Frequently asked questions

What is an item release form?

It is the platform or seller record authorizing removal after applicable payment and clearance steps.

Can a carrier collect government surplus without the buyer?

Only when the selling platform accepts the buyer's transporter authorization and release documentation.

Are removal deadlines universal?

No. Use the deadline and policy attached to the actual listing and seller.

Can military-surplus vehicles use standard auto transport?

Only when dimensions, weight, roadworthiness, loading and legal movement requirements fit the carrier's equipment and authority.
