[Forest Service Employee's Claim for Reimbursement for Shipment of Privately Owned Vehicle]

A Forest Service employee claimed reimbursement for the cost of shipping his privately owned vehicle from his duty station to his former spouse's residence. GAO held that the claimant was not entitled to reimbursement for the cost of shipping the vehicle, since it was not primarily for use as personal transportation contributing to his job effectiveness. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
