Re: Shipping A Jeep
Actually Bill like all thing they change, saying things such as that are no
longer allowed in any context and if you do you could be standing at NJP
before the man. And GOD help you if you use any term but the word Solider

Re: Shipping A Jeep
I had a similar situation, made E8 in Cuba orders to Hawaii stuff was packed
and on it's way, then just before departure orders cancelled due to making
CWO rerouted household goods to Clearwater FL new orders. Showed up at
Clearwater Air Staition orders cancelled, new orders to Washington DC USCG
HQ, 3 monts to find a house and the household goods no where to be found, 15
days later household located in Kansas. Four years lated I retired and will
never fly, or move again.

Re: Shipping A Jeep
I'm in Canada, but has my jeep 'railed' from VAncouver to Toronto.
No major problems except for one I created myself! I didn't have time
to drop the hard top and put the soft top in as well as the hard
top....so I stowed the soft top on an angle. Well, as teh train bounced
through the rockies, one end of the bar press against my tailgate and
kept rubbing the sucker.
I guess it really doesn't matter how you ship it....if you're going to
try and sneak some items onboard the jeep, be sure they're secured down!
