Default Caution with loadouts!

I was bidding on a few trailers, but noticed that the site which used to help load now says buyer loads. So I called on it and they will no longer load items into the back of a truck or onto a flatbed for the customer anymore.. They have done a little rearranging of some personnel and the new management isn't as cooperative it seems

Liability purposes, perhaps?

Thats just GL. Has anyone ever gone to BestBuy to buy a tv and have them say "well, you'll have to go into the warehouse and get it yourself, we dont want to bang up your tailgate"

Its just another excuse for GL to piss off its customers.

Lots of sites / lots say "buyer loads" but I have never had any GL employee not help me when needed.
I guess it's best to go prepared for the worse but like I said, I've had good luck...even with buyer loads stuff.

I would guess this "buyer loads" rule would apply to most unmanned sites?

I guess its because we get this stuff so cheap from GL that they can't afford to pay for the quality personnel that we were used to having help us.....

The creekside location has gone to a policy that, if it came in the lot, you have to take it with you. We used to be able to leave skids or cardboard behind. Not anymore.

Now that policy I can agree with. I know If I worked there I would get tired of people just leaving behind the stuff they didnt want.

You bought it, you take it.

Which location is this?

The lots at Ft. Campbell have said "buyer loads" but they have always loaded me if I needed it.

edit- Never mind. I noticed you talked about some lots at said location so we don't need it posted util the auction is over. PM sent.

It's Frankfort. GL keeps saying that it is the COs issue not theirs. May be true as the equipment used in the past for loading was National Guard Equipment and labor.

Not mentioning specific lots
