Writing a bid

Wats a force majeure?

I don't yet have the dates-I put in that they have to prepay the permit escort and route survey & toll $ to confirm the load. (That's just under half the $)
I also put in that I had to receive that $ a minimum of a week prior to the scheduled delivery date.
I heard they want me for the day of unloading (to have the option to drag their feet) so I offered driver and equipment for up to 8 hours at a daily wait period. Days or fractions thereof will be billed at that same day rate $1000.

 

Ah-I did include events beyond the control of the receiver-didn't know that's the term for it thanks.
According to the permit outfit a route survey takes 2 days plus the day you order it. We shall see.

 

Welp I wrote bids up, met the fellow today buying the pieces to install. Got all the permit apps and filled tem mostly out, just need to look at a couple things on one trailer tomorrow before I send them in. Then setup escorts.
Apparently first load will ship Tuesday into Wednesday, then drop trailer #1. Bobtail back and load trailer #2 and drag that down Wednesday into Thursday. Sit on the unload and screw around there n they will stack my trailers and I'll bring them home. Screws up my other plans. But hopefully this will be a good learning experience in the OS domain. Also hopefully I'll make a little money off it

Thanks for all the help gents!

 

Monday I'll be down running around north jersey. But I can be found anywhere between nj and Boston. I can usually spot a 359 a ways off, hopefully I'll get to see that sweet iron you're rocking.

 

1 time of day will make a lot of difference. 84 in the afternoon will be worse than 95 southbound esp south of new haven.
2 are you shooting for least tolls or least traffic?
