Military Moving Services in San Diego
Relocating as a military family is tough. Orders can arrive with little notice, and moving on base or across the country takes time and energy. At Soco Moves, we respect your service and want to make your move easier. We do not contract with the U.S. military. Instead, we offer private moving services that support military families who are relocating on their own or using a Personally Procured Move (PPM).
What Is a PPM and Why Choose One?
A Personally Procured Move is a program that lets service members move themselves rather than using government‑assigned movers. Military.com explains that a PPM gives you more control over your belongings and timing (military.com). Many families also choose a PPM because they can earn money if they spend less than the government’s allowance (blog-brigade.militaryonesource.mil). Military spouses often prefer to pack and handle valuable items themselves to reduce the risk of damage or loss (milhousingnetwork.com). While you handle the paperwork and reimbursement through your Personal Property Office, Soco Moves can do the heavy lifting so you can focus on your family!
Why Use Soco Moves for Your Military Relocation?
Flexible Services
We offer full household moves, single‑item moves and labor‑only help. Whether you want us to pack everything or simply load your own truck, we’ll adapt to your needs.
Careful Handling
Our trained crews treat your possessions as if they were their own. We use sturdy packing materials and secure loading methods to help protect your goods from damage.
Local Knowledge
We’re based in San Diego and know the area well. This helps us navigate bases and neighborhoods efficiently so your move stays on schedule.
Convenient Scheduling
We provide same‑day or next‑day service when available. Let us know your timeline, and we’ll do our best to work around your PCS date.
Transparent Pricing
Because we are not part of the government moving system, you pay us directly. You may be able to claim reimbursement for these costs under a PPM, but you must verify details with your Personal Property Office.
