Military Car Shipping

Officers who live near their new postings usually drive there to report for duty. However, if the distance is far, it will be difficult to get to the airfield in time. Also, it puts a strain on you and your vehicle.

This makes paying a company to ship your vehicle a great idea. That way, the vehicle isn’t stressed with such a long drive, and you can take a flight and report on time at your new base.

Most bases and airfields have rules surrounding the kind of vehicles that are allowed in. Investigate to ensure your vehicle meets the standards of the MCAS Cherry point before paying for shipping.

Part of getting ready to ship your vehicle is getting certain documents ready as well and they include:

Proof of ownership of the vehicle to be shipped
Military Identification
PCS
A permit to take a leased car to the destination base signed by the owner of the vehicle

Preparing your car for Shipment

Getting your car ready for shipping is easy. All you need to do is:

Drain out the petrol in the fuel tank and leave no more than a quarter of the tank’s capacity.
Examine the tires and fix any leaks that may be present.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

Unless you are getting an exemption to the policy, you will be paying for the shipping of your motorbike. You might be tempted to ride your bike or strap it to your vehicle and drive it to the base.

There is room for damage to the bike in both scenarios especially when you are far from the base. The better option is to hire a company that ships motorcycles.

You will also need to submit a few documents as you prepare your motorcycle for shipping and they include proof that you or a family member owns the bike and your military identification.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

Getting your motorbike ready for shipping is important and it consists of:

Checking the tires of the bike and fixing any leaks that are found.
Draining the fuel in the fuel tank completely or leaving at most a quarter of fuel in the tank.
