What Is a Personally Procured Move?
A Personally Procured Move, commonly called a PPM or DITY move, allows you to arrange
your own household goods move and receive payment from the military based on the government’s
authorized moving cost.
The more efficiently you move, the more of the difference you may be able to keep.
You control your schedule, your shipment, and the moving solution you select.
Your Main Military Move Options
Full Do-It-Yourself
Rent a truck, load it, drive it, unload it, and handle the entire move yourself.
Highest effort. Highest risk.
Container or Trailer Companies
You load the shipment and the company transports it.
Less driving, but often limited service flexibility.
Full-Service Movers
A moving company packs, loads, transports, and unloads.
Less work, but usually less PPM savings.
MoveAmerica Hybrid PPM
You keep control of your PPM while MoveAmerica helps with the hardest parts.
Profit potential with less complexity.
The MoveAmerica Difference
MoveAmerica combines the savings opportunity of a PPM with the practical support
service members need to complete the move correctly.
Transportation
Enclosed trailer space reserved for your shipment. We drive, so you do not have to drive a rental truck cross-country.
Loading and Unloading
Optional loading and unloading labor can be arranged based on your needs.
Weight Certificate Guidance
We help you understand the empty and full weight ticket process required for PPM reimbursement.
Storage in Transit
If your new home is not ready, MoveAmerica can help arrange storage-in-transit solutions.
Itemized Receipts
Clear receipts help support your claim submission after your move is completed.
Flexible Move Support
Use only the services you need: transportation, labor, storage, or a complete hybrid PPM solution.
How Much Can You Make?
Government Payment − Your Moving Cost = Your Potential Profit
Example Government Payment$18,000
Example MoveAmerica Cost$12,500
Estimated Net Difference$5,500
Your actual payment and savings depend on your orders, authorized weight, distance,
move date, services selected, and final military reimbursement calculation.
