Serving every base in San Diego County

Our crews move service members and families around Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Coronado and NAS North Island, MCAS Miramar, MCRD San Diego, and Camp Pendleton, plus the off-base neighborhoods where military families actually live: Chula Vista, Santee, Point Loma, Oceanside, and everywhere between.

Base access is on us to get right. Every installation has its own rules for sponsoring a commercial crew and truck, and because our movers are background-checked, uniformed employees with a registered company vehicle, the sponsorship paperwork is straightforward. We coordinate the details with you before move day so nobody is stuck at a gate.

PPM moves: paperwork that gets you paid

On a personally procured move, formerly called a DITY move, you arrange the move yourself and the government reimburses you based on the weight moved and what it would have paid to move it. Hiring a licensed local crew instead of wrestling a rental truck can make real financial sense, but only if your paperwork is airtight.

We support that: itemized invoices with the detail finance offices expect, help arranging certified scale weight tickets for empty and loaded weights, and a licensed operation behind it all, CAL T-192729, USDOT 3801918, BBB A+ rated. Since 2008 we have run 25,120+ moves, and a healthy share of them started with a set of orders.

FAQ

Military Moving questions, answered.

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, plus local moves on and off base, housing-to-housing shuffles, and moves the government is not paying for.
How do weight tickets work if I hire you for a PPM?
Reimbursement is based on documented weight, so you need certified scale tickets showing empty and loaded weights. We help arrange the weighing at a certified scale near your route and provide an itemized invoice, so your packet to finance is complete.
Can your crew get into base housing?
Yes, with coordination. Each installation has its own process for sponsoring a commercial mover through the gate, usually involving the crew roster and vehicle information submitted ahead of time. Tell us your base when you book and we will walk through the steps together.
My orders changed. What happens to my move date?
We move it. Orders change and housing dates slip; that is the nature of a PCS, and we do not punish you for it. Call as soon as you know and we will reschedule to the new date without drama.
Do you offer a military discount?
We offer active-duty pricing, and you just need to mention your status when booking. Every quote is hourly with fuel itemized up front, so you can compare our real number against your PPM reimbursement estimate honestly.
How early should I book during PCS season?
Call as soon as you have orders in hand. May through August is peak season in San Diego, and the good dates around the 15th and month-end go first. Off-peak, a week or two of notice is usually plenty.
