Why should this contractor be allowed to ship vehicles

They are supposedly fixed, for the time being. Will the U.S. Transportation Command continue to spot check them over the next year and reach out to service members and spouses to get the bottom line truth of timelines the vehicles were shipped and received. I guess they get a second chance and if they mess it up again, maybe they will not give them another contract.

Private-vehicle shipper: 'We're ready to go'

The contractor in charge of shipping service members' privately owned vehicles to and from overseas has taken steps – and is checking and re-checking their processes – to avoid a repeat of last year's problems that resulted in large numbers of delays for troops' vehicles.

I think that US Transportation Command believes that it is cheaper to retain the contractor then re-bid the work especially with the PCS season fast approaching. What the article does not say is this is a re-bid or an option year.
