army DITY move: how to move 5 cars?? Husband and I are doing a DITY move beginning of October to go back to MD from Ft. Campbell (ETS). We have 5 cars - my 02 bird, my 00 ws6, 00 formula, 3rd gen camaro and DD 07 Malibu. He's driving the formula and i'm driving my bird, the moving company drives their own truck to our house with our belongings. ws6 has to be trailered because it's under construction and while it could probably make it, it wouldn't be the best idea to make the 12 hour drive home to MD. That leaves 3 cars to be trailered. Question is, have any of you used a company to trailer cars home for a DITY and does the army reimburse? Any advice is helpful.

Scratch that, make it 4 cars. We just sold the z28 camaro.
wyome, the problem with asking friends, is we have to get them either to us in kentucky if they are friends in maryland, or back to kentucky if they drove to maryland for us.
i looked into car shipping services, rather expensive. However, I am currently looking into military transports - Military Auto Transport and AA Automovers to see what they offer.

We've researched a lot and figured out our plan: we've bought a trailer from a friend so the trailer is our property, thus counts for credit. Moving truck + trailer with WS6, and driving firebird to Maryland. Bought plane tickets ($59 each for one way through southwest with military discount) and driving formula and Malibu back. Done deal, and for cheap. Think this will work. Guess we'll find it in a little under 2 weeks.
