My guess is that they bid them off from a base they hadn't done business with before and have come into some unforseen expense. Probably either "A LISCENCED WRECKER CO TOWING OFF BASE" or the over width permits in one of the states he would have to cross. He will definitely have added a lot to the overhead by the time he gets them to GA.
>From my observations, dealing with each base is different. Some will bend over backwards to help you out and some expect you to bend over so they can stick it to you. I can't believe GL is giving them any extra time to think about it.

Ahh, that's the chaps out at CSI in Dallas Georgia. They were at the GaMVPA fall rally with a HMMWV and an M812 Bridge truck. Seemed like nice chaps and the one HMMWV owner here in Atlanta has had them do some work on his Slant Back. He seemed happy. You could probably go through them directly. Looks like they're just using E-Pay as a conduit for drumming up business. I get the impression that they have a number of M809 type trucks on their lot already.
