Hello everyone! So I just PCS’d to JBER, Alaska and my vehicle is getting shipped from the New Jersey port to come up here in Anchorage. My father went to drop it off for me back home and I made sure the correct paperwork was there however they said my orders weren’t enough to ship it? I don’t even know what that means because they’re the ones I got when I graduated OSUT that the army literally gave to me haha. Does anyone know the other “orders” I need to be able to ship it? I know a couple guys up here shipped it the same way no problem so I have no clue what the shipping port is talking about. Any insight would help. Thank you!

If your orders don’t specifically state shipment of POV, then the military will not pay the shipping company to ship. You have to get your orders amended to authorize shipping of POV.

You need to go to your local transportation office and get the shipment authorization

Exactly. The port has to be paid for the shipment, and orders don’t confer payment. The paperwork from transportation will authorize reimbursement to the shipping company. Definitely go to the transportation office for this if you have the vehicle shipment on your orders.

If you didn’t have anything specific on your orders saying the Army will ship your POV than you will need to drive it to Alaska.
