Movers in Virginia
Virginia splits between the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, the Richmond metro and the Hampton Roads military area, which has one of the highest concentrations of PCS moves in the country.

Moving to or from Virginia
DC and Maryland dominate short-haul. Florida, the Carolinas and Texas take long-distance outbound, and military orders create year-round two-way flow.
Hampton Roads volume spikes hard in summer when PCS season peaks, and base access requires advance clearance for the crew and the truck.
Whether the job stays inside Virginia or crosses state lines, the same company handles it end to end. United Relocation is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier — we are not passing your shipment to whichever crew happens to bid on it.

Moving in Virginia: common questions
What does a move from Virginia depend on?
Weight and distance first — Washington, DC is about 140 miles out, Charlotte, NC about 300, and that gap alone changes the job. Base access clearance for the crew and truck adds lead time in Hampton Roads. Our published starting rates give you a floor — $250 an hour on a local move, from $1,800 on a long haul — and the number that binds is a written estimate against your actual inventory, which is free.
Which cities in Virginia do you serve?
Virginia Beach is the largest market in the state at roughly 448,000 people, and we also run crews in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Richmond, Newport News, Alexandria, Hampton. Smaller towns are covered too, though rural addresses sometimes need a shuttle from a smaller truck.
How long does a move out of Virginia take?
Inside Virginia, normally loaded and delivered the same day. Interstate, distance sets it: Washington, DC at 140 miles lands in a day, Charlotte, NC at 300 miles takes longer. PCS season in summer is the sharpest volume spike in the state.
