OCONUS Base Shifting

Schofield Barracks/Fort Shafter is in Hawaii which is part of the United States. However, it isn’t part of the Continental United States making it an OCONUS area. The government is supposed to pay for the relocating of POVs to the Fort.

If, however, you don’t process this sponsorship, you will end up paying yourself. So, meet your transportation officer and get the details on how to get the military sponsorship for your vehicle.

You will still need to get a relocator that offers shifting services to the fort by yourself. Get quotes from them so you know what kind of bill to expect.

Military Relocating Options

We relocate various vehicles under our services like:

• Trucks
• Cars
• Motorcycles

Hauling to a Military Base

The government should be getting your vehicle to the base for you. While you can use the designated military movers, you might face delays due to traffic caused by various officers being deployed.

Schofield Barracks/Fort Shafter will have rules surrounding the kinds of vehicles that are allowed on base. Examine the rules to know if your vehicle is eligible to be on base.

In addition, as you figure all this out, get the following documents ready:

• Your PCS
• Proof that you or a family member owns the car to be hauled
• Military ID
• Necessary forms like the IAL Pre shipping instruction form.

Readying your car for cargo

The car you want to ship has to be ready for the journey. To prepare it do the following things:

• Wash the car properly with a detergent or whatever soap you are comfortable with.
• Check the engine bay for any leaks from the radiator or engine. Fix any leaks you find.

Relocating a Motorcycle to a Military Base

While the military is still going to pay for the shifting of your motorbike because it is heading to an OCONUS area, how you plan the shifting is important.

Using military movers might delay the relocation of your motorbike and eventually complicate things. For a smoother experience, you are better off hiring a motorcycle shipping company that haul vehicles for military personnel.

In the process of doing this, you will need copies of proof that you or a family member owns the bike and your military ID.

Readying your bike for shipment

Getting the motorcycle ready for hauling is easy. All you have to do is:

• Wash the motorbike thoroughly and rinse with clean water.
• Check the engine and peripherals to ensure that fluids like coolants and engine oil aren’t leaking.
