I had bought an older two horse trailer almost two years ago from a lady in Missouri.  Due to vehicle and time problems I hadn't been able to get down to get it.  A couple weeks ago I told someone what nice horses she had and couldn't believe that no one was taking a colt she had listed for sale. ; She told me that if she ever had a trailer headed my way he'd be on it.  I told her that I had a trailer down there that I had bought.  She told me to let her know when someone would be getting the trailer and she'd meet them and put the colt on my trailer.  I listed my request on uShip and had several offers but Doug Goss' seemed the best. ; I accepted his offer.  He was coming up from Texas to Minnesota to pick up a trailer and was willing to stop in Missouri and get my trailer and then meet the lady to get the colt. ; He said he had to backtrack a little but not to worry about it.  He picked the trailer up on Christmas Day, overnighted, and then picked up the colt in Kansas City very early the next morning.  He called me at 7:30 that morning to tell me that he was on the road headed my way with the trailer and colt. ; He called me just before 1:30 that afternoon to let me know that he was just outside Mason City, Iowa and would be at my place shortly.  He arrived at my farm at just after 2.  He helped me unload my colt, told me that he had been a good traveler, and that the trailer had pulled nice and straight.  Doug was very professional and even parked my trailer for me in the yard! ; I would definately use him again, his price was extremely reasonable for what he did.  uShip is a service that I would also use again, I like eBay and this is very similar.
