Beale Air Force Base, home to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing, anchors a tight-knit military community across Yuba City, Marysville, and the surrounding Sacramento Valley. Murdock’s Moving & Storage was locally operated company by Neacail Murdock specifically to serve this region, and military PCS moves have been part of our work from day one. We understand that a report date isn't a suggestion — it's an order — and we build our scheduling, crew planning, and communication around that reality instead of asking you to work around ours.
Our military relocation service is shaped by the specific challenges of moving in and out of the Sacramento Valley. Summers here routinely climb past 100°F, which changes how a move day should be planned — from truck-loading windows to how belongings are protected in transit. We also regularly move families into the foothill and rural areas around Oroville, Paradise, and outlying Butte, Sutter, and Yuba County roads, where narrow drives, gravel access, and longer carry distances take real local know-how, not guesswork. For DITY and PPM moves, we provide certified weight tickets, flexible scheduling around duty obligations, and straightforward pricing to help you protect your reimbursement.
A meaningful share of the families we move are transitioning between Beale and Bay Area duty stations, or choosing to settle in Chico and Yuba City specifically because it stretches a housing budget further than the Bay Area. Whether you're an E-4 moving from base housing into your first off-post rental in Marysville, an O-4 relocating your family from the Bay Area into Chico, or a service member who needs secure storage during a deployment, Murdock’s Moving & Storage has you covered. We're licensed and insured (USDOT 3421940, MC 1416634) with verified insurance coverage, and we offer a military discount because serving the families who serve is something we take seriously.

How much does a military PCS move cost near Beale AFB?
PCS move costs depend on your household size, distance, timeline, and the services you need, so we don't publish flat rates. We provide a free, custom quote for every military family, and active-duty, reserve, and veteran households receive a discount. For a ballpark before you call, try our moving cost calculator at /moving-cost-calculator/ or the /packing-calculator/ if you're estimating boxes and materials, then call (530) 804-5893 for exact numbers.
Can you help with DITY or PPM moves?
Yes, DITY (Do-It-Yourself) and PPM (Personally Procured Move) support is one of our core services. We provide labor, trucks, and certified weight tickets, and we schedule around your duty obligations so the process stays efficient. Many Beale families use us to handle the heavy lifting while keeping the reimbursement difference for themselves.
Do you have experience moving families in and out of Beale Air Force Base?
Yes. Beale AFB sits right in our home service area between Chico and Yuba City, and we regularly move families on and off the installation, including transitions from base housing to neighborhoods in Marysville, Linda, and Yuba City. We plan around gate procedures and housing office requirements so your move day goes smoothly.
Do you help military families relocating between the Sacramento Valley and the Bay Area?
Yes. A steady number of Beale-area families move to or from Bay Area duty stations and airports, or relocate to Chico and Yuba City specifically to get more house for the money after a Bay Area assignment. We handle both the local Valley leg and the longer Bay Area haul, including flexible pickup windows around traffic and base timing.
How do weight allowances work for a PCS move?
Your weight allowance is set by rank and dependency status, and staying under it matters most if you're doing a DITY/PPM move, since it directly affects your reimbursement. We provide certified weight tickets from local scales and can give you a rough household weight estimate during your quote so you can plan ahead.
Do you offer storage for deploying service members or families between assignments?
Yes. We offer secure storage in Chico and Yuba City for service members deploying, families between PCS stations, or anyone whose move-in date doesn't line up with their move-out date. Storage is available for any length of time, and we coordinate pickup and delivery around your schedule.
Can you work around military duty schedules and Sacramento Valley summer heat?
Yes. Military schedules shift on short notice, and Valley summers regularly push past 100°F, so we build both into our planning. We offer early mornings, evenings, and weekend availability, plus heat-mitigation scheduling during peak summer months to protect your crew and your belongings.
