Car Shipping Lackland AFB San Antonio
Military Discounts Available · BMT & PCS Scheduling · Licensed and Insured Carriers
Lackland AFB is where every Air Force career begins — it's home to Basic Military Training (BMT) and the 37th Training Wing. Every year, tens of thousands of Airmen graduate from BMT and ship out to their first duty station, and many need a vehicle shipped from home to meet them at their new base. TrueTruck connects families and new Airmen with vetted carriers who can pick up vehicles from hometowns across the country and deliver to Lackland, or ship vehicles from the San Antonio area to the next training base after graduation.
Beyond BMT, Lackland hosts multiple technical training schools, the Defense Language Institute English Language Center, and several operational wings — generating constant PCS traffic. Our carriers are familiar with Lackland's location on the southwest side of San Antonio and can arrange convenient pickup and delivery points near the base. For families shipping a car to a newly graduated Airman, we coordinate delivery timing with the shipping process to match training completion dates. All active-duty personnel receive military discounts through our network.
