Gov't Moving your POV

[PropStop]

Has anyone had their POV moved by the Gov? If so, did you have to pick up your car at some location far away from your actual destination? I'm having my car moved to Corpus but they will only move it as far as Dallas, which is actually a long damn ways from Corpus and horribly inconvenient to get to. I was wondering if I'd get paid to go pick it up or if i have to eat that cost. the folks at TMO are about as useless as can be on this one...

There are only a handful of shipping locations and Dallas being the closest to Corpus that is where it goes. You can be reimbursed for picking it up, not including per diem.

When I went overseas I had my car stored by the Gov and they paid me mileage to get it to the shipping point. They said they would have someone pick it up and deliver it but I chose to drive it from Whidbey to Tacoma where they put it on a boat to the storage warehouse in California somewhere. When I got back they paid me mileage from pick up point to next duty station. You should get paid regular mileage to get it from Dallas to Corpus. There are a lot of rules and allowances for shipping POV's, look up the federal travel regulations for most current info - www.gsa.gov/ftr.
