Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Did you have specific dates in mind or time frame? (2/22/2009)
Response: No date in mind. Obviously the sooner the better, but I know weather up there is hit and miss. We have a guy in Fla, but his job keeps him really busy. He is cheap enough but I am really getting tired of waiting. Thanks (2/22/2009)
Response: Did you have target price in mind? (2/22/2009)
Response: Yes, 1000 or less. I have one for 850 but it is more of when he can do it type of thing and could be in a week or a month. I really want a set date with no excuses and for it to be done when it is claimed to be done. (2/22/2009)
Question: if you post this as a 1000 book it now i can get it to you in a week (2/22/2009)
Response: How are you planning to do this? You know the trailer has to go with the unit..right?? The goose neck is probably about5 feet and 40 feet of trailer with the buck body on that. What day would your plan be to pick it up/ or deliver? (2/23/2009)
Question: Hi,just wondering about the weight,is this thing really that heavy?Iseethese on so many trucks.If on your trailer would you be securing it?I also assume it is NOT over 8'wide.The trailer is a goosenck not a 5th wheel? Last about how much weight on tongue,assume the truck body will be far to the back of trailer.I am set up for gooseneck(not 5th wheel) with a 3/4ton deisel truck w/ air bag suspension assist but can't really (legaly) go over 2,500lb on hitch.Let me know if you think this could be done,if so I'll bid.$1200,p/u Fri ,del Fri/Sat.Also could I m put my motocycle on your trailer if we do this?Thanks,John (2/23/2009)
Response: Yup, it is that heavy, it is an all steel body, and I beleive the weight on the neck to trailer was like 3500 lbs. Total over all was something like 31k and I beleive the truck with the trailer on it was 6700 lbs. SO yes this will be too heavy for your truck for sure. Your truck has to be registered for at least 31k or better depending of the weigh on you truck. A heavy one ton will do it , but you would also have to have a CDL to haul this. It takes a 2 5/16 inch ball, so it is NOT a pin type. Keep in mind that is the total weigh for the body AND THE TRAILER. Thanks (2/23/2009)
Response: Thanks for the (fast)reply.If I can get my F450 back up and going I'd be ok....but don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.But thanks any way,maybe this info will help out the next person who is interested in this.Good luck on this and wish you well.John (2/23/2009)
Response: John, no problem, the EXACT numbers are as follows. Weight on the ball is 3040, and the entire weight is 23,460 (2/23/2009)
Question: It looks like this is just the bucket truck body, not the whole bucket truck, right? Is there any room on the trailer to put any other freight? If so, would you mind if I did that, to keep your shipping cost down? Thanks. (2/25/2009)
