Fort Jackson Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport
here. Since 1917, the plant has been in Columbia.
Fort Jackson now has the largest and most active initial entry training center in the country. Nearly 60% of all troops join the army each year and moving a vehicle to this station is quite simple for an officer who is familiar with the area. Not everyone, however, has ever shipped a vehicle. That is why A-1 Auto Transport has put together this guide to make the procedure go more smoothly.
Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area
The United States of America's Fort Jackson is in South Carolina. As a result, the government is unlikely to cover the cost of moving vehicles owned by officers stationed at the station. Only posts outside of the United States are covered by the military.
There are, of course, exceptions that may benefit a select few officials. It's better to take your PCS and speak with your transportation officer about your eligibility for such an exception.
You can also call auto shipping firms as soon as possible to get an estimate of how much it will cost to ship the vehicle yourself and what you can do to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

- Proof that you or a member of your immediate family owns the vehicle you're exporting
- A government-issued form of identity
- Permit to ship a leased vehicle This permit must be obtained from the vehicle's owner.

- Go through the vehicle, preferably with a camera, and take pictures of every part of the car.
- Check the windshield for cracks and discuss fixing them with your mechanic.
Military Motorcycle Shipping
The station to which you have been assigned is in Fort Jackson, which is on US land. You'll need to find a means to get your motorcycle to the station. It is possible to ride it to the station, but this is not a realistic alternative unless you are already close to the station.
Notify the shipping company if you have more than one vehicle to transfer. This type of stuff normally comes with a discount. You can also get a discount if you are a member of the military.
You must show that you own the bike or that the owner has permitted you to ship it to the station.
Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment
Before transporting your motorcycle, you ought to do a couple of things like:
- Take nitty-gritty photos of the cruiser including the plate numbers.
- Eliminate the handlebars and headlights to decrease the possibilities of harm.
