How a Portable Container Fits a PPM Move
A Personally Procured Move (PPM), also known as a DITY move, is a military moving option where the service member manages the relocation rather than relying on a government-contracted mover. The Department of Defense may reimburse a portion of PPM costs, up to what a government-contracted move would have cost, based on official weight documentation and other requirements your branch will outline.
Our process fits that model cleanly. We deliver the container, you load it at your own pace, and we transport it to your new address or into secure storage when you’re ready. There’s no rental truck to return by a deadline and no moving crew to coordinate around an uncertain report date.
Container Features Built for Military Household Moves
Our containers sit low to the ground, so no ramp is required for loading and unloading. That matters when you’re moving furniture and gear without a loading crew. Each container is also ventilated to reduce moisture and humidity and sits eight inches off the ground to help guard against water damage.
More space than the competition: Our containers offer up to 29% more space than PODS, so you can fit more in a single container rather than ordering two.
Transparent pricing: No hidden fees, mileage charges, tolls, fuel costs, or added insurance charges. What we quote is what you pay.
Serving the Military Community in Greene County, Missouri
Greene County has a meaningful military presence. The Armed Forces Reserve Center in Springfield serves U.S. Army Reserve personnel in the region. Missouri Army National Guard aviation units, including detachments of the 3rd Battalion, 238th Aviation Regiment and the 1107th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group, are based at Springfield Airport. A Missouri Recruiting and Retention Battalion detachment is also located in Springfield. For those connected to Fort Leonard Wood, the installation sits roughly 90 miles from Springfield via I-44, about an hour and twenty minutes away.
Families here cycle through PCS moves, deployments, and temporary duty assignments regularly. We’re here to make the container side of that process straightforward.
Choosing the Right Container Size for Your PCS
We offer three container sizes: 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot. A 12-foot container typically suits a one- to two-bedroom household. A 16-foot container works well for two to three bedrooms, and the 20-foot container can handle larger households or moves that include vehicles, outdoor equipment, or workshop items. Our local team can help you figure out which size fits your household goods before you commit.

When Your New Home Isn’t Ready Yet
PCS moves rarely line up with housing availability. Orders can come through before base housing opens up, a lease ends before the new one starts, or a deployment pushes the whole timeline sideways. These gaps are common, and they’re exactly where a flexible container-based approach helps.
Once you’ve loaded your container, you choose what happens next. We can deliver it to your new property when the timing is right, or take it to our secure storage facility and hold it until you’re ready. There’s no fixed return schedule. You can keep the container as long as your situation requires.
"Very polite and ready to place the container wherever you need."

I would HIGHLY recommend Go Mini's
Having never rented a container before, I had a lot of questions. Jaylyn was EXTREMELY helpful, friendly, and walked me through the whole process. It was so easy to schedule drop-off and pick-up. They placed the container exactly where I wanted it. The e-sign contract was fast and easy; they dropped the container the next day (they could have dropped it the same day if I wanted). The container was plenty of space; we got a 16 ft. It was secure, and the lock we purchased from Go Mini's was high quality and secure as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Go Mini's, and if we ever need a container in the future, no doubt we will be repeat customers. Such an easy, no-hassle process. We needed the container due to flooding in a housing unit, so the ease of renting a container was so nice when dealing with the stress of a flood. Thank you, Jaylyn and the Go Mini's team! Did I mention this was so easy? :)
