Moving in Alexandria
Hampton Roads volume spikes hard in summer when PCS season peaks, and base access requires advance clearance for the crew and the truck. Alexandria jobs are usually more straightforward than the big-metro ones — driveway access instead of loading docks — but the same rules on distance and timing apply. The closest market we also cover is Richmond, 110 miles out. The nearest large market outside Virginia is Washington, DC, about 10 miles and 1 day away.
Most Alexandria jobs are straightforward enough to scope from a short conversation, but the written estimate still comes before anything goes on the truck.

Moving in Alexandria: common questions
Which Alexandria ZIP codes do you cover?
22301, 22302, 22303, 22304, 22305, 22306, 22307, 22308 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Alexandria take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Washington, DC — 10 mi, 1 day; Baltimore, MD — 40 mi, 1 day; Richmond, VA — 110 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Alexandria City County?
Yes. Alexandria is what people search for, but crews run throughout Alexandria City County and the surrounding towns.
Is Alexandria big enough to get a crew on short notice?
Usually, yes. As the sixth-largest city in Virginia, Alexandria has capacity nearby rather than dispatched from across the state, and last-minute jobs here are often possible within 48 hours. Peak summer weekends are the exception.
