I need a re-power asap!

OK,,,I should have called the local police and asked them to hold it for me,,I am sure they would have done that but, never even crossed my mind. I was told about a storage place down I-95 at exit 1 and I looked for it. No, I didn't park my truck and walk up and down the hwy to find it, I drove to where the soldier told me it was and even checked at exit 3. The people I talked to at the Pilot, where the soldier said it was, told me there is nothing off exit 1 except the Pilot and the Wilco. When your a Combat Vet with two tours and 8 years of service,,you just don't look at things the way a civilian does. Yes, I am a civilian but I will never look at things as a civilian does again. That being said, is what got me in trouble. I just don't fee I am a threat to anyone, unless they try to harm me so, my mentality is that of an innocent man, and one that feels he has a little more clout on a Military Instillation than a civilian, kind of a foggy thinking yes, I know. I hope some of the other Veteran's can chime in and explain it better than I did.

At any rate,,,I found a driver whose truck is broke down until tomorrow. I flat bedder with 40 years of experience. He was glad to do it and make $300 since he wasn't doing anything all day anyway. He got it done in 3 hrs and my truck and trailer are fine...lol

 

Man,,going to try this for the 3rd time... Having all kinds of problems this week, now my APU is giving me an error while running the AC, been working fine all day and last two days. grrrrrrr

Anyway, I found a driver that was willing to take my truck and trailer to the Navel Base and deliver the load. His truck is down until tomorrow and he seemed like a good person so, he got it done in 3 hrs for $300.00 I am now empty and can find another load to start making money again. This year has sucked for freight and the rates suck as well.

Answering and/or commenting on some of the above posts; I could have lied about the questions I was asked regarding the firearm but, I can't do that so, I didn't. Hiding it in the truck did not make any difference regarding my Integrity. As a Combat Vet with two tours under my belt and 8 years of service, I just don't look at laws, rules and regulations like a regular civilian does. Sure, I am a civilian now but will always be a soldier inside and still keep my skills up, although my physical shape is down more than I would like it but, I digress... I don't see myself as a threat to anyone wearing a uniform and because of my background kind of see myself with a little more clout than a civilian has. Sure, that is not the way to look at it, the Military doesn't look at that way, for the most part. Again, I feel I was treated better than fair, more than a civilian trying to bring a firearm on the base would have been treated anyway. I realize the rules that are in place hell, I used to enforce them but again, I see myself on their side...lol I know, funny right. Well, I hope some of the other vets chime in and can give some better insight to my thinking that I just did.

I appreciate everyone's input and attempted help,,,this thread did just what I had hoped it would... God Bless
