I don't think they let you do that anymore. |
They may not..I'm sure someone finally figured that people were doing that..I moved from Hunter Airfield to Campbell and I moved myself and was able to leverage the army into about 1400 more than what it cost me to move..whenever I weighed the truck in after I loaded I was able to get a pallet with about 800 pounds of feed sacks on it so my total weight went up to my max alloted amount..then unloaded the extra weight and made the trip
