Sheppard AFB Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport
8km north of the central business district of Wichita Falls in Texas is the Sheppard Air Force Base.
The base is named in honor of Texan Senator John Morris Sheppard who supported the military before World War II. The host unit of the base provides training for technical and field officers, Airmen, civilians, and much more. The Euro-NATO joint pilot training also occurs on the base.
While you might be excited about getting to such a base getting a vehicle to the base might be challenging. This is why you need a company like A-1 Auto Transport. We transport vehicles of all kinds to Sheppard AFB.
Relocating to a Base in the CONUS Area
Since the Sheppard Air Force Base is in Texas which is in the United States, the government won’t pay for the shipping of POVs to the base. They only sponsor shipping to OCONUS areas. So, there is a high likelihood that you will be sponsoring your shipping.
There are, sometimes, exceptions to the rule. This is usually applied to special cases where the officer is posted to the continental base from another continent entirely. Discuss with your shifting officer to know if you are eligible.
While you wait, contacting third-party hauling companies to ship your vehicle is a good idea.
We can also help you relocate the following items:
We relocate all sorts of vehicles to Sheppard AFB including:
