Military Moving Company in High Point

If your lease ends before housing becomes available, you can load your belongings once. We pick up the container and store it securely until you have a confirmed delivery date. Items remain in the same container from start to finish, reducing handling and eliminating the need to move belongings between trucks and separate storage containers.

Personally Procured Moves

A Personally Procured Move (PPM), also called a DIY move, is managed by the service member instead of a mover arranged by the Department of War. The move requires official orders and approval from the Transportation Office before it begins. Approved options can include a rental truck or trailer, commercial moving van service, portable moving containers, or a personal vehicle.

Under a Member-Elected PPM, payment is 100% of the Government Constructed Cost, which is the amount the government calculates for the authorized move. Payment is based on verified transported weight up to the service member’s household-goods entitlement. Go Mini's of Winston-Salem provides container delivery, transport, and storage but doesn’t approve PPM arrangements or administer reimbursement.

Weight Allowances & Certified Weight Tickets

The rank shown on a service member’s orders determines the household-goods weight allowance. Weight above that authorized allowance is charged to the service member after delivery, so accurate documentation matters when completing a PPM.

Household-goods weight is normally established with certified weight tickets from a public weigh master or government scale. As of 2026, the claim for full payment of the PPM allowance is due within 45 days after the move is complete. Service members should retain their orders, approvals, certified weight tickets, and other required records for submission.

How the Military Moving Process Works

Our process covers container delivery, self-directed packing, transport, and secure storage when needed.

Scheduling & Container Delivery

We offer 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot containers, subject to availability. Our 20-foot container provides up to 25% more storage space than competitors’ largest containers. We deliver the selected container to your driveway or another approved parking area so you can begin packing on your schedule.

Packing & On-Site Use

Containers sit at ground level, making them easier to load. Families can pack in the evenings or over multiple weekends with less disruption to their daily routines. If more time is needed, rental extensions may be available depending on capacity.

Transport & Storage Options

When loading is complete, we pick up the container and either deliver it to the next location or store it at a secure facility. If housing is delayed, the container remains stored until a confirmed move-in date is established. The same container is delivered to the new home, maintaining continuity throughout the move.

Why Military Families Use Container-Based Moving

Containers eliminate high truck ramps and reduce repeated lifting. Furniture and boxes are handled fewer times, which can lower the risk of damage. For families managing moves with limited help, this approach often feels more manageable.

Container features include:

• All-steel, powder-coated construction
• A raised floor about eight inches off the ground to reduce bending and help avoid water damage
• Padded wheels and customer-controlled locks
• Tie-down rings for securing belongings inside the container

Pricing is based on clear components such as delivery, rental duration, transport, and storage, which simplifies budgeting and planning. The monthly price doesn’t change if you keep the container longer than planned.

Planning a Military Move in This Area

Moves within the Triad region often require careful timing. Container transport can be scheduled around local housing availability while minimizing unnecessary trips. Confirm driveway size, parking rules, and applicable community guidelines before delivery.

If you’re staying temporarily with family while waiting for housing, a container can serve as primary storage. Your belongings remain loaded until delivery to a long-term residence. Planning how you pack also makes essential items easier to access after arrival.

Helpful packing tips include:

• Pack a clearly labeled “first week” group of boxes near the container door.
• Group boxes by room to make unloading faster.
• Place heavier items toward the back and bottom for stability.
• Keep important documents and medications with you.
