trailer loadout

[N1265]

I am thinking of getting a trailer threw GL,

will they let me tow it off base without any trouble ? or do I have to put it on another trailer to get it off base.

Thanks Nick

I've seen 105's towed off base before........

I've gotten some from them. If it's road worthy, hook up and go. At SAFB they never check you at the base on the way out, just coming in. If they do, you have the paperwork for it, no problem.

I had one GL guy tell me that he had a guy come in for 4 105's... stacked 2 inside the other 2, hooked them up tandem behind his dually, and away he went!!!!

As long as you have some way to get your stuff off their lot without damaging anything else, and without needing thier assisstance, I don't think GL gives a damn how you remove it.

Is this for an M105? We just drove in with our deuce and left, 10 minutes tops.

Now, once you get off base, the cops may have an issue with you, so make sure the way you hook it up is going to be road worthy, safe, and in compliance with vehicle law, but as far as GL is concerned, as long as you take it, they dont' care. At least that's been my experience.

Should this not be in the trailer section??? I don't think it has much to do with the M880 specifically.

Thanks for the answers.... I just thought I might get hassled in some way by the people on the base.

I trailer I am looking at is a M101 for my M880.

Before you are allowed on the base they make sure you have current registration, insurance and drivers license. They are very strict about that and wont let you on. Once on base its a matter of hooking up and leaving after getting your paper work from GL of course. I have never been stopped leaving the base, have towed 3 105 trailers, 4 dueces and driven 2 dueces off the property.

One more consideration, don't drive on base with your cell phone on your ear. They'll stop you for that!

 

[rmgill]

What if it's clamped to your head under your ear phones? That's Hands free right?

And DONT speed. The MP's will give you a ticket, and in my experience, there is no "pleabargaining" with the federal judge

Depends on the base (what they do there) and DHS alert level. Visited Rock Island Arsenal Monday and only needed IB/drivers license this time.

FYI a bunch over VERY nice 3/4t trailers coming up in gov't liq mid Apr @ RI. Back from Iraq, went thru TI/repair at RI and issued to NG units who then turnin in as excess. I may have to get one just on general principles.
One of 3/4t tlr has a fiberglass hardtop (top is in fair condition) which like will bring a high price. I did not know DOD had such a top.

The DRMO at Letterkenny isn't even on post, so you don't have to show them anything, just make a right at the stoplight and drive onto the lot.

I guess its just my experiences at Vandenburg , Barstow and Port Hueneme as they are all very strict.

Well, it was all buisness and no smiles at Bragg, but then again, that's the home of the AB, not some backwater equipment dump in Appalachia

When I was at training at Bragg in the early 90's it was an open post. No gates at all. Just drive on post. I was stationed at Fort Campbell at the time and this was a closed post which meant we had to have go through one of the gates. Has Bragg changed that much lately? Some areas like the Special Forces were protected by gates.

ALL the AD posts have gates, security guards, and vehicle passes if you dont have a sticker.... They are closed posts now
