Chesapeake to Charlotte
Charlotte is about 290 miles west, the farthest we regularly run, settling onto I-85 for the stretch into the Piedmont’s banking district. Corporate transfers, a logistics role tied to Charlotte’s airport hub, or a family chasing more house for the money after years of Hampton Roads pricing make up this lane.
- Distance290 mi west

Uptown has its own rulebook
A corporate high-rise in uptown Charlotte usually means a loading-dock reservation, a certificate of insurance on file, and a specific arrival window, none of which a Chesapeake house has to think about. Theo Marsh calls the property management office days ahead to pin down that exact window, so the crew pulls straight into a reserved spot instead of hunting for one at eight in the morning.
Straight through, no relay
Boone Ferris and the crew loading your Chesapeake home stay with the truck the entire 290 miles. Paige puts the number down after seeing your rooms in person, and that same figure is what’s due at your uptown or Charlotte-area address.
| Move size | Rate on this lane |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | $960 – $1,340 |
| 2-bedroom home or condo | $2,010 – $2,880 |

| 4+ bedroom or full home | $4,650 – $6,580 |
- The truck loaded in Chesapeake is the truck that unloads in Charlotte, no restaging on I-85
- Furniture wrapped, boarded, and logged before the westward run starts
- Theo locks in the building’s loading-dock or freight-elevator time slot before the crew ever leaves Chesapeake
- Nadia Cross can hold your things in short-term storage if your Charlotte closing shifts
Even at five hours out, this lane gets the same treatment as a job three streets over: Paige stands in the rooms, sets the price, and Grant answers for whatever she puts in writing.
