Military Dity Moves

Check out our latest question and answer about moving yourself.

We will be moving to a military base and do not know the exact date of the move , i was wondering how many days is it from woodruff, sc to Fort carson, co and also if the date is sooner than the date requested can we change it and have items arrive earlier
from Tasha M. in SC - 9/30/2017

Tasha, We move people on and off of military bases every week and have an excellent program for military dity moves. We can provide you with weight tickets and the documentation that you will need in order for the military to reimburse you for a permanent change of station move. You can count on us transporting your goods approximately 500 miles a day. So it would take 4 or 5 days to get to Colorado. We do have flexibility in our scheduling and can provide service in just about any point in the US in under 72 hours. Obviously, the more notice that we have the easier it is to get you into our trucking schedule and provide excellent service. MovingYourself.com

Do you offer a military discount? Can you do weighing for a DITY military move? Thanks!
from Kristi W. in VA - 8/15/2015

Kristi, We do offer extra coverage for our military customers at no charge. We also can provide you with weight tickets for your DITY move. MovingYourself.com

I stay in military base but I need to go back to California can I move my car and household belonging all at once without moving everything separately?
from Sabrina M. in KY - 7/28/2015

Hi Sabrina, Yes, military moves can ship the car and household all on the same moving truck. There are some restrictions to this that you will need to check with the Traffic Management Officer at your military installation. MovingYourself.com

If I am doing a military move, I am required to provide certified weight tickets, one while the container/truck is empty and one when it has all of my stuff in it. Would your company be able to provide that?
from Courtney S. in KS - 5/29/2015

Hi Courtney, We are well-versed in Military, Dity, and PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moves. Make sure that you tell your relocation coordinator that you are a military customer so that we know to get you certified weight tickets for your reimbursement by the government. Thank you for your service! MovingYourself

My husband is in the navy and we are being relocated from Florida to California. Having a hard time understanding what a dity move consists of. We need to move a small car and a few small items but we were told they will not cover shipping the vehicle. How much will it cost thru you? Thank you
from Crystal S. in FL - 3/29/2015

Crystal, We provide space on moving vans. You provide the loading and unloading. MovingYourself.com will provide the truck, driver, fuel, and door to door transport for a fixed price. For military moves, we provide you with weight tickets so that you can be reimbursed for the weight moved. You will need to check with your Traffic Management Officer about shipping vehicles. We provide weights for the total shipment and cannot differentiate what is car weight and what is furniture weight on the tickets. MovingYourself.com

My fiance is currently living in Ft Carson, Colorado and I'm planning on moving in with him within the next month. He has talked about a DITY move, but because we are not married yet, I'm unsure if we are able to qualify for this. Does anyone know the answer to this?
from Brittany D. in KY - 1/27/2015

Brittany, If you are not married, you will not qualify for the military DITY move program. That is for military members and spouses only. I would recommend having him talk to the base transportation officer and see if they will ship your goods under his name. MovingYourself.com

While my husband is deployed I and while he is gone I would like to move back home with family. The transportation office said they won’t help since I'm responsible for the move. Does this mean I don't qualify for military moves? Also, even though this would be considered a DITY move and transportation said they wouldn't help, is it true I wouldn't get any type of reimbursed?
from LaToya R. in KS - 1/8/2015

LaToya, Those questions are better answered by your MTMC (Military Traffic Management Control) officer. I don't think that they will pay for your DITY move if your spouse (who is the military member) is not moving as well. Being that he is deployed, you might get some special consideration. Again, a question for the transportation office. Good luck, MovingYourself.com

what exactly is on a weight ticket. Do they record how many axles are being weighed
from Brandon Q. in VA - 11/19/2014

Brandon, MovingYourself.com can provide weight tickets for all military DITY moves. The weight ticket has the empty weight of the moving truck and the weight of the moving truck with all of your stuff on it. The military will take the difference an reimburse you for the cost that they would have spent to do a full-service move for you. This is a great program to use for a MovingYourself.com move as the amount of money that they give you is generally much higher than what we charge... So you can actually make money when doing a military move with MovingYourself.com! Call 800-876-6839 and ask for a military move specialist. We have several on staff that can help you with questions about this program. MovingYourself.com

i'm recently married and my spouse i am moving my spouse to my permanent duty station. how can i get reimbursement?
from matt s. in TX - 10/15/2014

You will need to contact your Traffic Management officer as the process varies. MovingYourself.com will provide you with certified weight tickets and receipts that will be needed for that process. MovingYourself.com

I am getting married in November to a marine stationed in Jacksonville NC, I am looking to move down there in December to be with him. Will the military help pay for my move?
from Amanda A. in OH - 9/8/2014

Amanda, You will need to check with your Traffice Management Officer on base. Since you will already be married, they will more than likely have a program to assist you. MovingYourself.com
