Just wait, GL will send us all paperwork instructing us to turn in all our green trucks to the nearest post/base.
Had this discussion with Maccus one afternoon in the famous pole barn. We both agreed that they better call first instead of just showing up, the trucks will still be smoldering when they come for em. It would make me physically sick to set my toys on fire, but i would rather watch em burn than be hauled off by the Man.

So who knows the MVPA President? The longer we wait, the the better the odds this becomes permanent.
Who can implement a plan of action? I work 65 hours a week, I don't have the time for this. There has to be someone who can step up to the plate.......

No kidding, I was just getting ready to put one on one of my mine!
I think I'll wait!
I ran NSNs this morning on a bunch of trucks and trailers and only a few came up a 6 (M1008, 7.5 ton trailer, and a semi trailer) much to my dismay even the newer trucks came up a 3 (M35A3, M44A3) Other items that I looked up include; M816, M818, M35A2, M1009, M1028, M105A2, M332, etc..
Don't worry they are coming for your truck!

clinto, I'd be more than happy to help in some way but I know almost nothing about the MVPA. Maybe I should start learning.
I wondering if we should start something new that could work with the MVPA. Something that would include other users of surplus not just collectors. I agree though that something new would take time and it don't look like time is on our side at the moment.
I can't think of the name of it at the moment but there is a old truck organization that could help also. Can't remember the name but they put out the "Wheels of Time" mag.

Well said, I think that the MVs leave too much of carbon foot print for us to own! We should just voluntarily turn them in.
Didn't we go through this back in December already when all of a sudden GL pulled all the trailers and trucks off their auctions and then they reappeared several days later after a full review of the classification of the items? If all of the vehicles were going to be mutilated and reclaimed from individual owners then why would their still be items up for auction? I guess I'm going to believe it when it happens as the gov't has bigger issues to tackle than this. JMHO

For what it's worth, the number of trucks (all types) currently in the GL system for sale is the smallest I can remember.
Anyone have a good GL contact?

Lets stop the rumors before they start.. NOTHING has been said about reclaiming trucks from indivduals.... All we know for sure is that the Demil advice codes have been changed. Stick to the facts, please..

I just noticed a white Ford panel van parked in front of my house, and a black helicopter flew over yesterday....

There is a good chance that is when the codes changed and it was decided to let everything work its way through the system. Federal agencies would be the first to notice nothing new was coming, then state agencies like the forestry service and soon GL.

Well,if you would read the entire thing you would see that the stuff that was in GL hands December 31st,2008 can be sold but nothing will be turned over to GL after Jan1,2009 except in little chips after being fed to a grinder.Write your congress and Senate members via the link I gave above.This will cost the government,Military and tax payers billions to distroy the vehicles and lost sale value not to mention how will this effect the countless business that use or sell MVs daily?Loggers,Rebuilders,Housemovers,etc?

Yes it has but buyers haven't felt the affects of it yet. It's like freighttrain said, they've cut off the stuff comming to GL to sell.
