MCLB Albany · Leesburg · Dougherty County
MCLB Albany movers — HHG Movers of Albany
Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany is not Camp Lejeune. Housing stock is small, waits run months, and there is often no on-base hotel to sit in while you wait. Most families land in an Albany or Leesburg rental first. That is the move we run out of our Albany office.
We are not the government household-goods contractor. Official military moving arrangements are handled through the appropriate military transportation channels. Hire us for a PPM (DITY), rental-truck labor, a local off-base haul, or warehouse storage until Lincoln housing or a lease opens.

What this base actually needs from a mover
MCLB Albany is a logistics installation. Fewer families than a flying wing, longer gaps between “orders in hand” and “keys to a house.”
- On-base family housing is tight. Published waits have run 1–3 months (E-1 to E-5, 3-bedroom), 3–6 months (E-6 to E-8), and 9–12 months for officers. MilitaryINSTALLATIONS housing
- You must check in with Housing before you sign a lease or buy. That is an order, not a suggestion. Liberty / Housing Office, 12036 Putnam Blvd, Lincoln Community Center. (229) 639-5962 · toll-free 1-800-707-3614 · MCLBAlbanyMHO@usmc.mil
- Transient lodging is limited. Live Oak Lodge exists but fills. MilitaryINSTALLATIONS has noted periods with no TLF aboard the base — plan an off-base hotel or a short rental. Lodge: (229) 639-5614. Temporary housing
- E-1 to E-5 singles go to barracks. Officers have no BOQ aboard — they live in town from day one.
- Inbound household-goods deliveries can arrive before housing is ready. Someone may need to meet that delivery or arrange temporary storage and a later local move.
So the jobs we get from this base: PPM into a Leesburg rental, unload a household-goods delivery into storage when housing is not ready, then a second short haul when housing clears.

PPM on a logistics base
A personally procured move is one option for Albany families who want more control over the timing of their move. If you are approved for a PPM, follow your orders and military transportation guidance regarding required documentation, weight tickets, receipts, and reimbursement.
- Approval first (DD 2278).
- Keep required empty and full weight tickets.
- Keep receipts for eligible expenses such as the truck, fuel, pads, and our invoice.
- Follow the current reimbursement and voucher instructions provided by your finance office.
- Partial PPM is possible for some families — confirm the details with your transportation office before making arrangements.

How to keep the clock short
- Boxes closed. Kitchen unpacked = extra hours.
- Tell us if the inbound delivery is a freight trailer vs a van line so we staff four movers when the cube is dense.
- Piano, safe, treadmill: say it when you book. No bulky add-on — we plan the crew.
- If you are loading a rental, bring blankets and straps or say you need ours.
- Weight tickets still matter for a PPM reimbursement, not how full the truck looked on Putnam.
- We work Monday–Friday and crews are scheduled to be done by 5:00 p.m.
Valuation (read this if it is a PPM)
Military transportation claims and PPM reimbursement questions should be handled through the appropriate military transportation and finance channels. For a local move or PPM labor arrangement with HHG Movers, ask us what coverage and terms apply to the specific service before booking.
Check any mover, including us, at FMCSA Protect Your Move.
Book the Albany crew
Tell us inbound or outbound, PPM or storage-then-deliver, truck type, and whether Housing has a date. We send a written quote the same day. Monday–Friday service, with crews done by 5:00 p.m.
