Three Container Sizes & Flexible Timing for Military Moves
A portable container gives you more control when duty-station schedules, temporary housing, and move-in dates don’t line up. We deliver the container, you load your household goods at your own pace, and we can arrange transport to a confirmed destination or secure storage until you’re ready for delivery.
Go Mini's of New Orleans, LA serves military customers in Metairie and throughout the surrounding New Orleans area. Our locally owned and operated business offers three container sizes, flexible rental periods, and on-site or off-site storage.
Call (504) 321-7596 or reach out online to discuss your dates, destination, container size, and temporary storage needs.
How Portable Containers Fit a Metairie Military Move
Our process can support a personally procured move (PPM), temporary storage between residences, or another military relocation in which you arrange the movement of household goods. You’re responsible for loading and confirming that the service meets your military requirements.
Arranging your container involves four practical steps:
Select a container size: Choose from three available sizes based on the amount you plan to load.
Confirm placement and delivery: Identify the delivery address, available placement area, and requested date.
Load on your schedule: Keep the container at your location while you organize and load your belongings.
Choose transport or storage: We can arrange transport to a confirmed location or store the loaded container at our secure facility until you request delivery.
Before booking, confirm destination access, timing, and documentation requirements with your military transportation office.
Features That Protect & Organize Household Goods
When you need several days to load or must store belongings between residences, the container itself matters. Our steel containers have smooth interior walls, ventilation, tie-down points, low decks, and padded wheels.
Key features include:
Raised construction: Containers sit eight inches above the ground.
Ground-level loading: Low decks reduce the height needed to carry items into the container.
Padded wheels: The delivery system uses padded wheels to help protect suitable placement surfaces.
Review military and carrier restrictions before loading hazardous materials, perishables, firearms, or other regulated items. Requirements can vary by shipment type and destination.
Flexible Timing When Military Schedules Change
A single-day move isn’t always practical when orders, housing availability, or reporting dates change. Flexible rental periods let you keep the container while you load, while off-site storage keeps it out of the way when there’s a gap between residences.
Because the container comes to your chosen location, you can load without making repeated trips to a separate storage site. Our local pricing doesn’t add hidden fees for mileage, tolls, fuel, or insurance.
A government-arranged household-goods move is scheduled through the military. With a personally procured move, the service member arranges the movement of household items. A partial PPM combines personally arranged transportation with a government-arranged shipment.
Military OneSource states that portable storage containers may be used for a PPM when the delivering company weighs the empty container before drop-off, and the service member submits empty and full weight tickets. This general guidance doesn’t confirm reimbursement for a particular move or establish that every provider can meet the weighing requirements.
Contact your military transportation office for current information about authorization, entitlements, allowable costs, storage coverage, and required documents. Confirm these details before using a portable container for a permanent change of station move.
What to Confirm Before Booking Your Container
Resolve the military requirements and site logistics before choosing your dates. You’ll need to confirm:
Move classification: Determine whether you’re completing a PPM, partial PPM, or government-arranged household-goods move.
Weight documentation: Ask whether empty and full weight tickets are required and who must obtain and submit them.
Container placement: Verify the available space, surface, property permission, and local placement restrictions at each address.
Loading period: Estimate how long you’ll need the container before transport or storage.
Destination access: Confirm that the destination can accommodate delivery and placement.
Temporary storage: Decide whether the container should remain at your location or be stored at our secure facility.
Restricted belongings: Review applicable rules for hazardous materials, perishables, firearms, and other regulated items before loading.

Exactly What Our Festival Was Missing
Go Mini's Storage was so easy to work with and exactly what our festival was missing and needed. We were able to get everything to the festival grounds a couple of days before the fest, which made it so easy to transport everything we needed to bring from our homes. It was also convenient after the festival to store everything.
The owners were professional, courteous, and delivered exactly what they said they would deliver. We are so happy to have Go Mini's Storage as the official storage of the Northshore Beer Festival. Use them for all your storage needs with confidence.
