Fort Polk is located in Vernon Parish, West-Central Louisiana, and is also known as "The Crossroads." It is home to the Army Joint Readiness Training Center.

Fort Polk's mission statement states that it provides "power projection," "combat readiness," and "mission execution for all tenant units as well as JRTC rotational units." The fort is used to prepare combat brigade teams for deployment.

Getting your military privately owned vehicle (POV) to a base doesn't have to be a stressful experience. That is why hiring an experienced military shipping company to handle your vehicle shipping makes the entire process more enjoyable.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

If you've been assigned to a military base in the continental United States (CONUS), you may not be eligible for government sponsorship because the government primarily funds military vehicle hauling for officers stationed outside the country.

However, there are a few exceptions to this rule, which you can find out about when you speak with your transportation office counselor.

Contacting a relocating company as soon as possible can assist you in estimating the cost of moving and putting the necessary items in place to ensure a smooth move.

Military Car Shifting

Unless you live close to the station, getting there could be a pain. You can save time by hiring a third-party auto shipping company to transport your vehicle to the station on your behalf. You will be on time if you do it this way.

You should also gather all necessary information for your car shipping to expedite the process. When looking for a shipping company, don't go with the cheapest quote you can find; instead, go with a highly reputable company with the necessary experience and expertise.

Fort Polk, like every other base, will have its own set of rules for car shipping into the base, so familiarize yourself with them and check in with your shifting officer to make sure you aren't breaking any.

When you're getting ready to have your car moved, you'll need to fill out some paperwork. They are as follows:

A military-issued means of identification
Proof of ownership of the car being shipped

Preparing your car for Shipment

Here are some of the things that are advised to be done before you relocate your car to the base. They include:

Dry vacuum your car
Remove all personal belongings from the car
Leave tank ¼ full
Carry out maintenance
Ensure that you have your documents updated and complete

Military Motorcycle Relocating

The station to which you have been assigned is located in Louisiana, which is on US soil. You'll need to find a way to get your motorcycle to the station. It is possible to ride it to the station, but this is not a viable option unless you are already close to the station.

Notify the shipping company if you have more than one vehicle to transport. This type of thing usually 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 shift it to the station.
