What drives your moving cost

PCS orders drive the calendar in Junction City, and summer moving season is when trucks fill fastest and prices firm. Local, on- and off-post moves bill by crew hours, while a permanent-change-of-station haul to the next base prices on shipment weight and mileage. Distance to the new duty station โ€” often across several states โ€” does the most to set a long-distance estimate.

What else to budget for in Kansas

  • Fort Riley PCS: Summer orders season packs the calendar, so flexible dates ease the rush and improve availability.
  • Weight and mileage: Long-distance PCS moves price on shipment weight plus miles, so distance to the next post matters most.
  • State income tax: Kansas income tax applies, and service members should confirm state-of-residence rules affecting withholding.
  • Tornado season: Flint Hills spring storms can delay loading, and an off-peak weekday helps.
  • Winter moves: Cold, icy conditions slow crews, so clear, salted paths keep local hours efficient.
