    Buyer loads

    That is true, but if it is a new policy that is going to be enforced everywhere, don't you want to know about it?

    Buyer loads

    Well, the national guard loaded my trailer for me this time. The lady from GL must have told me 6 times that this would be the last time. That if I bought anything else, I would have to load it myself. I must admit that this lady is new. She repeated several times that she had to protect the...

    DLA Letter

    RE: Re: RE: DLA Letter Where is your truck at? My last truck was at an unmanned site. It's EUC took over 2 months to go through and it wasn't my first even this year. When I got there, all of the trucks had been moved out of the fenced lot onto some grass and the grass was dead under the...

    Walk away parts?

    I was told on my last truck that had obviously been moved and damaged, that I could refuse to take it and get out of the sale. The right turn light was bent back and the right mirror arm was bent. Of course, I would not have gotten the cost of the fuel to drive my other duce the 200 miles one...

    New rule

    RE: rule I have been picking up things from DRMO and GL for 20 years and have never had to show proof of general liability or worker's comp. I took your comment in the first post to mean that you knew it would be expensive because you had bought some for some unspecified reason unrelated to...

    New rule

    RE: rule Let's back up here just a minute. Your first post is just asking if others had noticed a change in the rules. Now you are saying you have already had to buy the policy. Are you saying you have tried to pick something up and was denied access because you could not prove .? Just to...

    RE: AC for van body There are a lot of different size military A/C units out there. I saw a truck on GL that had one the size a window unit in the front in the same location mine has the patched hole.

    New rule

    This may explain why I was told what I posted about yesterday. I wonder what they are going to do to enforce this policy especially for those of us that are buying this for our personal use.

    WTB: A/C unit for an M109A3

    I agree with the field modification. I have two with a patched hole the size of A/C where the front window used to be. One was patched with sheet metal and one has a piece of ply wood.

    towing

    I have towed all kind of stuff with the above mentioned 84 van on a trailer including a M135. Totally different thing. The first turn I made with the bus without a driver, the bus went straight and the van slide sideways.

    Buyer loads

    Another thing you need to look out for is that they are opening up a bunch of new sites. Montgomery now has three different places to pick up at. The GL person didn't even know where one of them was. You can bet the new places will have little to no help and GL will only want to go there at...

    Buyer loads

    I am going this Thursday. I will try to be there around 10. She gave me the window of 9 to 12. She is not the same person I have dealt with in the past. I believe his name was Mr. Dickson. He was reasonably helpful.

    Buyer loads

    I just got off the phone to schedule my appointment to pick up three shelter dollies I won at Montgomery, AL. They are listed as buyer loads. Well I have been buying from Montgomery for years. The first time I bought something after they added the "buyer loads", I went to a lot of trouble...

    What have I done?

    RE: Re: RE: Good Deal! You better bring something to cut it, I had to cut one off before. The GL guy didn't have a key or anything to cut with. he was the only one there and it was an unmanned site. I was lucky I had a hack saw and a friend to use it.

    What have I done?

    RE: Good Deal! I can't believe you got your EUC back so quick. I had one sent to battle creek on 7-31 and I am still waiting and it isn't even my first one this year. Also, I think you did good with your truck.
