The base next door, literally

Gorilla Movers is headquartered in the Miramar industrial district, which makes MCAS Miramar the closest installation to our trucks by a wide margin. Short travel means more of your hourly clock goes to actual moving, and it shows in the written quote, where travel is itemized rather than buried.

Miramar families spread across the neighborhoods we work daily: Mira Mesa and Scripps Ranch to the north, Tierrasanta and the Murphy Canyon military-housing corridor to the south, Poway and Rancho Peñasquitos inland. Whether you are heading into privatized military housing or a Mira Mesa rental, the crew showing up has moved that street before.

For on-base and housing-area moves, we coordinate commercial gate access in advance — background-checked, uniformed employees and a registered company vehicle keep the sponsorship process routine.

PCS in, PCS out, and everything between

Arriving at Miramar? We move families out of temporary lodging and into permanent housing on flexible short notice, because house-hunting timelines rarely cooperate. Departing on orders? The PPM route can pay: we help arrange certified empty and loaded weight tickets, produce the itemized invoice finance expects, and stand behind it with verifiable numbers — CAL T-192729, USDOT 3801918, BBB A+ since 2008.

Between duty stations, our warehouse handles the gap. Padded, sealed-vault, inventoried storage holds a household for a week or a year, minutes from the base, with the same crew completing delivery when your housing is ready.

Scheduled around the flight line

Aviation schedules are their own animal, so we keep ours flexible: early starts before duty, weekend slots, and free rescheduling when orders or housing dates shift. Active-duty pricing applies when you mention your status at booking, every bill is hourly with fuel itemized, and the quote lands in writing within one business hour.

FAQ

MCAS Miramar Moving questions, answered.

How close are you to MCAS Miramar?
Minutes — our warehouse is in the Miramar industrial district near the air station. Short travel means more of the clock goes to your actual move, and travel is itemized in the written quote either way.
Do you handle government-booked PCS moves?
If your PCS is government-arranged, the military assigns the carrier and you do not choose. Where we come in is the PPM option, where you hire your own mover and get reimbursed based on documented weight, plus local moves on and off base, housing-to-housing shuffles, and moves the government is not paying for.
Can you help with PPM weight tickets and paperwork?
Yes. Reimbursement on a personally procured move is based on certified scale weights, empty and loaded. We help arrange the weighing at a certified scale near your route and provide the itemized invoice your finance office expects, backed by a licensed carrier: CAL T-192729, USDOT 3801918.
Do you move families into Murphy Canyon and other military housing areas?
Yes — the Murphy Canyon corridor, Tierrasanta, and the surrounding housing areas are weekly territory. For any on-base or housing-area move we coordinate the commercial gate-access steps with you in advance.
Can you store our household between duty stations?
Yes. Padded, sealed-vault, inventoried storage at our Miramar warehouse — for a week, a month, or a full tour — with the same crew delivering when your housing is ready.
