What site is holding them?

As far as anybody can tell there is no end in site for the hold. They have to physically inspect 474 trucks.

I have 2 in Frankfort Ky, and one in San Antonio.

My truck is on the list. My EUC came through after the Hold. Went and picked it up yesterday. No questions asked.

Marcus is allowing pickups at Frankfort with paid in full invoices still. Another fellow there Jay kept on asking me if I had my paid in full invoice. I got the impression they want these trucks off the base ASAP. I know the MPs want them gone....

I was under the impression that as long as you have the invoice, you can pick up your truck. Keep in mind the 14-day limit...I was told that still applies.

I did get my paid in full invoice a couple of days ago. I called the govliquidation office in San Antonio where one of my trucks is. They said to me, "Bring your paid in full invoice and come get your truck" I asked about the "Hold" they said "we have an open door policy, just bring your paid invoice and come get your truck". I also have 2 trucks in Frankfort, KY. I tried calling that office but just got and answering machine and they have not returned my call yet.

Does anyone know what it might cost to ship two Dueces from Frankfort Ky to Driftwood, Texas? 78619. And can you recommend a company?

Put them on freight quote and let the companies compete for the haul. U-ship also works. It would be much cheaper to pick them up yourself though. I could possibly find an extra driver and drive them down for a reasonable amount of money, but it would probably be a few weeks before I could do it.

I'm unemployed right now and would volunteer to drive one if all expenses were covered. I don't need to make money...I'd do it for the trip.

Time isn't really a problem for me except for the time limit to remove them from the govliquidation yard. I think I could find the time to move them if I could store one there for a while. Move one and come back for the other one a a few weeks. Another thing I've been wondering, what is the cost to drive them VS have them hauled? People are telling me they get 7.5 miles to the gallon. Its a 1100 mile trip. If Diesel is $4 a gallon, thats over 1100 just for fuel on the return for 2 trucks. Then there is the cost to get myself there as well as facing the potential for breakdowns while coming home.

Not sure how I'm going to do this yet. Right now, I'm just trying to weigh all my options.
