Questions for this shipment:

Question: Thanks for the bid request. I just returned to Ga from Calif, via Tex. I am planning another trip west, probably about mid Jan. Would this be soon enough? Do you have a target price? (12/27/2006)

Response: Mid-Jan would be fine. I'm open price wise, still comparing bids. (12/27/2006)

Question: I may enter a bid soon. Let me see what kind of trip I can develop, that will determine what I can bid. Thanks. (12/28/2006)

Question: I am based in Park city Utah and would be leaving for MO the middle of next week. Could continue your way? do you have a timeframe? Is this a new horse you are buying?? (12/28/2006)

Response: I don't have a specific timeframe in mind, and as cold as it's been here she'd probably rather stay in TN as long as she can! I've spent some time on this mare, just bringing her out here for good. (12/28/2006)

Question: I have a 6-horse slant trailer.I can do this for you as early as the 2nd of Jan. I will provide water and hay for your horse. We are horse people who live in MT and have been in AL for the holidays. Please reply ASAP (12/30/2006)

Response: Thanks, I appreciate the offer, but there won't be anyone on the TN end there to send her on her way that soon. No Coggins or health certificate done yet. (12/30/2006)

Question: When could you have her tests done. We're flexible. We need to leave and head back out west this week. Is this a possibility at all? Thanks (12/31/2006)

Question: Hello, We are just checking to see if you sill need your horse(s) transported. If so please let us know the number of horse(s) along with the pick up and drop off towns and states. Also include the breed, age, sex of the horse(s) We are a licensed professional horse & livestock transport company & have been in business since 1955. We offer direct routes & door to door service & will get your horse / livestock to you quickly & safely. [contact information removed] (1/1/2007)

Response: I need a 3 yr. old Quarter Horse mare picked up in Lexington, TN and transported to Mona, UT. I'm still considering bids. [removed] Thanks! Elizabeth (1/2/2007)

Question: I am looking to use this website for more of my business and was wondering how you decided who you would use? I am new to this site and would like to build some feedback. The limited communication make it a little difficult, Thank You for your time! (1/3/2007)

Response: I'm probably not the average site user here, I don't ship that often. I have narrowed it down to your company and one other, the other bids I declined for various reasons. In looking over your information I'd recommend a link to your website (if you have one, if not you need one!), some photos of equipment, and references. I want to know that it's a professional doing the transport not just somebody with a truck and trailer that cuts corners. I also want to know that other people have used the transport service and had good experiences. Detail and quality matters to me, I need to know my mare is in a clean, comfortable trailer, that she's rested and gets to stretch her legs, that she's well fed and watered, that when it's all over and done she won't balk at loading in a trailer again. I do like that you're here in Utah, that's why I haven't declined you yet. I may actually end up with another horse to transport from TN at the same time, so that's why I haven't accepted a bid so far. (1/3/2007)

Question: I appreciate you considering us to transport your horse. I started my company to provide Quality, Safe and reliable transportation, the service that I expect for my own horses. We use a ¾ ton v10 dodge ( We choose gas engines for many reasons) and a brand new fully padded trailer with non dusty bedding. We clean and disinfect our trailer after every trip and on the road. We stop and clean and refresh the bedding twice a day. The horses have hay and water all the time and we stop to rest every 3 to 4 hours. We have gps and internet all the time, and cell phones. We always travel with 2 drivers and rest every night. We pay every attention to detail, and we allow you the owner to view your horse from our website (service depending) thru our webcam. CONT..... (1/3/2007)

Response: Thanks for taking the time to respond. How long have you been in business? It sounds like you're providing the highest level of care for the horses you transport and that's a big plus with me. How is your estimated pickup date in TN shaping up? Later would be better while I straighten out the possibility of the additional horse. (1/4/2007)

Question: We do have insurace but we suggest you purchase your own additional insurance which will provide you with complete coverage. We use All American Horse Insurance. We had a trip planned but recently had cancellations. The owner wanted me to cut corners with paperwork as others had done for him in the past. That leaves the trailer empty now on the return trip to UT. I will post an ad on KSL tomorrow and hope I can fill these empty spots. We are not allowed to give contact information on this website and I need to follow the rules to cont. using this site. I have great references for trailering and caring for horses. I can provide transport for both of your horses for around $1700 negotiable. Thank You for your response. Happy New Year (1/3/2007)

Question: It is the COMPANYS LEGAL REQUIREMENT AND RESPONSIBILITY to provide PROPER and COMPLETE coverage to insure any horse they are carrying. Just want to help you make an informed decision. (1/6/2007)

Question: Are you ready to decide or accept a bid? (1/6/2007)

Response: I was going to accept your bid and it's expired. I'm sorry it's been so down to the wire, it's been a monumental pain trying to get things done when I'm not there to do them. Let me know if you're available, I'll book today. (1/6/2007)

Question: You are correct in stating that everyone must have insurance but for any company to guarantee that the horse will be covered to its highest value is very bold. Anyone transporting, showing, breeding, buying selling, etc., a horse or anything similaar should have insurance for their horse. It is affordable, practical and responsible. (1/6/2007)

Response: It's more of an issue of needing to know it's a reputable company not some guy with a horse trailer hauling on the side. It's not price that matters to me it's quality. (1/6/2007)

Question: Good Morning Elizabeth Have you decided what you would like to do. I would like to leave Tues am. The weather looks good for now. Hope to hear from you soon! Jenn (1/6/2007)

Question: I will rebid now. Thanks, Guy (1/6/2007)
