The moving season for service members and their families, running from May to September, faces challenges due to ongoing labor shortages, specifically truck drivers. However, changes to regulations, including handling of specific items and replacement costs for lost or damaged goods, are expected to improve the process. Transitioning to a new Global Household Goods contract is also underway, but its effects will not be experienced until after this moving season. 

  

Key Points: 

  1. Labor shortages, particularly truck drivers, are an ongoing problem affecting the moving season for service members and their families.
