Auto Logistics (https://pcsmypov.com)

This website is a resource for service members moving or storing their personally owned vehicles for a permanent change of station. Vehicle shipping status, as well as storage history and important information on scheduling a turn-in as well as news and advisories, are available to ensure the safe and timely delivery of your vehicle.

It’s never too early to start planning the next move. To minimize stress involved when moving;

• Prepare for the move by creating a plan that includes decisions on having the military move you or move yourself. Make sure you build in enough time.
• Set a budget and stick to it. Incidental items such as shower curtains, mops, cleaning supplies and pantry restocking can, and do, financially add up.
• Organize, stay organized and start small. Clean up and get rid of junk. Hold a yard sale or donate serviceable items you no longer need. Consider donating to your local Airman's Attic. Gather important family records. Moving to another environment or country means adapting to a new culture, traditions and way of life. Contact the & Military and Family Readiness Center at 701-747-3241 for additional resources and tools to assist you and your family members during this exciting time.
• Accept that stress is normal, especially during the moving process. Utilize a variety of calming techniques to decompress. There are many military and non-military helping agencies as well as phone apps that may be of help. Ask for help if needed.

As soon as you receive your permanent change of station orders, it’s important to begin scheduling your move. The Defense Personal Property System, or DPS, is the online system you can use to request and manage your household goods shipment(s). For more information and a DPS log in link, visit the Moving Your Personal Property page on MilitaryOneSource.mil.
