U. S. Coast Guard Base Car Shipping

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Base Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

The United States Coast Guard base is in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was created to integrate mission support activities and to align with operations at the point of service delivery. It is also in charge of providing support services in its areas of responsibility.

You may receive permanent change of station (PCS) orders to relocate to this base at any time, so you'll need a shipping company that will go above and beyond to ensure your military vehicle shipping goes smoothly.

A-1 Auto Transport has collaborated with several active and retired military officers to provide an efficient and stress-free shipping experience.

Moving to a Base in the CONUS Area

If you are an active military officer who has been ordered to a permanent change of station (PCS), the government may pay for the shipment of one of your personally owned vehicles (POV), but there are specific requirements you must check with the Department of Defense. However, you may be required to pay for the cost of military car shipping.

If you do not qualify for sponsorship, you must figure out how to transport your vehicle to the base. You can do this through a shifting company to make the shipping process as simple as possible.

Military Car Relocating

Because the USCG base is a military base in the United States, military officers posted there will have to pay for their military POV shipments, as the government does not usually sponsor vehicle shipments for officers within the country.

However, speaking with your transportation office as soon as possible can help you determine whether or not you qualify for a rare POV shipping entitlement. If you qualify, the military will handle your POV shipments, but if you don't, you'll need to find a company that can handle your POV hauling project properly.

Most companies will pick up your vehicle and deliver it to your final destination. After you've completed all of this, the next step is to gather the necessary documents for your car shipment. As an example:

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Written approval from the leasing company
• Valid driver's license
• A photo ID

Preparing your car for Shipment

There are certain things to put in place when preparing your military POV for shipment. They include:

• Make sure your POV is clean. Dry vacuum only
• Empty all compartments
• Ensure that your POV contains less than ¼ tank of fuel (diesel or gasoline)

Military Motorcycle Shifting

Motorcycles can usually be transported as separate privately owned vehicles (POV). Because riding your motorcycle yourself might not be a safe option, you can move it through a third-party moving company.

The majority of relocating companies provide discounts to active military officers when relocating a vehicle.

Confirm the rules and regulations that the USCG may have in place for military motorcycle relocating with your transportation officer to ensure that you are not violating any of them.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

Before your motorcycle is shipped to the base there are some things you have to put in place to ensure the safety of your motorcycle. They include:

• Drain your fuel injected motorcycle models of fuel
• Disconnect battery and tape ends with electrical tape to prevent sparking.
• Endure that motorcycle is unlocked so the driver can roll onto the truck
