Service members who are eligible to move at the government's expense can utilize the DITY program. The government will cover 95% of the total moving costs for a service member to relocate to a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), Temporary Duty (TDY), or Temporary Additional Duty (TAD). The costs are determined by the member’s maximum authorized weight allowance.

The maximum authorized weight allowance is determined based on the service member's rank, number of dependents, and whether the move is to a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), Temporary Duty (TDY), or Temporary Additional Duty (TAD). In return, the service member is responsible for paying any additional expenses that may occur during the moving process.

Profit from Your DITY Move

There is also an incentive if the service member goes about the move in an economical manner. Get this: If the move costs are less than the government allowance, the service member gets to keep the extra money!

We offer four different types of DITY moves:

• Rental Equipment - After you rent a truck or trailer, you will receive an operating allowance advance which is based on mileage and estimated weight of cargo. Basically, you are responsible for everything; packing, loading, driving, unloading and unpacking of cargo. Storage at your destination is at your expense, with reimbursement. Separation orders offer no advance.

The commercial moving company will then drive to your destination where you unload and unpack the commercial moving van or truck. The commercial firm must provide you with an ICC number or State/Federal Regulation numbers, and you must request the company to provide weight tickets
