Military Moves
Military Moves Services
Permanent Change of Station, or a PCS move, is a big, yet common step in military life. One duty station is to be changed by another one, so the whole family of the military member needs to be relocated. Even though this process can be really tiring and stressful, it is expected and common for every military family. That’s why those of you who are experiencing the military move for the first time, may feel anxious about it. For that reason, US Moving Enterprise offer you a simple guide on how to handle the move, choose the right military movers and land to your new destination as smoothly as possible.
What types of PCS moves are there?
- 1. Government-handled move. During this process, your assigned Traffic Management Office (TMO) will organize everything for you. They will pick up your information, find a moving company that will do everything, from packing, shipping and unpacking at your new destination.
- 2. Personally Procured Move (PPM) – this process is the most common. Here you can do everything by yourself, choose our New York military moving companies, pack, ship and unpack. The government will, however, pay as much as 95% of the costs.
- 3. Mixed move – this type of the move, a mix of the previous two, where part of your things are handled by the government, and the other part you can move by yourself.
Be aware that with all the moves paid by the government, there are some weight restrictions. So you should check before packing what would be the limit since you need to pay everything that exceeds that amount/weight. For any other advise feel free to contact us.
You can make sure we will be able to meet all your expectations no matter what type of PCS move you need.
Personally procured move (PPM)
In this guide, we will focus on the move you can handle yourself since there you need the most help. The biggest part of the expenses will be paid by the government, so be sure to get and keep all the receipts. The costs that will be paid after you finish the moving process are:
- Renting a truck (or trucks)
- moving boxes and all the other packing material and supplies
- tolls
- weight costs and charges
Remember: the government will reimburse you after a couple of weeks after you submit all the documents required. You need to have all the receipts and weigh your moving vehicle before and after packing the goods, so you can get the exact weight of your things.
