Questions for this shipment:

Question: What date will you be ready? (5/9/2009)

Response: By Fri. (5/15) - I'm flexible about arrival date, but the sooner the better. (5/9/2009)

Question: I can pick-up this weekend and deliver within 10 days. Is trailer road ready, tires, bearings,lights, etc? If so, please check out my feedback/profile and if my timeline will work for you I will try to meet you at an agreeable price asap to book the job. I will be the actual 100% legal, insured,dot, truck driver doing the job. Thanks, Ron (5/10/2009)

Response: I'm trying to decide whether to drive out and haul this myself. In order to decide, I'm trying to see if having someone else do it is a feasible alternative. If I let someone else do it, I will fly out to confirm the condition of the plane as well as the trailer. Everything, including many photos, suggests that the trailer is in tip top shape. I would need to confirm by a visual inspection and receipts of when bearings where replaced/repacked. If all is found to be in order, I will want it shipped ASAP. At this time, I don't have a definite answer to your question or an exact date that I would want it picked up. Thank you for your interest. I would be very interested in knowing what you would charge for such a job. That would help me in deciding how I want to proceed. (5/10/2009)

Response: Thanks for responding. Honestly, I only bid on things that are a definate deal if I meet their demands. I can't obligate myself on maybe's, this would lessen my chances to make a profit, and loose me hauls from those that are ready to hire a service now, therefore leading myself into going out of business. I hope you understand. Thanks (5/10/2009)

Question: Hello Shipper. We could do this for you for $1650, or under if we could find something else going to Utah. Request a bid if needed. (5/10/2009)

Response: I'm flying to Escalante, UT today (Tue. 5/12) I need to verify the condition of the trailer, etc. I am currently requesting bids. (5/12/2009)

Question: If this is enclosed in its own trailer, I can take this down to AL for you. I haul and transport helicopters and fixed wings including some gliders and ultralights. Please check my profile for photos and feedback. I can pick this up 5/15 or 5/18. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks, -Mountain Man Helicopter Hauling (5/11/2009)

Response: I am flying out to Escalante, UT today (Tue. 5/12). I will verify the condition of the trailer and sailplane. I'm 99.9% sure that it will be in excellent condition to be hauled. (Tires, wheel bearings, etc.) I am taking bids. If you would like to make one, I'd be glad to consider it. (5/12/2009)

Response: Sounds great! I have hauled several aircraft within the area. If everything passes your inspection, pleae let me know. I make sure I check the wheel bearings throughout the trip as well. I will submit my bid upon hearing back from you. My bid will include everything from checking bearings and lugs to picture confirmation of picking it up via picture messaging or email. Looking forward to hear back from you. Thanks, John Plato -Mountain Man Helicopter Hauling (5/12/2009)

Question: Greetings, I can accomodate your shipment. I have submitted a bid of $1360, which includes all costs. I could be there tomorrow (15th) and deliver by the end of the weekend. DOT Compliant, Fully Insured, M/C-VISA Accepted, Transport Plate available. Please let me know as soon as you can if I can be of service. Thank You, Barry (5/14/2009)

Question: I am leaving Fla with a boat for Utah and could bring this back for you. I have a boat to pick up in Fla to take to Ny. I should be in Utah Sun or Mon. Is that to soon. I would be coming straight to you. COD. Thanks, Paul (5/15/2009)

Response: First of all, are you still in Utah and if so, how much longer will you be there? Also, does your bid include everything. What happens if the trailer blows a tire (I'm not expecting anything like that, but know that's always a possibility). How do you charge for the time, etc. required to repair something like that? I'm getting very close to accepting a bid and have one other possibility in mind. The fact that you said you'd be in Utah is a big plus, I would think. Thanks, Rob (5/18/2009)

Response: I am still in Utah and will deliver the boat today. My cost does include everything. I will check the tires and bearings before I leave and if I see a problem I will fix it before I leave. You would be only charged for parts. I will accept payment on delivery. Thanks, Paul (5/18/2009)

Question: looking at getting ready to head through Alabama enroute to Georgia. I'll be leaving Utah early next week. Please let me know if u need this hauled. Thanks. John Plato -Mountain Man Helicopter Hauling (5/15/2009)

Question: Hi Shipper. You shouldn’t accept anyone’s bid but mine too quickly. I have set the UShip system to automatically underbid all other service providers, but it takes the system about 2 hours to update. I do have other bids pending for the same route as yours though, and the UShip system will also automatically cancel all other bids when the first shipper accepts. Hope to do business with you soon. Any chance you could make a decision today? PS: Being a pilot myself, I would rather fly your plane home, but if not, I do understand the strengths and weaknesses of aircraft, and the special handling they need. (5/16/2009)

Question: I have a driver in your area today and can transport your plane for you to AL within 2-3 days. We are based out of TN and it would be on his way home. Please get back to me as soon as possible so we can get this transported for you. I replaced a bid I think you will agree is the cheapest you will find. Thank You Christy Bohn Transport. (5/17/2009)

Question: Good afternoon. By the way - I live about 50 miles north of Huntsville, so we are nearly neighbors. Hope we can help each other out with your shipment. Thanks, Dan (5/17/2009)

Question: Have you been able to check on the trailer yet. I will be in Utah tomorrow delivering a boat from Fla. I am looking for a back haul to Fla because I have a boat to pick up and take to NY. Thanks, Paul (5/17/2009)

Question: How did she look? I see your listing expires tomorrow. Is the shipment still a go? Just a little extra info - Besides the glider I delivered in February, I have delivered experimentals, taken apart, in their own trailers on this site, too. Also, what doesn't show on here are the operational planes I have ferried, including a Mooney MU-2, a Beech Bonanza, and lots of Cessnas and Pipers in between. Hope I can help you, too. Thanks, Dan (5/18/2009)

Question: I resubmitted my bid. Thanks, Paul (5/18/2009)

Response: I accepted your bid of $950.00 right before it expired tonight. Just checking to see if you are still available and what I need to do next. It sounded like you could pick up and deliver this week. That would be wonderful! Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Rob (5/18/2009)

Response: Yes I could pick up tomorrow but I don't see where you accepted the bid. I could rebid if needed. Thanks, Paul (5/19/2009)
