We're constantly seeking the best resources to help make your PPM/DITY move as profitable and successful as possible. The moving industry changes often — carriers merge, discount programs come and go, and pricing shifts with fuel and demand — so treat any company-specific quote or discount as something to verify directly with the provider, not a guarantee.
Options worth comparing when you request quotes:
- Rental trucks (e.g. Penske, Budget, U-Haul) — you drive, you save the most, but it's the most physical work.
- "You-Pack, We-Drive" trailers/containers (e.g. U-Pack, PODS) — a company drops off a trailer or container, you load it, they drive or ship it.
- Full-service movers — a crew packs, loads, drives, and unloads for you, for a share of the profit potential.
Ask every company you call whether they currently offer a military discount — many do, but the amount and terms change often enough that we won't quote specific numbers here.
Helpful Hints
- Always get at least three quotes before settling on a particular option or company.
- Make sure you understand the full PPM/DITY process before committing to any purchase.
- Visit your local TMO/JPPSO before committing to any expenditures — they can tell you what will and won't be reimbursed.
