Military Moving in Twin Falls
Portable Storage Containers Built for PCS Moves
Go Mini's of Twin Falls gives military families a practical alternative to government-contracted movers: a portable storage container delivered to your door, loaded on your schedule, and transported when you’re ready. Whether you’re PCSing into the Twin Falls area or heading out, our container model is built around the realities of military relocation, not a standard residential moving calendar. We serve Twin Falls and the surrounding Magic Valley counties as a locally owned operation, so when you call, you reach our team directly.
If you’re pursuing a Personally Procured Move (PPM), also called a DITY move, a Go Mini’s portable storage container can be a cost-effective tool. Get a free quote online or call (208) 759-4810 to check availability and container sizing.
How the PPM (DITY Move) Allowance Works & Where We Fit
A Personally Procured Move allows military families to manage their own relocation rather than using a government-contracted mover. The government reimburses PPM families up to 100% of what it would have cost to hire a government contractor. When a family completes the move for less than that estimate, they may keep the difference. This makes cost control a direct financial benefit.
Portable storage containers fit naturally into this model. Because Go Mini's of Twin Falls handles delivery and transport while you handle loading, costs can be more predictable than coordinating a crew-based move. Our flexible rental periods mean you’re only paying for the time you actually need, which can help keep total PPM costs below the government estimate. Before booking, confirm your PPM eligibility and documentation requirements with your installation’s transportation office.
Why Military Families Choose Portable Containers for PCS Moves
PCS timelines rarely cooperate. Move-out and move-in dates don’t always align, orders arrive with short notice, and duty obligations don’t pause for packing days. A portable container addresses all three.
Self-Paced Loading
Once we deliver the container to your current address, it stays there while you load across as many days as you need. You’re not racing a moving crew’s schedule or trying to pack a household in a single afternoon between base check-out requirements and school transitions.
Housing Gap Storage
When new housing isn’t ready at the destination, your loaded container stays in secure storage at our facility until you give the word. No scramble to arrange temporary storage separately or accept an arbitrary delivery date.
Ground-Level Loading
Our containers sit at ground level. No ramp or lift is required. For families loading furniture, appliances, and household goods without a crew, that can make a real difference.
Three Container Sizes
We offer 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot containers to match different household volumes. Our local team can help you identify the right size based on what you’re moving.
Belongings loaded into a Go Mini’s container travel in that same container to the destination, reducing transfers and handling points along the way.

The Go Mini’s Military Move Process
Three straightforward steps, scoped to what we actually do.
Step 1: Book Your Container
Choose a container size and schedule delivery. If you’re not sure which size fits your household, our local team can help you review the options. Confirming delivery access at both your origin and destination addresses helps avoid scheduling delays, especially in housing areas with placement restrictions.
Step 2: Load on Your Timeline
The container sits at your address while you pack. There’s no moving-day deadline and no crew waiting. Load steadily across days or weeks to fit around duty hours and base check-out obligations.
Step 3: We Handle Transport
When you’re ready, we pick up the loaded container and deliver it to your new address. If housing isn’t ready, we hold it in secure storage until you confirm the destination. For cross-country PCS moves, ask about our MINI Miles program for long-distance container transport.
