Save More of Your PPM Dollars with Portable Containers

For many military families, understanding moving options can feel overwhelming. At Go Mini's of Columbia, we help you maximize your Personally Procured Move (PPM) allowance while ensuring an efficient relocation process. Our portable moving containers in Columbia offer secure, affordable, and flexible solutions for PCS or temporary duty (TDY) relocations.

We recognize the value of your service and the challenges that come with frequent moves. Our goal is to provide dependable military moving services in Columbia, TN, so you can focus on your responsibilities with less stress.

Understanding Your Moving Options

If your new duty station is 50 miles or more from your last, or if your assignment is longer than 20 weeks, you may qualify for government reimbursement on your PCS move. Military families in Columbia benefit from this policy due to the city’s proximity to Fort Campbell and Arnold Air Force Base.

You typically have two main choices:

• Household Goods Move (HHG): The government pays a Transportation Service Provider (TSP) to pack and transport your belongings. This option is often chosen for a more hands-off relocation.
• Personally Procured Move (PPM): Also known as a “Do It Yourself” move, PPM allows you to handle the relocation independently. The government reimburses the costs, and by using Go Mini's of Columbia, you may keep any funds not spent. Our moving containers make this process affordable and efficient.
