What Is A Tampa Military Move?

In the realm of Tampa army moves three primary types exist: Permanent Change of Station (PCS), Personally Procured Moves (PPM), and a fusion of the two. Allow us to shed light on PCS and PPM to help you prepare for your Tampa military move.

PCS Move

A PCS move unfolds when a service member is directed to relocate to a new base at a distance of at least 50 miles, typically under government orders. The government shoulders the expenses of your move, albeit with a prescribed weight limit; any surplus weight may require your contribution. It's essential to verify the weight allowance with your current duty station before the moving day. PCS moves often involve government-contracted movers and can entail extended wait times for item delivery. Our Tampa PCS movers are here to make this stressful time as stress-free as possible.

PPM Move

With a Personally Procured Move (PPM), you take charge of the move, giving you the liberty to select your preferred moving company. As seasoned PPM movers in Tampa, our crew stands ready to guide you through the process and address any inquiries you may have along the way.

You also have the flexibility to choose a combination of PCS and PPM moves.
