| | Member on PCS from San Diego, CA to Washington, DC (2,595 miles).
Member is 0-6 with a weight allowance of 18,000 lbs.
Member transports HHG weighing 12,000 lbs. (net less 10%) and a boat (no trailer) weighing 20,000 lbs.
The lowest usable applicable Government Bill of Lading (GBL) rate (MTMC's D-X or discount rate plus the MaxPac rate) for HHG transportation of 18,000 lbs. between authorized points is $69.65/cwt.
The MTMC one-time-only (OTO) rate for movement of boat between authorized points is $5,000. |
