Military Moving in Goldsboro

Portable Storage Containers for Military Relocation

Go Mini's of Goldsboro delivers portable storage containers directly to service members relocating to or from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. You pack on your own schedule, not around a moving crew’s arrival window. As a locally owned and operated business, we understand that PCS timelines shift, housing assignments get delayed, and no two military moves look the same. Our flexible rental periods mean you keep the container as long as you need it, with no pressure to rush.

Military families at Seymour Johnson AFB generally manage one of two move types: a government-arranged Household Goods (HHG) shipment or a Personally Procured Move (PPM), in which the service member arranges their own relocation. On-base housing can carry waitlists during peak PCS season, creating gaps between move-out and move-in dates where temporary storage becomes essential. A portable container delivered to your door bridges that gap without locking you into a rigid schedule.

Portable Storage Services for Military Moves

Our process is straightforward. We deliver a portable storage container to the service member’s home. From there, the family loads at their own pace with no crew required and no scheduling constraints imposed by a third party. When the move is ready to proceed, we pick up the loaded container and transport it to the new location. If the new home isn’t ready yet, the container can be held at our secure off-site storage facility until it is.

We support several military moving situations:

• PCS Moves: Container delivered to your current home, transported to your new duty station when you’re ready.
• Deployment & Unaccompanied Tours: Secure off-site storage of household goods for extended periods while the service member is away.
• Temporary Duty Assignments: Short-term storage that flexes around unpredictable assignment lengths.
• Housing Transition Gaps: On-site or off-site storage for families waiting on an on-base housing assignment or an off-base rental to open up.

Containers come in three sizes: 12 feet, 16 feet, and 20 feet, accommodating moves from a single-bedroom apartment to a full-family home.

Container Features Built for PCS Demands

Military families face real physical and logistical demands during a PCS. Our containers are built to handle both.

• Ground-Level Loading: Positioned just 8 inches off the ground, our containers reduce the strain of loading heavy furniture and help protect against water damage at the base.
• Ventilation System: Each container includes a ventilation system that reduces moisture and humidity, lowering the risk of mold and mildew during extended storage.
• Weather Resistance: Containers are built to withstand the elements, protecting your belongings during transit and while in storage.
• Driveway Protection: Padded wheels keep driveways free from scratches and damage during delivery and pickup.
• Three Size Options: The 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot containers accommodate everything from a one-bedroom apartment to a larger family home.
• Flexible Rental Periods: Keep the container as long as your move requires. There’s no penalty when PCS dates shift.

How the Go Mini’s Process Works

Getting started takes three steps.

• Book Your Container: Reserve online or by phone. Choose the 12-foot, 16-foot, or 20-foot size that fits your household. Planning a few weeks out helps secure your preferred delivery date, though we can often accommodate shorter-notice requests depending on availability.
• Pack at Your Own Pace: We deliver the container to your door. Load on your own timeline and keep it as long as you need. No moving crew, no clock running against you.
• We Deliver to Your New Doorstep: When you’re ready, we pick up the loaded container and deliver it to your new home. If your new home isn’t available yet, we hold the container at our secure off-site storage facility until you say the word.

Military Discounts & PPM Savings

We offer military discounts on portable storage containers.* Contact us for current pricing and discount details. Our pricing is also transparent with no hidden fees, mileage charges, tolls, fuel costs, or insurance add-ons, so you know what you’re paying from the start.

For service members doing a PPM, keeping actual moving costs below the government’s estimated cost for a contracted mover may allow you to keep the difference as additional reimbursement. The U.S. government reimburses PPMs up to 100% of what it would have paid a government-contracted mover. Because our pricing is straightforward and rental periods are flexible, families aren’t locked into a rigid timeline that could help drive up unexpected costs if PCS dates change. Every situation differs, so confirm the specifics with your transportation office.

Serving Seymour Johnson AFB & Wayne County

Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, home of the 4th Fighter Wing and 916th Air Refueling Wing, generates consistent PCS movement throughout the Goldsboro area year-round. We serve military families across Wayne County, including those arriving at or departing from Seymour Johnson AFB.

Families are authorized up to 21 days of Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) during a CONUS move, and many find themselves in temporary quarters while their household goods are in transit or a housing assignment comes through. A portable storage container held at our off-site facility can help keep belongings secure and accessible during that window, without pressuring the family to rush into a permanent address before they’re ready. Deployment and unaccompanied tours create similar demand: a secure, long-term solution for household goods while the service member is away and the family’s living situation remains in flux.
