hello everyone! if you want to be part of this trip you need to contact me immediately! - space is already limited - email to rkee...@realtime.net
the trip starts with a rare TX northbound to ND leg with stops in TX AR IA MN ND - after meeting the Canadian buyers of export animals in Portal ND I will go west to MT ID WA OR picking up and dropping off animals in OR I pick up a large load going east to MO SD and NY - this has turned into a yearly event where I move rare soay sheep from coast to coast! - thank you to all the people who plan well in advance to share in the cost of long distance transport! - their planning lets me offer very reasonable fees to them even on the coast to coast transports! after unloading in NY I start picking up again in PA NC and head back west via NE to WA OR CA - again I pick up large loads in WA OR going east to CO OH after a swing down into central CA to deliver some more soays and mini donkeys and to pick up going to MD after delivering the large load to OH MD there is a chance that I will be delivering a large load from MN IA to Miami FL for export to Jamaica - we are still working on the details of this near my maximum capacity load of hair sheep POSSIBLE ADDED LIMO TRIP - there is a tentative TX CA TX limo trip - if the buyer goes ahead with this option I would be making a quick trip late OCT along the southern route - the buyer is willing to share space and fees from there I would go back to my home base in Texas - this is going to be a LONG trip so when I get home I am going to be TIRED! - it is not likely that I will make any long trips in NOV and possibly DEC - I have a lot of work needing to be done on my equipment stable of three tow vehicles and three trailers - it is an ongoing expensive process keeping all the equipment functioning and safe for the type of miles I put on it and the hard work I ask it to perform! - my mechanic always has a big smile on his face when I pull in the driveway of his shop! - he has spent a week modifying and upgrading the new Bruton luxury limo trailer with more ventilation, a generator for the rooftop AC, and modified interior gating to improve functionality for my application - the Bruton is now a one of a kind totally unique trailer just like my 20 foot double deck trailer is a totally unique trailer designed for a purpose! - just another indication that I intend to give your animals the best transport experience I can now and in the future! it appears that all of my small livestock transport competition has succumbed to the economy - that means that my trips are going to become longer and loading heavier in 2012 - your early reservations are going to become even more important - I do not ask for a deposit but I do ask that you let me know immediately if your plans change so that I can assign your reserved space to other animals - I will move as many animals as possible but I only have so much time and space! - it does not mean that I will be raising my fees! - my fee plan has been in use for over 5 years and I intend to keep using it because it has proven fair to you and me inspite of the economy and fluctuating gas prices! I always need pick up city/state, drop off city/state, and a brief description of the animals in every email please if there are timing restrictions or complications (export) please inform me of your needs and schedules I do not monitor the groups closely so please reply directly to my private email address at rkee...@realtime.net payment is due on delivery - I can take cash, bank check, MO, and PayPal there is no contract other than your word via email -- questions?
