveted the wheel, and the question mark! Again some scabs will say anything to snipe another! (11/10/2005)
Response: he has the palleets! Are you still able to ship on the 21st? (11/10/2005)
Question: Hey shipper,I am sorry you thought that was intended for you. That wasnt. That was for the scab that tried to bad mouth the driver that was going to haul your items in the trailer. Again none of that was directed at you. All for the guy that "THINKS that the people that pulls a trailer for someone and picks up someone elses shipment and hauls it on that trailer is not doing good buisness, ,but these people dont see that either." I hope you understand. As for my (0) I have feedback, Lots! Just not under this name! (11/10/2005)
Question: Shipper, sorry for the guy going off, I never wrote or asked you anything before,he flagged me because others were commenting not me. I live in the area and have several motor craddles that I use in my business. I will wrap them in plastic and be inside a covered area. This guy is getting mad at the wrong people. Just trying to help you. (11/10/2005)
Question: [Removed] (11/10/2005)
Question: Oh this is crazy. I am off this load. One man tries to snipe, another follows form and all hell has broke loose! Its just too much B.S. I have too many people trying to get me to haul their items on this run. One last note: I think the teamster guy may have been the same guy that came to my defense, we had a brief conversation? If so, I apreciate your backing me up, but I didnt need all this headache. Next time I post on an ad, I will include a Signature. So please dont back me up again! No offense, I can handle myself! MR. C (11/10/2005)
Question: if this Mr . smart continue talk like this we all be sitting home (11/11/2005)

Question: shipper i am in IL now!!! will be in WI tonight! be here for 2 days, if you want this done, let me know! if not, let me know! (11/15/2005)
