Just got a letter that Fort Knox GL is under new management. Now they want me to clear up the record for the removal of my property.

I don't wish anybody out of a job, but Marcus was generally undependable.

Yep, I got the same contact.

I called the GL lady who e-mailed me; while I had her on the phone I asked her what was going to happen to all those trucks still in Frankfort. She said they're all being shipped to Huntsville, AL.

Oh well, so much for trying for a winch truck.

I hope not...there are 53 trucks still available there. I actually scoped out a few of them already.

Wonder what the hauling bill would be? It would take 27 loads.

She said that, including some others in Greenville, KY, over 100 trucks need to be hauled from KY to Huntsville.

I offered to take a couple off their hands and save them the trouble. I guess it don't work that easy...

greenjeepster

I wonder if they are going to the scrap contract? What location is Huntsville, Redstone?

Redstone is at Huntsville.....they are now a regional sales center for vehicles.......and yes our tax dollars are paying to ship the vehicles there.
I bought some deuces from there last year that had been shipped in from up north (Ind, Ohio and Ill,). I had spoken to a driver that was bringing the trucks in and he told me what the freight rate was.
I was buying them for less than the freight cost to ship them to Redstone.
I sold one to a guy in Ohio that had to have it shipped back to Ohio......he called me later and said the truck had came from a NG unit 20 miles from his house........great use of the Federal Budget .
GL is behind all this since they can lay off employees at the smaller locations and make more money. They must have a lot of clout with the DRMO folks.

**** I wish I had the skill's to gather all the crap that GL does with our money, both from sales and from the Gov. side and form a letter that everyone here can copy and email to their respective congressman. Things need to change. I know compared to the $$$ that being thrown around now this seems like chump change to them, but this just makes my blood boil.

Edit: back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I know there's three sides to every story, but the GL lady I talked to said it was the C.O. at Boone to blame--that they'd love to just sell them from Frankfort but he wants them out of there NOW!

Ft Knox is a lot closer than Redstone.
