Portable Storage Containers for PCS Moves & Military Relocations
When PCS orders arrive, Johnston County military families need a moving solution that fits their timeline, not the other way around. Go Mini's of Goldsboro delivers portable storage containers directly to your door, lets you load at your own pace, then picks up and stores the container securely off-site or transports it to your next location. That full-service model, from first delivery to final redelivery, is built for the way military families actually move.

Why Military Families Choose Go Mini's of Goldsboro
PCS orders come with fixed reporting dates and little room for logistical delays. Our door-to-door service is built around that reality. We deliver the container when you’re ready, you load on your own schedule, and we handle the rest. No coordinating with multiple vendors, no pressure to finish by a carrier’s deadline.
We offer a range of container sizes to fit moves of any scale, whether you’re clearing out a one-bedroom apartment near Smithfield or a full family home in Clayton. Every container comes equipped with advanced security features to help keep your household goods protected throughout the process. Our team is available to walk you through sizing, scheduling, and any other questions, and our competitive pricing keeps portable storage accessible for families working within a military move budget.
A Locally Owned Business Built Around Your Move
Go Mini's of Goldsboro is locally owned and operated, which means you’re working with people who know Johnston County and are invested in supporting your move. Our containers sit ground-level, so loading and unloading doesn’t require a ramp or extra equipment. Padded wheels protect your driveway and property from damage during placement and pickup.
Flexible rental periods mean you keep the container as long as your move requires. If your new home isn’t ready when you arrive, or if your reporting date shifts, you won’t face pressure to return the container on an arbitrary deadline. That adaptability matters when deployment schedules and temporary lodging gaps make military relocation timelines unpredictable.
Johnston County’s Role in Military Relocation
Johnston County sits at the crossroads of I-95 and I-40, making it one of the most accessible counties in the region for families connected to multiple military installations. Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, home to the 4th Fighter Wing and 916th Air Refueling Wing, is located in neighboring Wayne County and draws many families who choose to live in Johnston County towns like Clayton and Smithfield. The appeal is real: Johnston County offers proximity to Raleigh amenities, a range of off-base housing options, and a school district that includes a Military Family Liaison at Smithfield-Selma High School to support students through transitions.
Fort Bragg, located near Fayetteville in Cumberland County, connects to Johnston County through the I-95 corridor. Families rotating between installations, or arriving in the area for the first time, often find that Johnston County can put them in a practical geographic position for a first home base.
How the Process Works
Getting started is straightforward. We deliver the container directly to your Johnston County address, and you load it at whatever pace your schedule allows. When you’re done, we pick it up and either transport it to your next location or store it securely at our off-site facility until you need it delivered again. Your belongings stay protected and out of the way while you handle everything else.
That last step matters more than it might seem. A temporary lodging gap between homes, or a delay in base housing availability, can leave a family with a container full of household goods and nowhere to put them. Our secure off-site storage can bridge that gap without requiring you to scramble for other arrangements.

Understanding Military Move Types
A Permanent Change of Station, or PCS, is a military-directed relocation to a new duty station. Orders typically arrive 60 or more days before the move date, with coordination handled through the base Transportation Management Office and the Defense Personal Property Program. Household goods weight entitlements vary by rank and dependent status, which affects how much a service member can ship through government-contracted carriers.
A Personally Procured Move (PPM), also called a DITY move, gives the service member the option to arrange their own transportation instead of using a government carrier. Reimbursement is based on what the government estimates it would have cost to move the same weight, and if your actual costs come in lower, you keep the difference. This approach gives families more control over timing and handling, and portable storage containers fit naturally into a PPM because you control the loading, the timeline, and the pace of the move.

Go Mini has been the easiest and best
Go Mini has been the easiest and best experience I've had this year!! I've been dealing with plumbers, electricians, pool companies, etc. I actually dreaded calling Go Mini not knowing what I would deal with, but I can honestly say it was a pleasure and I would highly recommend. They were here when they said they would be and picked up when they scheduled. That means a lot when you have to get off work to meet people.

Premier Restoration Services*
We use Go Mini's on a regular basis. Great company and staff. We are a mitigation company that runs into large losses all the time; these types of jobs require onsite storage. There has not been one time I was told no on any request. They get it done! The turnover time is really something amazing. We are more than satisfied with Go Mini's.

Great people
We had the container in the driveway way for about 8 months (plan was for 1, 2 at the most). Each month? My extension call was met with “Yes, sir, just let us know if we can help.” Great people.

Go Mini Was Less Expensive and Much Better Service
I recently had the opportunity to use the container moving services of a company called Go Mini, and it was very successful. For the first part of the move I used one of the big, brand name companies, which was costly and offered little flexibility in terms of delivery times—5–7 days is the best they could do. But Go Mini was less expensive and much better service: 4 days, point to point with very accommodating scheduling. That's good, but even better are the people: from the regional manager, Ben, to the office staff, Luisa, and finally the driver, Scott; people like Scott are the real face of the company interacting with the customer: pleasant, friendly, and in direct phone contact to ensure he met my schedule requirements. Made this tough relocation challenge successful.
