Barksdale Air Force Base Shipping

Barksdale Air Force Base Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

Barksdale Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base in northwest Louisiana. Its mission is to provide strategic deterrence, global strike, and responsive combat support.

Barksdale Field was established in 1932 and named after World War I aviator and test pilot Lieutenant Eugene Hoy Barksdale. The base is not open to the public. The Global Power Museum, alternatively, houses static displays of numerous aircraft at the base.

A permanent change of station (PCS) to this base entails transporting your personal belongings as well as your vehicle. A-1 Auto Transport can help you ship your vehicle to Barksdale AFB.

Shifting In The CONUS Area

Barksdale Air Force Base is located in the continental United States (CONUS). There are various ways to handle your PCS when shipping to a base in the CONUS area, whether you are shipping household goods or not. You can either let the government handle it or handle it yourself as a personally procured move (PPM) for which you will be reimbursed by the government.

The government will not pay for shipping a military privately owned vehicle (POV) to a base in the CONUS area. However, in some exceptional circumstances, they may. You must check with your transportation officer (TO) to see if you are eligible for this sponsorship.

Full List Of Defense Hauling Services We Offer

Here is the list of the types of POV we ship to military bases:

• Motorcycles
• SUVs
• ATVs
• Trucks
• Vans
• Cars

Armed Services Four-Wheeler Transit

Military car shipping works in the same way as standard auto transport, except that it is only available to active military personnel. If you receive a PCS order and need to have your car moved from one base to another, the government will cover the shipping costs of one car if you are shipping outside the continental United States (OCONUS), but will not cover the hauling costs of your POV to a base within the United States.

If you've been assigned to Barksdale AFB, the government will most likely not sponsor your POV shifting unless you qualify for special circumstances. If you don't qualify for sponsorship, you'll need to decide whether you want to drive to the base yourself or hire a delivery company.

While driving may be an option to save money, it can be a very stressful process, especially if the distance is long. Hiring a shipping company allows you to report to base on time, stress-free, and with your vehicle safely delivered.

Preparing Your Vehicle For Delivery

It is best to have all of the following documentation ready to make the process of moving your car as simple as possible:

• Ownership documentation
• If your vehicle is leased, you must provide a letter authorizing the vehicle's shipping.

Armed Services Two-Wheeler Moving

You can ship your motorcycle to a military base either with your household goods or on its own as a privately owned vehicle (POV). However, because the government does not sponsor POV shipments to military bases in the United States, you will have to handle your move on your own.

Riding your bike to your new base is not recommended because it is unsafe. The best and safest option is to ship your motorcycle through a third-party shipping company such as A-1 Auto Transport.

Every base has its own set of rules regarding motorcycle shipments to the base; you can speak with your TO counselor to ensure that your vehicle complies with these rules. You will also be required to provide certain documents, such as a valid government-issued ID card and proof of ownership.

Preparing Your Bike For Transit

Get your motorcycle ready for shipping by:

• Removing all accessories from the motorbike
• Unplugging or removing batteries
