Military relocations often come with unique challenges, including strict timelines and government regulations. Many moving companies specialize in handling Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves and have experience navigating military-specific requirements, such as complying with government-provided guidelines and accommodating short notice. Furthermore, qualified military moving companies, according to Move.org, “partner with the military on moves and are approved by the General Services Administration (GSA), so they know how to handle your needs.” Experienced movers also understand the importance of timely delivery and transparent communication throughout the relocation process.

At Triangle Movers Inc., we pride ourselves on our extensive experience with military moves. Our team in Hudson Valley is well-versed in meeting government relocation regulations and requirements, ensuring all points of your move are managed with precision and remain transparent. “Being located only 15 miles from West Point has allowed us to help countless service members navigate their PCS move with ease,” says our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

For military personnel, moving companies typically provide a range of services. These services give you the flexibility you deserve when conducting a Personal Procurement move (PPM). Military moving experts offer services such as loading and unloading, transportation, packing, and furniture disassembly and reassembly. Many military movers also offer specialized services such as vehicle shipping, handling of personal firearms, and secure storage options for items not immediately needed. “From help with packing and loading to shipping and delivery, hiring a professional mover will allow you to focus on moving your family,” Move.org reiterates. These detailed solutions aim to ease the stress of relocating and accommodate the complexities of military moves.

Triangle Movers Inc. offers comprehensive services tailored to military relocations. From expertly packing your household goods to providing secure storage and vehicle transportation, we cover all aspects of your move. Our team understands the complex needs of service members, and each of us works diligently to provide a smooth and stress-free experience. “Military moves are meant to be complicated, which is why we work to simplify the process by offering a variety of services,” affirms our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Not all moving companies are authorized to handle military relocations. Movers that do must meet specific Department of Defense (DoD) standards to qualify for military moving services. “All movers are supposed to pass a background check by their employer before being put on a job,” Military.com highlights, “The Defense Department provides bases with general guidance on criminal background check rules.” Without these strict rules and regulations, military families are more likely to run into logistical and legal issues with their mover.

Triangle Movers Inc. is proud to be a DoD-approved moving company, meeting all necessary qualifications to assist military families. Our team adheres to strict standards and protocols to ensure your belongings are safeguarded and transported efficiently, whether your move is domestic or international. “We have been providing high-quality US military moving services since 1996,” our owner, Jack Eschbacher, states.

Moving abroad requires careful planning and coordination. Moving companies that conduct international moves must be contracted by the military to provide overseas military relocation services. Those who are authorized work with the DoD (Department of Defense), Defense Property System (DPS), and Transportation Office (TO) to manage customs regulations, international shipping requirements, and timelines to ensure belongings arrive safely at the destination. Since there are so many parties involved in an OCONUS move, Move.org advises, “Be clear about which shipment will arrive via air and sea so that each shipment can be inventoried and weighed correctly.” While contracted by the government, military movers have extensive experience in streamlining the moving process and providing expert end-to-end support for service members. 

At Triangle Movers Inc., we specialize in the complexities of overseas military moves. We work with the government to ensure a seamless international transition. From navigating customs paperwork to coordinating shipping schedules, we are capable of handling every aspect of your relocation with expert coordination from the US government. “We have three decades worth of experience partnering with government agencies to help service members with their international moves,” says our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Some military moving companies provide emergency relocation services. This type of military move is different from a Personal Procurement Move (PPM) due to limited time and availability. It is called a HHG move, also known as a Household Goods move. “A HHG move is when the government schedules a mover to pack/unpack and ship all of your items,” Military OneSource defines. HHG moves prioritize expedited services and flexible scheduling to accommodate short-notice relocations. This type of move is essential for ensuring a smooth transition when you’re on a tight schedule.

Triangle Movers Inc. understands the demands of military life and is committed to supporting last-minute moves. Our team is prepared to handle emergency relocations with speed and efficiency, providing the flexibility you need when faced with Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or temporary duty (TYD) orders. “Our team is trained to balance speed with care, ensuring that your military move is not just swift but also secure,” emphasizes our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Protecting belongings during a move is a top priority, especially for military families. Movers are required to offer one of three main moving valuation options to help cover the cost of any damaged items during transit. These three main forms of insurance coverage are called Released Value Protection, Full-Value Protection, and Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration.

• Released Value Protection (Limited Liability Coverage) is a basic form of coverage that comes at no additional cost. With this plan, “You will receive $0.30 per pound per item for intrastate moves and $0.60 per pound per item for interstate moves,” MoveBuddha highlights. While this option is the more economical choice, it does pose a lot of limitations.
• Full Value Protection is the more comprehensive option that gives you full coverage for any lost or damaged possessions. Depending on your preference, this plan will cover the price of replacing or repairing items or the amount to reimburse you for them if they’re irreplaceable. However, it is important to keep in mind that Full Value Protection comes at an additional cost. 
• Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration applies to high-value items such as artworks, antiques, and jewelry. Each individual possession is covered separately and receives special attention because of its material worth. Typically, the value threshold for these items is declared at $100 per pound. While Items of Extraordinary Value Declaration is its form of coverage, it is an extension of Full Value Protection and only applies to specific items.

At Triangle Movers Inc., we offer a few forms of insurance coverage in the rare case that one or more of your possessions is lost or damaged.  From limited liability coverage to full-value protection, we help you select the right plan to ensure your items are protected throughout the relocation process. “As an experienced military moving company, offering quality insurance plans is part of our commitment to protecting you and your belongings,” explains our owner, Jack Eschbacher.

Navigating the paperwork for military reimbursements or claims can be challenging. For service members who have been approved for a Personal Proocument Move (PPM), at the end of your move, you will receive a 95% reimbursement from the government. Many moving companies authorized to conduct military moves offer assistance with preparing the necessary documentation and ensuring service members receive proper compensation for their relocation expenses. This includes providing you with the resources to fill a claim. “The first step in initiating a claim is to give your [mover] a written notice listing all the missing or damaged items for which you intend to file a claim,” says Military OneSource. The company should outline this kind of information during the initial stages of your move.  

Triangle Movers Inc. is dedicated to making your military move as stress-free as possible. We assist with the paperwork needed for government reimbursements and claims, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. “Our team is committed to helping you through the process of filling claims and are happy to answer any of your questions along the way.” our owner, Jack Eschbacher, explains.
