    GP wild goose chase

    I'd be happy with $250. I had a m931a2, not quite a commercial tractor but it does get the same mileage (or worse) with half the horsepower.

    GP wild goose chase

    How do I go about billing GP? Nobody there is going to take reaponsibility. Mistakes are NEVER GP's fault and any mistake they make is at OUR expense. Kind of how any government type agency works, their motto is: your mistake, you owe us pay up or else; our mistake, you owe us pay up or else.

    GP wild goose chase

    Thats the same thing that started all my trouble; GP customer service gave me the number for a POC that no longer worked there and when I called the POC to schedule pickup he never informed me that he doesnt work there, not until I showed up for pickup!

    GovPlanet RESTRICTIONS & Updates

    Not all GP transactions are like mine, I had no problems getting my M931 two days earlier at another location. Just make sure to verify that the person you are talking to actually works at the location your item is listed, that the item is at the location listed, and if they have any...

    GovPlanet RESTRICTIONS & Updates

    Would be nice if we had a choice who to buy from but GP has the monopoly on the MV market and is the only choice.

    GovPlanet RESTRICTIONS & Updates

    Fortunately they didn't try charging me fees because I was fortunate to get there 2 days after the auction. Had I waited any longer my trailer would have been destroyed at the scap yard and chances are I would not have got my money back. What a shame to scrap a perfectly good trailer like that

    m925a1

    The tires are not flat that I noticed. The wheels did get quite warm appears one set is a little discolored at the hub area. Is the 800 series 5ton hydraulic brakes? The m295 trailer is air over hydraulic, possibly some of the same parts as a m105 trailer? Is there a civilian source or way to...

    m925a1

    Thanks for that info. I did notice the channels under the floor. There is instructions on the heaters for how to start them but nothing about type of fuel, other than "mogas only" stenciled above the filler neck for the fuel tank at the front of the trailer. It would be awesome if the...

    m925a1

    I screwed up and destroyed my brakes on the way home. The trailer supply valve popped out at one rest stop after a few hours because air pressure had bleed down. when I took off, I didn't realize the valve had popped out. I am used to driving a commercial tractor/trailer setup where the park...

    GP SF97 held hostage and Lies!!!!!!

    try again at a different dmv or with a different clerk, not the anal retentive marine lawyer chick who has something to prove by refusing forms not filled out to her liking. I have done that before, get turned down at one office by an uncooperative unreasonable grouch and get accepted at...

    GP wild goose chase

    I do plan to call on Monday. It was too hectic of a day on Friday to call GovPlanet and was too late after everything was sorted out. I did not have time nor the frame of mind to talk to a customer service rep and be put on hold for hours.

    GovPlanet RESTRICTIONS & Updates

    I did my scheduling through GovPlanet and they gave me bad info, item i was to recover was not at the location they said and the POC number they gave to schedule pickup didn't even work in the same state was where my item was supposedly located, and he didn't bother to tell me until i called an...

    GP wild goose chase

    I guess the only thing a person can do to avoid all this trouble is to verify with the POC when you call to schedule a pickup that they are at the location on your paperwork. (his cell phone # was a local ND number so I didn't think anything of it) And secondly, ask if the POC can go out to...

    GP wild goose chase

    Hopefully what I have to say will save someone a lot of time and frustration in the Future. I was sent on a wild goose chase this week because of bad info from GovernmentPlanet customer care, wrong info on sale item location, and incompetence/someone not paying attention to detail at the DRMO...

    m931a2 recovery from Sparta WI.

    Thanks. I finally made it home safe and sound. Concerning the m295a1 recovery in Minot, ND, it was a bad experience. It all started with GP customer care giving me the contact number for a guy that didn't even work in Minot. I won the trailer on Wed., paid for it and scheduled pickup for that...

    m925a1

    Mine is the m750 with the shelves. I would like to know more about the heaters, tm #'s? Is the heaters info found in the m750 tm? The tank says mogas only, so appatently not diesel heaters as some have said. No AC in this van.

    m931a2 recovery from Sparta WI.

    I will probably have to open a new thread on that, its been a wild long day. Enroute now, driving m931a2 with m295a1 in tow. 900 miles down 240 to go.
