Transition time...
Hello all,
I recently moved more than my weight allotment across the entire country. Not wanting to have to pay, I did a dity move (ppm). Lots of fun, that... and after all was said and done, the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Norfolk Household Goods Audit Team Division informed me of some very bad news.
Since I had overloaded one of the trucks I used, they were disallowing the overloaded weight. Basically, "You should have used two trucks. So we're not paying you for the weight that should have been on the second truck." To the tune of about $4k.
They were polite and helpful, just following the rules, etc. They even told me I had the option of submitting a petition to NAVSUP (the entity responsible for the "rule" that's causing this issue) to try to have an exception made, telling me that, paraphrased, "the understanding is that the rule tends to bite people who shouldn't be expected to pay so much for a mistake that's easy to make and often difficult to avoid or even foresee."
My question is, has anyone seen this before? Can anyone give me some pointers on how to go about making this petition to NAVSUP? Is there an instruction I can read? Any help is much appreciated.
