As a military spouse of 18 years, I’ve faced my fair share of moves. Each relocation brings its own set of challenges, but just recently, I’ve discovered a game-changing approach that has transformed my moving experience: the Personally Procured Move (PPM). Stay with me, as I share my recent experience with National Van Lines and explain why a PPM might be the right choice for your next military move.
The PPM Advantage
A Personally Procured Move offers military families greater control and flexibility over their relocation process. Here are some key benefits:
- Control over timing: You set the schedule, allowing for better coordination with your family’s needs.
- Direct oversight: Manage your belongings personally, reducing the risk of damage or loss.
- Flexibility in transportation: Choose your preferred method, whether it’s renting a truck or hiring a moving company.
My Experience with National Van Lines
For our recent PCS, we had some crazy logistics we had to maneuver. Knowing we had concrete dates we had to work within, my family decided to go the PPM route and partner with National Van Lines.
The experience was exceptional for several reasons:
- Military-friendly approach: Their team understood the nuances of military moves
- Efficient packing and loading: The crew was professional, careful, and quick.
- Excellent communication: We were kept informed at every stage of the move.
- Timely delivery: Our items arrived at our new home exactly when promised.
A Patriotic Touch
One aspect that truly stood out was the appearance of the National Van Lines moving truck. The van was absolutely gorgeous, adorned with vibrant red, white, and blue colors that proudly displayed our nation’s flag. As a military family, seeing these patriotic colors rolling up to our home filled me with an overwhelming sense of pride. It was a beautiful reminder of the service and sacrifice that our family and countless others make for our country. This thoughtful detail made our move feel even more special and connected to our military journey.
This level of service and attention to detail that National Van Lines provided during our move, allowed us to settle into our new home quickly. Finding a new routine without delay is vital for our family so that we can plug in a fast at our new duty station.
