On a Personally Procured Move, you hire any mover you choose and submit your receipts, weight tickets, and inventory to your transportation office for reimbursement. We give you a clear itemized invoice and certified weight tickets so your paperwork is straightforward. The DOD reimburses up to 100% of what a government-contracted mover would have cost, so a well-priced local move can often put money back in your pocket.

Yes. PCS orders rarely give you the calendar you want, so we keep room in the schedule for short-notice moves and we run crews seven days a week including weekends and after-hours when needed. Call us as early as you can after orders drop and we'll work back from your report-no-later-than date.

Yes. We provide a certified empty-and-loaded weight ticket from a certified scale, plus a fully itemized invoice with hours worked, crew size, and transportation costs. That's what your transportation office needs to process your PPM reimbursement claim.

Locally we serve service members and families assigned to Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile at the Brookley Aeroplex, as well as Reserve and National Guard units at Brookley. Long-distance we regularly handle moves to and from NAS Whiting Field and NAS Pensacola in the Florida panhandle, plus Eglin, Hurlburt Field, and Tyndall Air Force Base further east. If your duty station isn't on that list, we can almost certainly still help — just ask.

Yes — gun safes, large TVs, treadmills, pianos, and heavy outdoor equipment are routine for us. We bring the right dollies, straps, and crew size to move heavy items safely. The only thing we don't transport is loose firearms and ammunition — we recommend you transport those yourself per federal and state rules. Same goes for cash, jewelry, and important documents (passports, orders, medical records).

Yes. We handle long-distance and out-of-state PCS moves regularly, especially across the Gulf Coast (FL, MS, LA, GA) and farther up the East Coast. We provide one crew, one truck, and one point of contact from origin to destination — no broker hand-offs. Give us your origin and destination addresses and we'll quote the full move.

PCS dates shift constantly and we plan for it. If your orders push out or move up, call us as soon as you know and we'll reschedule with no penalty as long as it's before the move day. Our goal is to be the easiest part of your PCS, not another moving piece you have to manage.
