Personally Procured Move (PPM) Program

Getting ready to move with the Personally Procured Move (PPM) program? This government-backed option gives active military members the chance to plan their own move, handle the details, and get reimbursed for the costs.

Once you receive your new assignment, it's a good idea to start thinking about how you'll get your belongings to your next home by the required date. A little planning now can make the whole process go a lot more smoothly.

You can conduct your PPM by:

Hiring a moving company
Renting portable moving and storage containers
Rent a truck of trailer
Use your own vehicle and trailer
Ship using a small package carrier

Before you start your PPM, make sure you have official orders and get the green light from your Transportation Office. It is recommended to use a mover who is register with the Federal Government. You can find a list of companies on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s website at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move.

Beware of Rogue Movers

The internet has made it easier for these rogue movers to look legitimate and trick people into trusting them. To avoid a stressful and costly experience, it’s important to know the warning signs and stay informed before you hire anyone.

Warning signs:

No physical address
Over the phone estimates
No contract
Very low quote
Demands for cash upfront
