Military & Corporate Vehicle Shipping | Strong Young Movers

Military & Corporate Vehicle Shipping

We have a soft spot for military moves. If you are serving this country, the least we can do is make sure your car gets to your next duty station without drama. Corporate folks, we have got you too. Here is the rundown.

Military PCS Vehicle Shipping

What Is a PCS Move?

A Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move is when a military service member receives orders to relocate to a new duty station. The military covers certain relocation expenses, and vehicle shipping may be partially or fully reimbursed depending on your orders and the distance of the move.

What the Military Covers

  • CONUS to CONUS: The military typically provides a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) shipping allowance for moves within the continental United States when the distance exceeds 600 miles.
  • OCONUS Moves: For overseas PCS moves, the military will ship one POV at government expense to/from authorized ports. Additional vehicles may be shipped at the service member’s expense.
  • Reimbursement: You may ship with any licensed carrier and submit receipts for reimbursement through your Travel Management Office (TMO) or Personal Property Shipping Office (PPSO).

Military Discounts

Strong Young Movers offers 15% military discounts on all auto transport services for active duty, reserves, National Guard, veterans, and military families. This discount applies to both open and enclosed transport and is available year-round.

Tip for Service Members: Contact your Transportation Management Office (TMO) before booking. They can advise on your specific entitlements, reimbursement procedures, and required documentation. Keep all receipts, the Bill of Lading, and shipping contracts for your travel claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the military pay for vehicle shipping during a PCS move?

For CONUS moves over 600 miles, the military typically provides a POV shipping allowance. For OCONUS moves, the military will ship one privately owned vehicle at government expense. Specific entitlements vary by branch, rank, and orders. Contact your TMO for details on your situation.

Can I get reimbursed if I use a private carrier instead of the military’s preferred shipper?

In most cases, yes. You can ship with any USDOT-licensed carrier and submit receipts for reimbursement through your PPSO. Keep all documentation: the contract, Bill of Lading, receipts, and proof of payment. Reimbursement amounts may be capped at the government rate for the distance.

What volume discounts are available for corporate fleet shipping?

Volume discounts range from 5% for 5-10 vehicles per month up to 25% for 50+ vehicles per month. Enterprise clients shipping 100+ vehicles annually can negotiate custom pricing tiers, dedicated carrier assignments, and service level agreements. Contact our corporate team for a tailored proposal.

How does dealership-to-dealership transport work?

Dealers submit vehicle details (VIN, location, destination), and we assign a carrier from our network. Pickup typically occurs within 1-3 business days for standard requests. We offer consolidated invoicing, VIN-level tracking, and damage resolution support for all dealer accounts.
