Military Moving in Evansville
Portable Storage Containers for PCS Moves & PPM Relocations
A Permanent Change of Station move involves more moving parts than most people want to deal with at once: shifting orders, housing gaps, weight ticket documentation, and a timeline that rarely lines up cleanly. Go Mini's of Evansville is a locally owned portable storage provider that delivers containers directly to service members in Evansville and the surrounding area. We handle the drop-off and transport so you can manage your own move on your schedule, without coordinating around a moving crew’s calendar.
For service members conducting a Personally Procured Move (PPM), also called a DITY move, that flexibility matters financially. A PPM lets you arrange your own relocation and receive government reimbursement up to what a contracted mover would have cost. If you keep your total costs below that reimbursement estimate, you may be able to keep the difference. Portable storage containers are an approved PPM method, and our pricing includes no hidden fees, mileage charges, tolls, fuel costs, or added insurance charges.
Our containers are delivered ground-level, so loading and unloading doesn’t require ramps or lifts. Padded wheels protect driveways and surrounding surfaces. Weather-resistant, ventilated construction reduces the moisture and humidity that contribute to mold and mildew during longer storage periods.
We offer three container sizes: 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot to match partial moves and full household goods shipments. Whether you’re moving a single room or everything in the house, there’s an option that fits your weight allowance and space needs. PCS timelines shift, and when orders change after a container is already loaded, we can adjust delivery or hold the container at our secure facility until you’re ready. Rental periods are flexible with no pressure to return the container before you actually need to.
Features that support a military move:
Three container sizes to accommodate partial or full HHG shipments
Ground-level loading with no ramps or lifts required
Secure locking systems and durable, weather-resistant construction
Flexible rental periods with no deadline pressure if orders change
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees, tolls, mileage charges, or insurance add-ons
Door-to-door delivery and pickup scheduled around your timeline
Service members can also use a partial PPM, combining a portable storage container with a government-contracted HHG shipment to split their weight allowance. That means you can move high-priority items on your own schedule while the government handles the rest.
Local Service in Evansville for Guard & Reserve Members
Evansville is home to the Evansville Armory, which supports Indiana Army National Guard operations, and the Evansville Armed Forces Reserve Center, home to Army Reserve units including the 380th Quartermaster Battalion. Service members attached to or transitioning through these installations often need storage during housing gaps, deployment preparation, or post-deployment resettlement. We serve Evansville and the surrounding counties of Warrick, Dubois, and Gibson.
As a locally owned operation, our team knows the neighborhood layouts, access points, and placement considerations throughout the area. Some residential communities and base-adjacent housing areas have specific requirements for container placement. That local familiarity helps us coordinate delivery without the delays that can come from working through a regional dispatch center that doesn’t know the area.
PCS Move Mechanics and How Containers Fit Official Timelines
Reporting dates, housing availability, and travel schedules don’t always align. When there’s a gap between leaving your current location and taking possession of housing at the new duty station, we can hold your loaded container at our secure facility and deliver it when you’re ready. You don’t have to move twice.
A few practical notes for service members using a portable storage container for a PPM:
Weight tickets are required for government reimbursement. You’ll need certified empty and full weight tickets for the conveyance used to transport your household goods. Coordinate with your installation transportation office to confirm the exact documentation process and requirements for your branch of service.
Essential documents, including PCS orders, identification, medical records, and housing paperwork, should travel with you, not inside the container.
Partial PPM option lets you split your weight allowance between a self-managed container and a government-contracted HHG shipment if you don’t want to move everything yourself.
How the Process Works
Using Go Mini's for a military move in Evansville comes down to three straightforward steps.
Book Your Container: Call our local Evansville team at (812) 567-0913 or use the online booking system at gominis.com. We can help you choose the right container size based on what you’re moving.
Pack at Your Own Pace: The container is delivered to your location and stays there as long as you need it. Load it on your own schedule, organized the way you want, without working around a crew’s arrival window.
We Deliver to Your New Doorstep: When you’re ready, call us. We transport the container to your new location or hold it at our secure facility until a delivery date is confirmed. If orders change after the container is already loaded, we can adjust.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes a Portable Storage Container Different From a Traditional Moving Company for a Military Move?
With a portable storage container, the container comes to you and stays until you’re done loading: no moving crew schedule to work around and no fixed deadline. For service members managing a PPM, that also means you control the process and the documentation, which is central to seeking reimbursement.
Can My Moving Date Change If Deployment Plans Shift?
Yes. We can adjust pickup, transport, and delivery dates to align with updated orders or timelines. If the container is already loaded when things change, we’ll hold it at our secure facility until you’re ready for delivery at the new location.
How Are My Belongings Kept Secure in the Container?
Containers are built with durable construction, secure locking systems, and weather-resistant materials. Ventilated design reduces humidity buildup during longer storage periods, which can help protect belongings from moisture damage.
Which Areas Do You Serve for Military Moves?
We serve Evansville and the surrounding counties of Warrick, Dubois, and Gibson in Indiana. If you’re not sure whether your location is covered, call us at (812) 567-0913.
What Should I Do to Prepare for a Military Move with a Portable Storage Container?
Organize and label items before the container arrives. Separate essentials you’ll need during the transition from household goods going into the container. If you’re conducting a PPM, confirm weight ticket requirements with your installation transportation office before drop-off.
What Is a PPM and How Do You Support It?
A Personally Procured Move (PPM), sometimes called a DITY move, is a military relocation option in which the service member arranges their own move and receives government reimbursement up to the cost of a contracted mover. Portable storage containers are an approved PPM method. We deliver the container, you load it on your own schedule, and you submit your weight tickets and documentation for reimbursement. Our transparent pricing with no hidden fees can make it more straightforward to track your actual move costs.

I would highly recommend both to anyone!
I needed a temporary storage solution while epoxy was being applied to my garage floor. Justin was very easy to work with. His driver Chris took extra care to not damage my freshly sealed driveway during drop off and pick up. I would highly recommend both to anyone who asks.

Doug Hurt
An absolute five out of five
After a few days’ research on moving options in the tri-state area, I found Go Mini's and had the great good fortune to connect with one of their professional planners named Shannon. Over the course of two days and several calls, she maintained a very professional and upbeat approach to problems and a number of logistics challenges. Each time a challenge regarding my pick-up or drop-off came up, Shannon was not only willing but incredibly insightful with problem-solving and resources—not only with her company, but within the industry in the tri-state area. Due to timing, I will not be able to work with them on this move, but I will happily and highly recommend the company and Shannon in particular. Note: My rating is an absolute five out of five for Shannon, and the company.
Laura Spradley
Would Definitely Recommend
The container showed up when they said it would and left when they said it would. Saved me a lot of time and work hauling furniture etc. to a storage facility for our move. Would definitely recommend! Justin was great to work with!
Kevin Moore
The staff has been exceptional
My treasures had to be out in storage after selling my house and then moving closer to my daughter in a neighboring town. This home had to be renovated, and for two years my treasures were to be put in storage. I chose mini pods, as it would be less manpower to put items in at one location and out at another. The staff has been exceptional in customer service. After a golf-size hailstorm, they sent people out to check to make sure all was well with my treasures. Thank you, Justin and Summar, for making this a success and becoming my friends in the process.

We couldn't be any happier
We rented a 16-foot Go Mini from Justin Kline over in Owensboro in early December for a restoration project. Working with Mr. Kline was a wonderful experience. He made the process very easy and quick. He was able to pull up our house on an app and ask me where we wanted it, and after discussing the location, he was able to show me through my phone the exact spot where he was going to have the Go Mini placed. It was delivered in a timely manner and was a huge help in our project. We finished our project Wednesday, and I called Mr. Kline, and he arranged for it to be picked up today, and it was indeed picked up. We couldn’t be any happier with our experience with Go Mini’s and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs them during a moving, restoration, renovation project, etc.

Friendly and professional service
While doing a major home renovation, we needed to move our furniture out of the house. Everyone we talked to at Go Mini’s was so friendly and professional! They were able to deliver a storage unit the same day and worked with us to pick it up when we were finished with it. We’ll definitely use them again!
