PODS and the DITY… not a rap group
During military move season, it is becoming a more common site to see white PODS storage containers sitting in driveways. Base housing and military neighborhoods are filling up, loading up and shipping with the newest tool to make a DITY/PPM move more efficient… PODS.
Military members that do not want to drive those overstuffed rental trucks, dragging their motorcycle or boat behind it, can have their PODS picked up, stored and delivered. The PODS are dropped back off into the new driveway or parking lot when they are ready to receive them into their new home. So, if you’re not going “door to door”, your stuff can wait in the packed PODS for you to find your new home. Perhaps one of the best benefits of the program is that the PODS can sit in the driveway while the packing is done at the individual’s pace.
PODS provides a stress free storage solution for servicemen and women who may be deployed overseas. PODS storage containers provide security and flexibility. Upon returning, PODS will move your moving or storage container to your new base, installation or home.
Here are some tips to ensure that your next Military move goes smoothly with PODS: 1. Every DITY / PPM move requires visiting your Traffic Management Office (TMO) or Joint Personal Property Shipping Office (JPPSO). You estimate the weight of your household goods and they will assign you a Personal Property Entitlement, which is like a budget.
2. Next call PODS and mention you’re in the military. PODS will send your moving container to your door on the day you want it, plus you are provided with a military discount.
3. You load everything at your own pace and control the way it is packed.
4. PODS obtains DITY weight tickets for you when the moving or storage container is picked up. They arrive in the mail about a week later. With PODS, you eliminate the weigh stations, paperwork, and driving - PODS takes care of it for you!
5. PODS can store your stuff for the first month at no extra charge or move you locally or around the US, Canada or Hawaii.
