If you are among the soldiers or families moving to Fort Carson this year, you'll be glad to know there are affordable moving solutions available.

Moving to Fort Carson – Put Money Back in Your Pocket.
Here's how it works: The military offers monetary incentives to eligible service members who do a ’do it yourself' (DITY) move. The amount you're allowed for your DITY move to Fort Carson is based on your authorized weight limit, which depends on rank and number of dependents (you can get this information from your local TMO office).

If your move ends up costing less than your authorized weight limit allows, you get to keep what's left over! Sound good? Keep reading...

Moving to Fort Carson – The Way to Save.
If you've gotten a quote for moving to Fort Carson with ABF U-Pack, you've already seen that the price compares to truck rental. (By the way, if you haven't received a U-Pack quote already, you should. You'll like what you see!)

The big difference – we do the driving. That's right. You load it and leave moving to Fort Carson to us. We have procedures in place to get empty and full certified weight tickets, and our local service centers are familiar with pick up and delivery at Fort Carson. The added bonus…You can enjoy the drive in your own vehicle – which gets you there faster, takes less fuel and is less likely to break down than a rental truck.

Fuel, taxes and the driver are included in every U-Pack quote.

How Moving to Fort Carson with ABF U-Pack Works:

Before Moving to Fort Carson

  • Call your local TMO office to set up your move (and verify whether you qualify for reimbursement).
  • Get a free quote from ABF U-Pack. Be sure to let us know it's a DITY move so you'll get the military discount.
  • Make your reservation (which includes scheduling your move date).

Moving to Fort Carson

  • ABF gets a certified empty weight ticket.
  • ABF delivers the empty moving trailer or ReloCube to your location.
  • You load.
  • ABF picks up the trailer or ReloCube and gets a certified full weight ticket.
  • ABF delivers the trailer to your location in Fort Carson (or off base in the Colorado Springs area) and gives you a copy of the weight tickets.
  • You unload.
  • ABF picks up the empty trailer.

After Moving to Fort Carson

  • Once your move is complete, you'll submit a claim for reimbursement to the Fort Carson Personal Property Office.

For more information about DITY move requirements, check with your local TMO.

Alan, Since with ABF U-Pack you have total control over how your items are loaded and unloaded, we do not provide replacement cost insurance. However, we do provide liability coverage. You can check out the coverage we offer at http://www.upack.com/about/liability.asp It's a good idea to check with your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to determine if you are already covered. You can also check with www.movinginsurance.com.
