You can get a GL truck registered with your state before pick up? That's handy. In CA it only took three trips to the DMV, one with the truck and I felt lucky.

I didn't say it was hard to do. Actually, I did it myself. Heck, it was so easy, a caveman coulda done it. I've talked to a lot of people who think they are covered no matter what they drive - rental, new car off the lot, friends car, etc. Some, like you are. Many are not, but this...

My insurance company told me the same thing - they won't touch anything over 10,000 pounds. If I would have just assumed I had 30 days and then had an accident I would be in deep chit.

I agree and think you are completely correct - for the part of the recovery that was OFF BASE. I guarantee that every base has a minimum set of requirements for someone to legally operate a vehicle on base. What is happening at MOST bases is those requirements aren't being enforced (or even...

Most bases you still can drive off. A few have tightened things up.

State laws usually have little bearing concerning ON BASE regulations. Seldom will a commander make them more relaxed than a state law, but often they are more restrictive. SOCAL bases were way ahead of CA state law banning cell phones while driving. I mean totally banning them, not even with...

It's NOT a GL policy. They have ZERO authority over driving on base. Those rules are set by area commanders. Sometimes the base commander sometimes the region commander. If a set of restrictions are applied to a base or bases, it was NOT done by GL. Those rules might be in place BECAUSE of...

Not here in Southwest Region. Just updated all of my vehicles today out to 2015. They debated that here for awhile and decided to keep it status quo.

Don't get me wrong, I in no way think having registration, insurance, etc makes anything any safer. I just have a hard time understanding why some people feel they are entitled to do something that the men and woman who work on these bases CAN NOT do. Towing your purchase off bases doesn't...

Most folks will rig up a fording kit and longer snorkel and drive them home anyway.

I don't know what the big S##T is. I just know that if I want to drive on base or if a contractor, an active duty member, a Gov employee, etc, etc wants to drive on base (or off or around) we have to stand in line provide documentation (including the big S##T registration) and get a pass or a...

I just think that everyone driving on base, even if they are headed off with their "new" surplus MV should jump through the same hoops as the personnel working/stationed there do for this PRIVLEDGE. Stand in line at pass/decal, show proof of insurance, registration and valid drivers license...

Cars get a temp pass for a variety of reasons, but no registration isn't one of them. When you buy a car from a dealer you get the temp registration and with that you can get a temp pass. When you buy private party you haul your butt down to the DMV and get your paperwork in order before you...

GL didn't make the rule that you can't drive off of base. They have no authority to do that. If they did it would be in effect at every base. The fact that it isn't in place at every base and that GL has no authority over who drives on base tells me it's a local thing at this point. Each...
